About the Howa Carbon Elevate

The Howa Carbon Elevate is a lightweight centerfire bolt-action hunting rifle built on the Japanese-made Howa M1500 push-feed action. It pairs a carbon-fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel with a hand-laid carbon-fiber stock to keep weight low while preserving accuracy and heat dissipation, and is fed by a four-round internal magazine with a hinged floorplate.
