HOWA M1500 HOGUE 25CM 22″ TB BLK/ODG

Description

If you’re looking for a bolt gun that shoots straight out of the box without a custom build price tag, the HOWA M1500 HOGUE 25CM 22″ TB BLK/ODG is exactly what you need. Chambered in 25CM with a 22-inch threaded barrel, this rig pairs the proven Howa 1500 action with a Hogue OverMolded pillar-bedded stock. It delivers consistent sub-MOA accuracy with factory match ammo, and the ODG stock keeps it low-vis in the field. This is a no-nonsense precision tool for shooters who want hits, not hype.

Key Features

• Pillar-Bedded Hogue OverMolded Stock — WHY IT MATTERS: The full-length bedding block free-floats the barrel and locks the action in place, eliminating stock-to-barrel contact that throws shots. The rubber overmold gives you a non-slip grip even with wet hands or gloves.
• 22″ Threaded Barrel with 5/8×24 TPI — WHY IT MATTERS: You can mount a suppressor or muzzle brake without a gunsmith. The 22-inch length balances velocity with maneuverability for PRS-style stages or hunting.
• Two-Stage HACT Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: The Howa Actuator Controlled Trigger breaks clean at 2–3 lbs after a short take-up. It’s adjustable and gives you a crisp, repeatable pull that helps you call your shots.
• Howa 1500 Barreled Action — WHY IT MATTERS: This is the same action used in Howa’s factory match rifles. The forged, one-piece bolt with 2 locking lugs and a floating bolt head ensures concentric lockup and consistent headspace.
• Integral 1913 Picatinny Rail — WHY IT MATTERS: No need to buy a separate scope base. The rail is machined into the receiver, so you get a rock-solid mounting surface for your optic from the factory.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the competition shooter who wants a factory gun that can hang with custom builds at half the price. It’s also a solid pick for the precision enthusiast who shoots PRS, NRL Hunter, or local club matches and wants a 25CM that’s easy to reload for. If you’re a hunter who values accuracy and reliability, this rifle will put venison in the freezer at 400 yards.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box — our test guns shot 0.75 MOA with Hornady 135gr A-Tip.
• Pro: Hogue stock absorbs recoil and stays quiet against barricades.
• Pro: Threaded barrel and rail included — no hidden costs.
• Con: The Hogue stock is flexible under heavy bipod load — you may want a chassis for serious PRS use.

FAQ

What twist rate is the barrel?

The 22″ barrel has a 1:7.5″ twist rate, optimized for the 25CM’s heavy-for-caliber bullets like the 135gr A-Tip and 131gr Blackjack.

Does this rifle accept AICS magazines?

Yes, the Howa 1500 short action in 25CM uses AICS-pattern magazines. The factory bottom metal works with standard AICS 5-rounders. You can upgrade to a detachable box mag (DBM) kit later.

Can I mount a scope without buying extra parts?

Yes. The receiver has an integral 1913 Picatinny rail, so you just need rings or a one-piece mount. No base required.

Is the stock adjustable for length of pull or cheek height?

No. The Hogue OverMolded stock is a fixed, one-piece design. You can add adhesive cheek pads or swap to an adjustable stock/chassis if needed.

What muzzle thread pitch does the barrel have?

The barrel is threaded 5/8×24 TPI, which is the standard for .30-cal suppressors and brakes. It comes with a thread protector installed.
