The Howa Fence Line 300 Win Mag is a hard-working bolt-action rifle built on the proven Howa 1500 platform, engineered for hunters who demand accuracy without the premium price tag. This 24-inch rifle in .300 Winchester Magnum pairs the raw power of a magnum cartridge with the dependability that's made Howa a trusted name since 1979. The Fence Line series strips away unnecessary frills and focuses on what matters: a cold hammer-forged barrel, a crisp two-stage trigger, and tight tolerances that deliver sub-MOA accuracy—guaranteed to shoot 1-inch groups or better at 100 yards with quality factory ammunition.
The .300 Win Mag delivers the velocity and energy hunters need for long-range work and larger game across open country and brushy terrain alike. This rifle comes threaded and brake-ready, so you can mount a muzzle brake to tame recoil or thread on a suppressor for hearing protection at the range. The 3-round detachable magazine keeps things simple and reliable, while the three-position safety allows you to unload on safe or lock the bolt for secure transport. Built in Japan by Howa Machinery, the 1500 action features a 90-degree bolt throw for smooth cycling, dual locking lugs, an M16-style extractor, and tool-less firing pin removal—practical features that make fieldwork straightforward.
The Prairie Reaper stock wraps this rifle in a lightweight, coated synthetic design built to shed weather and abuse. Whether you're hunting open prairie, glassing from a ridge, or working rough country, the Fence Line delivers the accuracy and reliability of a serious hunting rifle. Howa backs every rifle with a 100% lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects, so you're buying confidence along with capability.
