Howa HWH22ARCLUX 1500 Mini Action Full Size 22 ARC 5+1 22" Blued Threaded Barrel, Blued Stainless Steel Drilled & Tapped Receiver, Turkish Walnut Fixed Stock, Right Hand

The Howa 1500 Mini Action in 22 ARC is a precision-focused rifle built for shooters who want genuine accuracy in a compact, modern cartridge. This full-size rifle pairs Howa's proven 1500 mini action with the efficient 22 ARC round—a cartridge gaining traction among precision rifle enthusiasts for its flat trajectory, mild recoil, and excellent ballistics downrange. If you're looking for a rifle that handles like a dream at distance without the bark and blast of larger magnums, or you simply prefer a lighter recoil impulse for training and competition, the 22 ARC delivers on both fronts.

The 22-inch blued threaded barrel gives you suppressor-ready flexibility and a manageable sight radius. The receiver is drilled and tapped from the factory, so you're ready to mount glass without guesswork. Turkish walnut furniture adds authentic character—this isn't a modern tactical build, it's a classically proportioned rifle that respects the bolt-action heritage while embracing smart modern features. The fixed stock keeps things simple and reliable, and the right-hand configuration suits the majority of shooters out of the box.

With its 5+1 magazine capacity, this is a practical do-it-all rifle for varmint work, small game, distance shooting, and anyone serious about 22 ARC ballistics. Howa's reputation for quality machining and tight tolerances carries through the 1500 line, and the mini action shrinks receiver length and weight without sacrificing rigidity. This is a rifle you can live with—whether slung in the field or bedded behind glass on the bench.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 22 ARC and why should I choose it?

22 ARC is a modern intermediate rifle cartridge designed for accuracy at distance with reduced recoil compared to larger centerfire rounds. It offers excellent ballistics, mild handling, and is well-suited to precision shooting, training, and small to medium varmint hunting. It's ideal if you want effective long-range performance without the heavy recoil of traditional calibers.

Can I mount an optic on this rifle?

Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped from the factory, so you can mount rings and your choice of scope directly without gunsmithing. Measure your preferred optic's ring diameter and height before purchase to ensure proper clearance.

Is the barrel ready for a suppressor?

Yes. The 22-inch barrel is threaded, making it suppressor-ready out of the box. You'll need a suppressor chambered for 22 ARC and any applicable local permits.
