The Howa M1500 Standard Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor is engineered for consistent accuracy and robust field performance. This bolt-action rifle integrates a precision-machined action with a free-floated, threaded barrel, delivering a guaranteed level of sub-MOA performance critical for discerning shooters.
Key Features
Precision Barrel System
The rifle incorporates a 22-inch black steel barrel, factory threaded to facilitate the direct integration of muzzle devices or suppressors. This cold hammer-forged barrel construction optimizes bore concentricity and mitigates internal stress, ensuring consistent projectile velocity and sub-minute-of-angle precision. The medium-heavy profile contributes to thermal stability during extended firing sequences.
Robust Receiver Construction
Utilizing a black steel receiver, the M1500 Standard Hunter provides a rigid and stable platform for the bolt assembly and barrel. The flat-bottom receiver design and integral recoil lug enhance structural integrity, ensuring consistent lock-up and contributing directly to the rifle’s inherent accuracy. The bolt features two large locking lugs and an M16-style extractor for reliable cycling and positive case ejection.
Traditional Walnut Stock
The classic fixed walnut wood stock provides a stable and aesthetically traditional interface for the shooter. Its ergonomic design facilitates consistent cheek weld and shoulder fit, allowing for repeatable sight alignment and recoil management. The natural properties of walnut contribute to dampening harmonics, further supporting the rifle’s precision capabilities.
