Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, it delivers consistent ballistic performance for extended ranges.
Key Features
Howa 1500 Action
At the core of this system is the Howa 1500 short action, known for its consistent performance and reliability. Featuring a forged one-piece bolt with two locking lugs, an integral recoil lug, and a large extractor, the action ensures positive feeding and ejection. The M700 footprint allows for broad aftermarket trigger compatibility, while the factory-installed Howa Actuator Controlled Trigger (HACT) delivers a crisp, two-stage break, optimizing shooter interface for enhanced precision.
HERA H7 Chassis System
The HERA H7 chassis is a robust, lightweight system that fully free-floats the barrel, mitigating external pressure points that can compromise accuracy. Constructed from a durable, glass-fiber reinforced polymer, it incorporates carbon fiber elements for optimized rigidity and reduced mass. The chassis provides an ergonomic interface with an adjustable length-of-pull and comb height, allowing for a tailored fit. Integrated M-LOK accessory attachment points on the forend facilitate the integration of lights, lasers, and bipods. The Olive Drab Green (ODG) finish provides a non-reflective, durable exterior suitable for various environments. This chassis system utilizes an aluminum V-block bedding system to ensure a consistent and repeatable action-to-chassis interface, which is critical for maintaining sub-MOA precision potential.
6.5 Creedmoor Chambering
The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge is lauded for its flat trajectory, moderate recoil, and high ballistic coefficient projectiles. This chambering is proven effective for precision target engagements and for ethically taking medium-sized game at extended distances, offering a versatile solution for varied shooting disciplines.
Barrel Configuration
This HOWA HERA H7 rifle is equipped with a precision-machined barrel, factory-threaded to 5/8″-24 TPI. This feature is essential for the seamless integration of muzzle brakes, compensators, or sound suppressors, allowing for recoil mitigation and enhanced signature reduction. The barrel’s construction and careful chambering contribute to the rifle’s inherent accuracy.
Magazine System
The rifle is configured to accept AICS-pattern detachable box magazines, providing reliable feed and rapid magazine changes. This industry-standard compatibility ensures a wide range of magazine options are available to suit operational requirements.
