Howa M1500 HS Precision 6.5 Creedmoor 24" Carbon Fiber Rifle

The Howa M1500 HS Precision delivers match-grade accuracy with a lightweight carbon fiber barrel that reduces weight without sacrificing precision. This 6.5 Creedmoor rifle combines Japanese manufacturing excellence with American stock craftsmanship for serious long-range shooters.

What Makes This Different

The carbon fiber wrapped steel barrel provides the rigidity of a heavy contour barrel while weighing significantly less than traditional all-steel alternatives. HS Precision's synthetic stock features aluminum bedding block construction that eliminates flex under recoil. The HACT two-stage trigger system breaks cleanly at 3.5 pounds with minimal overtravel, surpassing many factory triggers that require aftermarket upgrades.

Key Features

• 24" carbon fiber wrapped steel barrel for optimal velocity and reduced weight
• HS Precision synthetic stock with aluminum bedding block and gray/black webbing finish
• HACT (Howa Actuator Trigger) two-stage system with 3.5 lb pull weight
• 5-round internal magazine capacity with hinged floorplate
• Black Cerakote finish on steel receiver and barrel for corrosion resistance
• 1:8" twist rate optimized for heavy 6.5 Creedmoor bullets (140-147 grain)
• Threaded muzzle with 5/8x24 TPI for suppressor or brake attachment

Field testing consistently shows sub-MOA accuracy with quality match ammunition, making this rifle suitable for precision rifle competitions and long-range hunting applications. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge maintains supersonic velocity beyond 1,200 yards while generating manageable recoil for extended shooting sessions. Weather-resistant finishes protect against moisture and temperature extremes encountered during mountain hunts or competitive events.
