Description

The Howa Model 1500 centrefire rifle has been around for a while with lasting success. Due to it being a clone of the highly successful Sako Finnbear action. The new Rimfire builds on that success with a lot of nice features.

The Howa 1100 has a tubular receiver and the polishing and bluing on the metalwork is excellent for a rifle that is relatively inexpensive. At the rear, the bolt sleeve is contoured to match the shape of the receiver, giving it a streamlined appearance. The Howa’s receiver is drilled and tapped to allow for mounting a scope. Just one of several unusual refinements found on this economically priced rimfire.

Durability, accuracy and exceptional value for money has made Howa probably the number one choice in South Africa. What makes this model great is that the Howa M1100 Rimfire model offer Hunters the best of both worlds. Competition shooting accuracy and consistency, all in a hunting rifle profile. Top performance and an innovative and ergonomically designed rifle are just some of the Howa traits. All at an unbelievable affordable price.

Howa M1100 18 inch Black 22 LR Rimfire Overview

The bolt is the typical half cutaway rimfire type with dual extractors and a round firing pin rather than one having a chisel nose. The rifle cocks on the uplift of the bolt handle, which has a large pear-shaped hollow handle. Lock-up is accomplished by the root of the bolt handle turning down into a matching square notch in the side of the receiver.

Another nice touch is having a bolt release catch on the left rear side of the receiver that runs in a slot in the bolt body, instead of using the sear as a bolt stop like most .22s. The Howa has a 457mm (18.5”) barrel that’s pressed and pinned into the receiver. The barrel shank has a smooth surface and is force-fitted into the receiver, then pinned in place. The barrel is medium sporter weight and straight tapered. Twist rate is the standard 1:16 for .22LR. The Howa M1100 comes with one banana-shaped, 10-shot polymer magazine. The follower and magazine well are made of the same material.
