• Hunters: Whether pursuing medium to large game, the rifle's robust construction and reliable performance ensure success in various hunting scenarios. Its stainless steel components offer excellent corrosion resistance, vital for field use.

Crafted for Unmatched Accuracy: The Heart of the Howa 1500

At the core of this rifle's impressive accuracy lies the Howa 1500 barreled action, renowned for its tight tolerances and consistent performance. This is further enhanced by the strategic integration of an HS Precision stock, which is far more than just a housing for the action.

The HS Precision Stock Advantage

• Aluminum Bedding Block: The stock features a CNC-machined aluminum bedding block, precisely contoured to the specific dimensions of the Howa 1500 barreled action. This crucial component ensures a perfect, stress-free union between the action and the stock. A perfectly bedded action eliminates movement, which is paramount for shot-to-shot consistency and long-term accuracy.
• Hand-Laminated Construction: The aluminum bedding block is meticulously placed into a mold, and both sides of the mold are hand-laminated with a composite blend of Kevlar, fiberglass, and carbon fiber. This multi-material construction provides incredible rigidity, lightweight characteristics, and superior resistance to environmental changes (like temperature and humidity fluctuations) that can negatively impact traditional wood or lesser synthetic stocks.
• Hand-Finished Perfection: Each HS Precision stock undergoes a hand-finishing process, ensuring that every detail is flawless and ready to meet the shooter's needs. This attention to detail speaks volumes about the commitment to quality and performance.
• Ergonomic Design: The stock's green finish with black webbing provides not only a distinctive appearance but also a textured surface for a secure grip, enhancing control and comfort during firing. The fixed stock design contributes to its unwavering stability.

The Power of the 6.5 Creedmoor Cartridge

The choice of the 6.5 Creedmoor caliber is a deliberate one for a rifle designed for precision. Introduced in 2007, the 6.5 Creedmoor has rapidly become a favorite among competitive shooters and hunters alike due to its outstanding ballistic properties.

Why Choose 6.5 Creedmoor?

• Exceptional Ballistic Coefficient: The 6.5mm projectiles typically have high ballistic coefficients, meaning they cut through the air more efficiently, retaining velocity and energy over longer distances. This translates to flatter trajectories and less wind drift, simplifying long-range shooting.
• Manageable Recoil: Despite its impressive performance, the 6.5 Creedmoor offers surprisingly mild recoil compared to other cartridges with similar long-range capabilities. This makes it more enjoyable to shoot for extended periods, reduces shooter fatigue, and allows for quicker target re-acquisition.
• Versatility: It's an incredibly versatile cartridge, suitable for a wide range of applications from precision target shooting out to 1000 yards or more, to hunting medium-sized game like deer, pronghorn, and even elk with appropriate bullet selection.
• Widespread Availability: Ammunition and reloading components for 6.5 Creedmoor are widely available, ensuring you can easily find the supplies needed for practice and hunting.

Key Features for Performance and Durability

The Howa 1500 6.5 Creedmoor with HS Precision stock is packed with features designed for longevity and superior function.

• Stainless Steel Construction: Both the receiver and the 22-inch barrel are constructed from high-quality stainless steel. Stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, making this rifle an ideal companion for all-weather hunting trips and humid environments. It also contributes to the rifle's aesthetic appeal with its natural sheen.
• Precision Barrel: The 22-inch stainless steel barrel features a 1:8" twist rate. This twist rate is optimized to stabilize a wide range of popular 6.5mm bullet weights, particularly the heavier, high-BC projectiles favored for long-range accuracy.
• Drilled & Tapped Receiver: The receiver comes drilled and tapped, ready for easy installation of your preferred optics. This allows for a secure mounting of scope rings and bases, which is critical for maintaining zero.
• Bolt Action Reliability: The classic bolt-action mechanism of the Howa 1500 is renowned for its strength, simplicity, and unwavering reliability. It provides consistent lock-up and smooth cycling, ensuring dependable performance in critical moments.
• Generous Capacity: With a 5+1 capacity, this rifle offers ample rounds for hunting or target shooting, reducing the need for frequent reloads.
• Right Hand (Full Size) Configuration: Designed specifically for right-handed shooters, the ergonomics of the stock and bolt throw are optimized for comfort and efficient operation.
• Overall Dimensions and Weight: Measuring 42.25 inches in overall length and weighing in at 7.60 pounds, the rifle strikes an excellent balance between portability and stability, making it manageable for field use yet heavy enough to absorb recoil effectively.

Enhancing Your Shooting Experience

To maximize the potential of your Howa 1500 6.5 Creedmoor, consider these aspects:

• Optics Selection: Given the rifle's inherent precision and long-range capabilities, investing in high-quality optics is highly recommended. A scope with appropriate magnification, clear glass, and reliable tracking will unlock its full potential.
• Ammunition Matching: Experiment with different brands and bullet weights of 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition to find what your rifle prefers. Each rifle can have a slight preference, and finding the "sweet spot" will yield the best groups.
• Proper Maintenance: While stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, regular cleaning and lubrication of the bore and action are crucial to maintain accuracy and ensure the rifle's longevity. This is particularly important after exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures.
• Accessorizing for Your Needs: Depending on your application, consider accessories like a quality bipod for stable prone shooting, a sling for comfortable carrying in the field, or a sturdy rifle case for transport and protection.
