The Howa M1500 in 6.5 Creedmoor is a purpose-built rifle for shooters who demand accuracy, reliability, and versatility without the premium price tag. This short-action centerfire rifle ships ready for suppressor use with a threaded, Cerakote white barrel and includes a pre-installed 20 MOA scope rail—no gunsmith visits needed. The Kings Snow camouflage dip on the HTI synthetic stock breaks up your outline in winter terrain, while the sub-MOA accuracy guarantee and two-stage match trigger make it equally at home on the range or in the field.
Built on Howa's proven short-action design, the M1500 6.5 Creedmoor pairs a forged bolt with a large integral front barrel lug and reliable M-16 style extractor/ejector for dependable feeding and extraction across repeated shots. The 3-position safety is intuitive and secure, and the tool-less firing pin removal means field maintenance stays simple. At just 7 lbs 11 oz with the rail installed, this rifle balances shootability with portability—light enough for a long day in the field, stout enough for serious shooting.
6.5 Creedmoor has earned its reputation for flat trajectory, wind-bucking performance, and moderate recoil, making it a favorite for long-range hunting and precision target work. Howa's lifetime warranty backs your investment, so you can focus on making hits.
