Howa 26 inch 308 Winchester Pepper Laminate Pro Varmint Overview
Many sportsmen or hunters prefer the versatile applications and durability of the laminated hardwood stocks above the look and feel of a solid walnut or functionality of a synthetic stock on their rifle. Howa Laminated Rifle Stocks are designed to free-float the barrel for maximum consistent accuracy and models are available with the proper clearance for barrels. The Pro Varmint Laminated Hardwood Stock is a great option for shooters with a more vertical pistol grip which makes this an extremely user friendly rifle stock. The laminated adhesive and resin constructed stock with optional aluminum pillar blocks, weigh in at only 1.3 Kilogram. The slightly raised cheek-piece and comfortable length of pull of 352 mm on the Pro Varmint Laminate stock makes it a very popular option among shooters. The Pro Varmint is also a very user friendly stock and can comfortably be used by left handed shooters.

Howa M-1500 Features
The Howa M-1500 features a dual locking lug action based on an old-world platform using modern thinking, taking you to a new level in accuracy. The bolt action design is from a Sako based action, providing you with the same action type as some of the best custom built rifles, but at a fraction of the cost. One of the safest and strongest bolt actions on the market, the bolt features a one-piece body and M16 type spring loaded extractor. The action length is also matched to the cartridge size of the caliber.
The Howa M-1500 Models provide you with a three position safety. The safety is easy to operate and allows you to unload the rifle while it is still in safety mode. All Howa M-1500 bolt actions are drilled and tapped to accept one or two piece bases for the mounting of optics. The free-floating hammer forged barrel has no sights for a modern look and finish. The increased diameter of the barrel will result in increased weight and less recoil. Slower heating of the barrel will also take place during a succession of shots. As with all other Howa M-1500 models, the Howa Varmint model has a twist rate that is carefully selected for each individual caliber to optimize bullet performance and accuracy.
All Howa Varmint rifles include an adjustable Howa HACT 2 Stage Match Trigger. The Howa Actuator Controlled Trigger system eliminates trigger creep and lightens the trigger pull. The HACT System fits all Howa M-1500 rifles that were previously equipped with Howa’s three position safety trigger group.
