The Howa Fence Line 300 PRC is a bolt-action rifle built on the proven Howa 1500 platform, engineered for hunters who demand precision and reliability without compromise. Chambered in 300 PRC—a modern magnum caliber gaining serious traction in long-range hunting—this 24-inch rifle pairs cold hammer-forged barrel quality with Howa's legendary accuracy guarantee (sub-MOA with premium factory ammunition) and comes threaded and fitted with a muzzle brake to manage recoil and shooter fatigue. The Scorched Earth finish delivers a rugged, tactical aesthetic that performs as well as it looks, while the three-round detachable magazine keeps you loaded for the hunt.
Built in Japan by Howa Machinery—a company with over a century of firearms manufacturing heritage—the Fence Line 300 PRC inherits the same action architecture trusted by hunters across America since 1979. The 90-degree bolt throw cycles smoothly and reliably, supported by dual locking lugs, a spring-loaded M16-style extractor, and a three-position safety that lets you unload on safe or lock the bolt for secure transport. The HACT two-stage trigger delivers the crisp, predictable break serious shooters expect, while the machined receiver and forged bolt ensure the tight headspace tolerances that define sub-MOA performance.
Whether you're glassing ridge country or setting up for a long-distance opportunity, the Fence Line 300 PRC gives you a rifle that balances modern ballistics, time-tested action design, and real-world durability. Tool-less firing pin removal, pressure vent holes, and large internal bolt handle all speak to thoughtful engineering. Backed by a 100% lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects, this is precision and peace of mind you can actually afford.
