Howa 1500
Notes: This bolt-action hunting rifle was also sold in the US as the Weatherby Vanguard. It is a standard sort of sporting rifle, with a wooden half-stock and a cheek swell in the stock. Variations of note include the Model 1500 Extra Deluxe, with a heavy barrel; and the Model 1500 Synthetic, with a synthetic stock, as well as a shorter barrel.

Howa 1500 Thumbhole Varminter Supreme
Notes: As might be guessed by the name, this is a lightweight rifle designed for firing small-caliber rounds. The rifle is based on a modified Mauser action similar to that of the Remington 700. (It will even take Remington 700 scope rings.) It is simple and easy to maintain, and reasonably accurate. The trigger is adjustable (though it is difficult to do so). The barrel is heavy and target-crowned, but produces only average accuracy. The rifle is drilled and tapped for a scope mount, but has no iron sights. It is also considered excessively heavy by many hunters. It is not an exceptional weapon, but it performs well.
