The Howa M1500 Standard Hunter delivers precision hunting performance with its 6.5 Creedmoor chambering and cold hammer-forged barrel construction. This bolt-action rifle combines traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques to create a reliable platform for medium to long-range hunting applications.
What Makes This Different
The M1500 Standard Hunter features Howa's two-stage HACT trigger system, adjustable from 3-5 pounds for consistent shot placement. The cold hammer-forged barrel process creates a denser steel structure compared to button-rifled alternatives, contributing to extended barrel life and maintained accuracy over thousands of rounds. The threaded muzzle accepts standard 5/8x24 suppressors and muzzle devices without additional gunsmithing.Key Features
