Howa Quality
Determining Howa Values
Howa Machinery is a Japanese manufacturer with sporting- and military-rifle experience dating to the twentieth century. Its U.S. sporting lineage runs from the 1967 Golden Bear to the Model 1500, Mini Action, M1100 rimfire, and numerous stock and chassis packages marketed by Legacy Sports International.
Most current Howa centerfire packages share the forged two-lug 1500 action, cold-hammer-forged barrel, HACT two-stage trigger, and three-position safety. Values depend on action size, chambering, barrel construction, stock or chassis, magazine system, factory package, accessories, modifications, and condition.
