Howa M1500 Super Lite Gen1 Short Barrel Rifle: 308 Win, 16.25" Barrel, Model HCSL308GGSBWB-16

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.
