Howa M1500 Super Lite Gen1 Rifle: 243 Win, 20" Barrel, Model HCSL243GGSBWB

The Howa Super Lite is engineered for hunters who demand maximum mobility without sacrificing accuracy or reliability. Weighing in at junder 5lbs, it’s one of the lightest centerfire bolt-action rifles on the market, perfect for high mileage hunts, steep climbs, and remote backcountry pursuits. Built around the time-tested Howa 1500 action, the Super Lite features a cold hammer-forged, 20-inch blued steel barrel with a slim, sporter contour that keeps weight to a minimum while delivering dependable precision. The barrel is threaded for brakes or suppressors, adding versatility without bulk.

The rifle is paired with a minimalist carbon fiber stock that’s weather-resistant, rigid, and ergonomically shaped for fast handling in the field. Despite its ultralight build, the Super Lite retains key performance features like the two-stage HACT trigger for a crisp, clean break and a three-position safety for secure handling. Available in a range of popular calibers, the Howa Super Lite is a no-compromise solution for serious hunters who need a rifle that’s as light on the shoulder as it is heavy on performance.
