The Howa M1500 GamePro Gen2 delivers precision long-range performance with its 6.5 PRC chambering and factory-mounted GamePro optic system. This complete rifle package eliminates the guesswork of scope selection while providing sub-MOA accuracy potential straight from the box.
What Makes This Different
The GamePro Gen2 combines Howa's proven M1500 action with a purpose-built hunting configuration that includes professional scope mounting and bore-sighting. Unlike basic rifle packages, this system features a pillar-bedded Hogue stock that provides consistent accuracy by eliminating action flex. The 24-inch threaded barrel accommodates suppressors or muzzle devices while maximizing the 6.5 PRC cartridge's ballistic potential.
Key Features
- 6.5 PRC chambering delivers flat trajectory and excellent long-range performance
- 24-inch threaded barrel (5/8x24 TPI) ready for suppressors or muzzle brakes

Field performance centers on the 6.5 PRC cartridge's ability to maintain velocity and energy at extended ranges. The combination of the 24-inch barrel and quality optic makes this rifle effective for hunting applications from 100 to 600+ yards. The threaded muzzle accepts standard 5/8x24 accessories, while the pillar-bedded stock maintains zero through temperature changes and field use.
