The Howa M1500 Standard Hunter delivers precision shooting performance with its match-grade barrel and proven bolt-action reliability. This 6.5 Creedmoor rifle combines Japanese manufacturing precision with American hunting traditions, offering sub-MOA accuracy potential straight from the factory. Built for hunters who demand consistent performance across varied conditions and distances.
What Makes This Different
The M1500 action features a two-stage trigger system that breaks cleanly at 3.5-4.5 pounds, significantly improving shot placement compared to standard hunting triggers. The 22-inch barrel includes 5/8x24 threading for suppressors or muzzle devices, while the stainless steel construction resists corrosion in harsh weather conditions. Howa's cold hammer-forged barrel process creates consistent bore dimensions that many rifles achieve only after extensive break-in periods.Key Features
