Howa M1500 HCBNVTG65CSGW | 6.5mm Creedmoor | 22 in

The Howa M1500 HCBNVTG65CSGW is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor fitted with a 22 in steel threaded barrel and a carbon-fiber-wrapped stock that includes a vertical grip to reduce weight while preserving control. It has a two-stage trigger, a three-position safety, and a 5+1 detachable magazine capacity, making it suitable for disciplined precision use. Pair this rifle with a mid- to high-magnification scope such as a Vortex Crossfire II 4-12×40 for effective medium-range accuracy without exceeding a typical $1,000 optics budget.

Applications: precision target shooting and medium-range hunting are natural fits for this configuration, where the 6.5mm Creedmoor cartridge and a 22 in threaded barrel deliver balanced ballistics and tunability.
