Howa Fence Line 6.5Prc 24 Mb Prairie Reaper 3Rd

The Howa Fence Line 6.5 PRC is a serious long-range hunting rifle built on the legendary Howa 1500 bolt-action platform. Chambered in 6.5 PRC—a modern cartridge designed for extended-range precision—and fitted with a 24-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, this rifle delivers the accuracy and velocity needed for hunting at distance. The muzzle brake tames recoil and helps you spot your shots, while the threaded barrel gives you flexibility to run a suppressor when conditions allow. Wrapped in the Prairie Reaper composite stock, this rifle is weather-resistant and lightweight enough for a long day in the field.

What makes the Fence Line series stand out in its class is the engineering underneath. The Howa 1500 action has been a trusted platform since 1979, manufactured in Japan with the precision you'd expect from a company with over a century of firearms heritage. The 90-degree bolt throw cycles smoothly and reliably; dual locking lugs and an M16-style spring-loaded extractor keep the rifle running even in tough conditions. The two-stage HACT trigger breaks clean, and the three-position safety lets you unload on safe or lock the bolt for secure transport. Howa guarantees sub-MOA accuracy with premium factory ammunition—a 1-inch or better three-shot group at 100 yards—backed by a 100% lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects.

The 6.5 PRC is a proven cartridge for hunters pushing beyond 300 yards. It delivers the ballistics to reach elk or deer at distance while staying manageable in recoil and barrel wear. The detachable 3-round magazine keeps the rifle compact and lets you reload quickly. Whether you're hunting open country or setting up for a long-range mission, the Fence Line 6.5 PRC is built to perform without breaking the bank.
