Inside the Howa M1100 22LR OD Green
The M1100 is Howa’s .22LR bolt-action rimfire. It has an 18-inch barrel threaded 1/2×28, a 10-round detachable magazine and an oversized bolt handle.
The 1/2×28 thread on the muzzle is the common pitch for .22 rimfire muzzle devices and suppressors, so finding something that fits is easy. A .22LR with a can and standard-velocity ammo is about as quiet as shooting gets, which makes it a good backyard-range and pest-control rifle where that’s legal. The synthetic stock doesn’t mind rain, and the oversized bolt handle is easy to work with gloves on.
The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28, so you can fit a brake, flash hider or suppressor where your state allows it. Two 10-round magazines come in the box.

What the .22 Long Rifle is good for
The .22 Long Rifle dates back to 1887 and is still the most-fired cartridge in the world. It’s a rimfire round, so the priming compound sits in the rim of the case and there’s nothing to reload. It’s the round for plinking, squirrels, rabbits and teaching new shooters. Recoil is close to nothing and the report is mild, so you can shoot a few hundred rounds in an afternoon without a sore shoulder.
Most loads use 36 to 40 grain bullets, from standard-velocity target ammo to high-velocity hunting rounds. Ammo is cheap and on every store shelf, which is half the appeal. For chamber and pressure specs, see the SAAMI rimfire standard, or read the history of the .22 Long Rifle.
Who should buy it
It’s for plinkers, squirrel hunters and anyone teaching a new shooter. The short barrel keeps it handy in vehicles and blinds, and it’s well suited to a suppressor.
Choosing .22 Long Rifle ammo
Start with a couple of quality factory loads and see which groups tighter. Once you find it, buy enough of the same lot to get through the season.
More about the Howa M1100
Howa built the M1100 as a rimfire trainer and small-game rifle that handles like its centerfire rifles. It’s short, light and runs from 10-round magazines.
At the range
Bring a solid rest, a few targets and at least two boxes of ammo. Start at 25 yards to get on paper, then move to 100 and make your final adjustments with three-shot groups. Most .22 Long Rifle shooting happens inside 200 yards, so confirm your zero at 50 and 100 and learn where it hits at 150.

Breaking in and cleaning the Howa M1100 22LR OD Green
You don’t need a long break-in routine. Clean the bore after the first few range sessions to get the copper out, then clean it whenever accuracy starts to drop off. Keep a thin coat of oil on exposed steel, especially after a wet day in the field.
