The Howa Fence Line 300 PRC is a purpose-built long-range hunting rifle that brings serious capability to open-country shooting without the serious price tag. Built on the legendary Howa 1500 bolt-action platform—a workhorse that's earned trust since 1979—this rifle pairs Japanese precision engineering with a caliber and setup tailored for extended-distance game. The 24-inch cold hammer-forged barrel is threaded and ready for a suppressor or muzzle brake, and the included muzzle brake helps manage recoil in a magnum that demands respect. Three-round detachable magazine feeds smoothly, and that crisp two-stage HACT trigger breaks clean for accurate shot placement at distance.
The 300 PRC cartridge sits at the sweet spot for modern long-range hunting—more velocity and flatter trajectory than a .308, less recoil and complexity than some of the bigger magnums. Paired with the Prairie Reaper camo stock, this rifle handles as well in brushy country as it does on a glassing hill. The Howa action is a known quantity: dual locking lugs, M16-style extractor, three-position safety that lets you unload on safe, and a 90-degree bolt throw smooth enough for rapid follow-ups if needed. The receiver is Picatinny-ready, so mounting glass is straightforward.
Accuracy is guaranteed—Howa backs this rifle with sub-MOA performance (1-inch or better at 100 yards with quality factory ammunition) and a 100% lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects. Whether you're shooting prairie dogs from a rest or glassing for elk at elevation, the Fence Line 300 PRC gives you a rifle that's reliable, accurate, and built to hunt.
