This week, we’re taking a closer look at the Howa M1500 Super Lite. Weighing in at a shocking 4 pounds, 7 ounces—thanks in no small part to its Stocky’s composite stock—the Super Lite is the gun you reach for when you’ll be burning boot leather for miles in rugged terrain. Available in respected short-action calibers like 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Win., .243 Win. and 7mm-08 Rem., this rig packs enough punch for dedicated big-game hunters despite its mini-action weight. Learn more about it in the video embedded above, hosted by Digital Associate Editor David Herman. MSRP: $1,039; howausa.com.
