Howa M1500 HS Precision 6.5 Creedmoor 24" Heavy Barrel Rifle

The Howa M1500 HS Precision delivers sub-MOA accuracy potential in a factory rifle engineered for precision shooting applications. This bolt-action platform combines Japanese manufacturing precision with American stock technology to create a rifle that competes with custom builds at a fraction of the cost.

What Makes This Different

The HS Precision stock sets this rifle apart from standard hunting configurations. Where most factory rifles use lightweight barrels that heat up quickly, the 24-inch heavy barrel profile maintains consistent accuracy through extended shooting sessions. The two-stage HACT trigger system provides a crisp break that enhances precision, while the integral recoil lug ensures consistent bedding and improved accuracy potential.

Key Features

• 24-inch heavy barrel profile for enhanced accuracy and heat dissipation
• HS Precision fiberglass stock with aluminum bedding block
• HACT two-stage trigger system adjustable from 3-5 pounds
• Integral recoil lug machined into receiver for consistent bedding
• 4+1 capacity with hinged floorplate magazine system
• Blued steel construction with corrosion-resistant finish
• Threaded muzzle ready for suppressor or muzzle brake installation

The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering excels in long-range applications where wind drift and bullet drop matter. Factory match ammunition regularly produces sub-MOA groups, making this rifle suitable for precision rifle competition, long-range hunting, and tactical training applications. The heavy barrel profile reduces harmonic vibration and maintains zero consistency across temperature variations.
