Howa M1500 Walnut Hunter | 6.5 PRC | 24″

The Howa M1500 Walnut Hunter is a bolt-action sporting rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC with a 24-inch barrel and a traditional Monte Carlo walnut stock. It uses Howa’s two-lug bolt and the HACT two-stage trigger, and the receiver is drilled and tapped to accept optics. For a capable optic under $1,000 that pairs well for extended-range hunting and precision work, consider a Vortex Viper PST Gen II (example configuration: 5-25×50).

Applications: long-range hunting and precision target shooting at extended distances.
