Product Overview
The HOWA HERA H7 6.5 Creedmoor Bolt Action Rifle represents a synergistic integration of Howa’s proven 1500 precision barreled action with the ergonomic and modular HERA H7 stock system.

Key Features
Howa 1500 Barreled Action
At its core, the HERA H7 utilizes the robust Howa 1500 bolt action, renowned for its precision machining and exceptional reliability. The receiver features a flat bottom for enhanced bedding stability. The HACT (Howa Actuator Controlled Trigger) is a two-stage, user-adjustable trigger mechanism, engineered to provide a crisp, clean break for precise shot placement. A three-position safety allows for safe operation, bolt lock, and unloading with the safety engaged. The integral scope base mounting points facilitate secure optics attachment.
HERA H7 Stock System
The innovative HERA H7 stock system significantly enhances the rifle’s utility and ergonomics. Constructed from a high-strength reinforced polymer with an integrated aluminum forestock, it provides a rigid platform for the barreled action. The design incorporates multiple M-LOK attachment points for accessories, a comfortable pistol grip with enhanced texturing, and an adjustable cheek riser and length of pull (LOP) to optimize shooter interface and mitigate recoil effectively. The chassis is designed for compatibility with AICS-pattern detachable box magazines, promoting rapid reloading and increased capacity.
Precision Carbon Fiber Wrapped Barrel
This configuration features a precision 6.5 Creedmoor carbon fiber wrapped barrel. The carbon fiber outer layer significantly reduces overall weight while maintaining rigidity and aiding in heat dissipation during extended firing schedules. The barrel is precision-crowned and features a threaded muzzle (5/8×24 TPI) for the integration of muzzle devices such as suppressors or compensators, further enhancing recoil management and mitigating muzzle rise.
Integrated Design and Performance
The HOWA HERA H7 system is designed for seamless integration, ensuring optimal balance and consistent performance. The combination of Howa’s reliable action, the modular HERA H7 chassis, and the performance-oriented carbon fiber barrel results in a firearm capable of superior accuracy and adaptable to a diverse range of shooting disciplines. Backed by the manufacturer’s sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, this rifle is built to perform.
