#Howa1500

Southern Cross Small Arms is an Australian company based in New South Wales. They specialize in manufacturing quality rifle chassis at an affordable price. We had a chance to review one such chassis offering from Southern Cross Small Arms, the  TSP X (Tactical Shooting Platform).

Photo Of The Day – Today we take a look at the Howa 1500 build in various stages of development. These pictures are from Schrombo’ s collection of gun pictures, used with permission. Here is his description of his find.

Back in August of the current year, we took a sneak peek at the pre-production prototype of Sharps Bros chassis called Heatseeker. A couple of days ago, three months after the release of the first pictures, the company announced that the Heatseeker is available for purchase. Let’s take a look at the final features and specs of this chassis.

Sharps Bros published a video on their social media pages, where John Sharps, the owner of the company, shows the prototype of an upcoming new product – the Heatseeker aluminum chassis for Howa 1500 Mini Action barreled actions. Let’s see what unique features Sharps Bros brings to the market of bolt action rifle chassis.

I recently had the pleasure of testing out Howa’s new HCR, or Howa Chassis Rifle. The Howa HCR is built using a Howa 1500 Heavy Barreled action and an Accurate Mag aluminum rifle chassis. For testing I received a model chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. Testing the Howa Chassis Rifle consisted of several hours of dry fire and familiarization, as well as 8 hours on the range.

Legacy Sports International, recently announced the new Howa HCR, or Howa Chassis Rifle. The Howa HCR sits in an aluminum chassis, and features and Ar-15 style grip and a fully adjustable LUTH-AR MBA-3 stock. The Howa Chassis Rifle will be available in .223/5.56, .243 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor and 7.62/.308 Winchester.

Legacy Sports International is a Reno, Nevada, based company that is the sole supplier for Howa rifles not just nationally but globally. Howa rifles are manufactured by the Howa Machinery Company, which was originally founded in 1907 and is known for producing firearms both for the military and civilians. The 1500 line of rifles has a reputation for accuracy and, according to the company, less heat drift, along with the ability to function reliably right out of the box. All rifles in the 1500 line have a three-position safety and two-stage trigger.
