The Howa 1500 Hogue Rifle is a bolt-action rifle that to combine superb quality manufacturing and precision in an affordable rifle. The Howa 1500 bolt-action rifles have a three-position safety and a red-dot safety indicator, both near the base of the bolt arm. The bolt is a two-lug design made of forged steel with an integrated bolt arm. The receiver is also forged steel and the various barrel choices are hammer forged.The gun’s two-stage curved Howa Activated Controlled Trigger. This HACT trigger has crisp, clean, breaks. The hinged floorplate in front of the trigger guard makes accessing unfired cartridges easy. At back the gun has a thick, but gently curved, recoil pad to mitigate felt recoil.
All this sophistication combines to give the gun its sub-MOA rating, meaning that given factory or premium ammunition, it can shoot a group of three rounds within an inch at up to 100 yards.

The 7mm Remington Magnum was introduced in 1962 in the new Remington Model 700 bolt-action. Gunwriters Les Bowman, Warren Page, and others had been clamoring for a fast 7mm, and the Remington's "Big Seven" was the answer. Except the very similar 275 H&H dates to 1912, and the 7mm Weatherby Magnum to 1944. No matter; the 7mm Remington Magnum was a huge success. Viewed as more versatile, it blew the 264 Winchester Magnum off the market and went on to become the world's most popular "magnum" cartridge. Though since surpassed in this role by the 300 Winchester Magnum, the 7mm Remington Magnum remains a world-standard hunting cartridge, adequate for game up to elk and moose, flat-shooting, and able to achieve meaningful velocities with bullets up to 175 grains--but with less recoil than the fast .30-calibers. Most firearms manufacturers chamber to it, and the selection of factory loads is rich and varied. — Craig Boddington
