The Howling is a 1981 horror film about a traumatized reporter who goes to a therapeutic retreat colony only to find it populated with dangerous werewolves. Although the film was criticized in other aspects, it was lauded for its ambitious, influential special effects, which go down even today as some of the best, most influential werewolf effects aside from American Werewolf in London, a similar film.
WARNING: THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS
The following firearms were seen in the film The Howling:
Handguns
Unknown Revolvers
Two separate revolvers are seen in the film that are never seen clearly enough to positively identify.
Rifles
Remington Model 760
Sam Newfield (Slim Pickens) is seen with a Remington 760 pump-action rifle on several occasions.
While it is true that the updated Remington 7600 was introduced in 1981, the year of the film's production, it is unlikely that it was the new gun, since the firearm is not seen in any close-up shots so it is unlikely that it was a hero gun, and it was too new for a film appearance, so it is more likely that this is the older Remington 760.
Savage 99C
Bill Neill (Christopher Stone) owns a Savage 99C which he uses during the wolf hunt.
Winchester Model 70 Super Grade
One of the residents at The Colony carries a Winchester Model 70 Super Grade bolt-action rifle.
Griffin & Howe sporterized M1903 Springfield
One of the residents at The Colony is seen using a Griffin & Howe sporterized M1903 Springfield rifle (distinguishable by its distinctive rear sight).
Parker-Hale 1200 Rifle
Chris Halloran (Dennis Dugan) uses a Parker-Hale Sniper Rifle bolt-action rifle chambered in .30-06 near the end of the film.
Bonus - Silver .30-06 Bullets
Before he heads up to The Colony, Chris stops by a bookstore that he and Terri Fisher (Belinda Balaski) had visited earlier in the film, where he picks up a box of .30-06 bullets that the store owner Walter Paisley (Dick Miller) had special ordered for another customer.
