The Howa M1500 Hera delivers precision shooting performance in a modern chassis system that transforms the traditional bolt-action platform. This 6.5 Creedmoor rifle combines Howa's proven M1500 action with the innovative Hera H7 chassis for enhanced ergonomics and modularity.
What Makes This Different
The Hera H7 chassis system sets this rifle apart from standard hunting configurations by providing adjustable length of pull, AR-style pistol grip ergonomics, and multiple attachment points for accessories. The 22-inch threaded barrel optimizes 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics while accepting suppressors or muzzle devices. This combination delivers sub-MOA accuracy potential in a platform that adapts to various shooting disciplines.

The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering excels in long-range applications, maintaining supersonic velocity beyond 1,200 yards with match ammunition.
