Howa rifles are made in Japan and have earned a strong reputation in Australia for accurate, dependable actions at a sensible price. The Howa 1500 action is also a popular base for custom and chassis builds.

Our Howa range includes Carbon Stalker rifles in calibres such as .223, .22-250, .243, .270, .308, .30-06 and .300, the 1500 Superlite, and 1500 rifles in Hogue stocks, Hera H7 chassis and MDT Oryx chassis. The Mini Action is offered in .223, .300 Blackout, 22 ARC and 6mm ARC, and there are barrelled actions in blued, stainless and carbon-fibre-wrapped finishes for builders. For rimfire shooters, the Howa M1100 is available in .22 LR with synthetic or walnut stocks.

The Mini Action suits short cartridges such as .223 in a compact, light package, while the full-size 1500 covers standard hunting calibres. Chassis models suit precision and bench shooting, Carbon Stalker models favour light weight for walking hunts, and barrelled actions let you choose your own stock.

All firearms are sold only to appropriately licensed shooters, and a valid firearms licence and Permit to Acquire (PTA) are required before purchase. Our team can explain the process and help you choose the right setup.

Which Howa suits how you hunt?

Start with the job, then the model.

For foxes and rabbits, a Mini Action in .223 is compact and light, and the short action keeps the whole rifle trim. For general hunting in standard calibres, go the full-size 1500. Pick a Carbon Stalker if you walk a lot, because the carbon-wrapped barrel takes weight off where you feel it most, out front. If you shoot off a bench or want to tinker with the setup, the chassis models and barrelled actions are the way to go.

Factory rifle or build?

A factory rifle is ready to scope and shoot, so there's no fuss. A barrelled action costs you a bit more time, but you get to pick the stock or chassis that fits you. If you've never done a build, start with a factory rifle and you'll know what you'd change next time.

Not sure which one? Tell us where you hunt and what you're after, and we'll point you straight to the right Howa.
