Rusan Picatinny Steel Rail - Howa 1500 (SA) Short Action - 40 MOA
Built for extreme long‑range performance, the Rusan Picatinny Steel Rail for Howa 1500 Short Action – 40 MOA delivers maximum elevation adjustment for shooters pushing their rifle to serious distances. Precision‑machined from high‑strength steel, this rail provides exceptional rigidity and repeatable zero under recoil. The aggressive 40 MOA cant dramatically increases usable scope elevation, making it ideal for long‑range competition, precision target shooting, and specialized setups. Despite the cant, the low‑profile, action‑specific design preserves proper ergonomics and handling on the Howa 1500 platform.
