Howa M1500 Mini EXCL Lite 6mm ARC 20" 5+1 Bolt-Action Rifle

The Howa M1500 Mini EXCL Lite is a compact bolt-action rifle built around Howa's short Mini Action and chambered in the modern 6mm ARC cartridge. Designed for hunters and shooters who want a trim, lightweight rifle that still delivers accurate long-range performance, the Mini EXCL Lite pairs a short-action footprint with a full 20" barrel, a pillar-bedded synthetic stock, and Howa's two-stage match trigger.

The 6mm ARC chambering drives high-BC .22-caliber-diameter bullets at efficient velocities, making the Mini EXCL Lite equally capable as a close-cover deer rifle and a long-range precision platform. The 20" barrel is threaded 5/8x24 for suppressor or muzzle-device attachment and features a 1:7.5 twist to stabilize modern 6mm ARC projectiles. The 5+1 detachable magazine keeps the rifle compact and balanced.

The lightweight HTI synthetic stock is finished in black and pillar-bedded for accuracy, with an ergonomic grip for comfortable field carry. The length of pull adjusts from 12.5" to 15" to fit a wide range of shooters. Right-hand configuration. Built at Howa's Japanese factory and backed by the company's lifetime warranty, the M1500 Mini EXCL Lite is a tidy, accurate, and versatile bolt-action rifle ready to mount your optic of choice directly to the receiver and head to the range or the field.
