Why choose Howa APC and TSP X Chassis Rifles

It’s for long-range shooters, PRS-style competitors and anyone who shoots prone off a bipod. It’s for shooters who want a heavy, stable chassis rifle with the scope already included.

Every centerfire rifle here uses the Howa 1500 action family: a two-lug, one-piece bolt and a three-position safety whose middle setting lets you unload on safe. Howa builds it in Japan, and it has been in production since 1979.

For cartridge specs, SAAMI publishes the industry standards. If you’re buying for a hunt, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service hunting page links to public land and state agencies.
