The Howa Fence Line 25 Creed in 22" with muzzle brake and Scorched Earth finish is a compact, hard-hitting bolt-action rifle built on the legendary Howa 1500 platform. This is a serious hunting and range rifle for shooters who demand sub-MOA precision without the premium price tag. The Howa 1500 has been the choice of North American hunters since 1979—engineered in Japan with over a century of firearms manufacturing heritage behind it—and the Fence Line Series carries that same commitment to reliability and accuracy into a modern, practical package.
The 25 Creed chambering gives you flat shooting, minimal recoil, and excellent performance on medium game. The 22" cold hammer-forged barrel is threaded and suppressor-ready, so you can thread on a muzzle brake for range work or add a suppressor for hunting. The rifle ships with a muzzle brake installed. The Howa 1500 action itself is built to tight headspace specs with a true, square bolt face, dual locking lugs, and a spring-loaded M16-style extractor—the kind of rock-solid mechanics that don't quit. The two-stage trigger is crisp and predictable, and the 90-degree bolt throw cycles smooth and fast. A three-position safety lets you unload on safe or lock the bolt for secure transport.
The Scorched Earth finish on the synthetic stock pairs practical camouflage with durability, and the 4-round detachable magazine keeps you ready to go. This rifle will shoot sub-MOA groups—we're talking 1 inch or better at 100 yards with quality factory ammunition—and Howa backs it with a 100% lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects. Whether you're glassing remote ridges, working a feedlot fence line, or punching holes at the range, the Fence Line delivers precision and reliability you can count on.
