Infobox[edit]

I don't see why so much of the infobox gives no information since it depends on caliber - it would make more sense to me to just choose one, and then add a table elsewhere in the article comparing it to other calibers, even a few of them would be better than none at all. Having a wide variety of available calibers certainly isn't unique to the M1500.Loafiewa (talk) 01:24, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tone change?[edit]

This text is a lot more like marketing than an encyclopedic tone:

"In addition, among the models sold overseas, if a defect in the rifle's bolt is detected, Howa will provide a new bolt, free of charge, for the target serial number.

The M1500, while being comparatively low priced compared to other overseas models, has been judged to have all the delicacy and robustness one would expect from Japanese engineering."
