Howa M1500 Carbon Stalker Rifle: 30-06 Springfield, 22" Barrel, Model HCBN3006GRYW

The Howa Carbon Stalker is a purpose-built ultralight hunting rifle designed for serious backcountry performance. Weighing in at under 6 pounds, it’s one of the lightest full-featured bolt-action rifles available—ideal for high-mileage hunts, steep terrain, and long days on foot. At its core is the proven Howa 1500 action, paired with a cold hammer-forged blued steel barrel for dependable accuracy and classic styling. The barrel is threaded for brakes or suppressors, and its slim profile keeps weight down without sacrificing precision or durability.

The rifle’s minimalist carbon fiber stock is weather-resistant and ergonomically shaped for fast handling and a secure grip in any condition. Combined with the sub-6 lb weight, it’s a dream to carry and shoulder in rugged terrain. The two-stage HACT trigger provides a crisp, predictable break, while the three-position safety ensures secure handling during loading and unloading. Available in a range of popular calibers, the Howa Carbon Stalker with blued barrel is a go-anywhere, do-anything rifle for serious hunters who refuse to compromise on weight, reliability, or performance.
