Howa 1500 6.5 Creedmoor 16.25" Heavy Barrel 10+1 Capacity Bolt Action Rifle - Black Hogue Stock - HHGB65C16

The Howa 1500 has earned a stellar reputation among shooters and hunters worldwide for delivering precision accuracy, legendary reliability, and exceptional value. With over 40 years in the firearms industry, Howa has become one of the most trusted names in bolt-action rifles, producing firearms that are meticulously crafted to withstand the rigors of hunting in even the worst environmental conditions. The Howa 1500 platform is renowned for its match-grade accuracy right out of the box, often rivaling custom rifles costing twice as much.

This model is chambered in the highly popular 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge, known for its flat trajectory, mild recoil, and long-range accuracy. The 16.25-inch heavy barrel is cold hammer-forged from high-quality steel, a manufacturing process that creates an incredibly durable, accurate barrel with a longer service life. The heavy barrel profile provides enhanced rigidity for improved accuracy and helps manage heat during extended shooting sessions. With a 1:8 twist rate, this barrel is optimized for stabilizing the heavier, high-BC bullets that make 6.5 Creedmoor such an effective long-range cartridge. The barrel features a threaded muzzle (5/8x24), making it ready for suppressors or muzzle brakes.

The rifle is paired with the ergonomic Hogue OverMolded synthetic stock in black, which features pillar bedding for consistent accuracy and a comfortable recoil pad to tame the already-mild recoil of the 6.5 Creedmoor. The soft, tactile grip of the Hogue stock provides excellent control in all weather conditions, whether your hands are wet, cold, or wearing gloves. The steel forged bolt and receiver are built to last generations, with a smooth 60-degree bolt throw for fast cycling. The HACT (Howa Actuation Control Trigger) is a crisp, adjustable 2-stage trigger that breaks cleanly for precise shot placement, and the three-position safety allows you to safely unload the rifle with the safety engaged.

With a 10+1 capacity (10 rounds in the detachable box magazine plus one in the chamber), you have plenty of firepower for extended range sessions or hunting scenarios. The rifle comes equipped with sling swivel studs for easy attachment of a sling or bipod. Weighing approximately 10.3 lbs, this rifle provides a stable shooting platform while remaining manageable for field use. Whether you're pursuing medium to large game, competing in precision rifle matches, or enjoying long-range target shooting, the Howa 1500 in 6.5 Creedmoor delivers match-grade performance at an entry-level price point that's hard to beat.
