Howa M1500 Super Lite | 6.5 Creedmoor | 20″

The Howa M1500 Super Lite is a compact bolt-action sporting rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 20-inch barrel and walnut stock. It ships with a blued metal finish, a threaded muzzle, and a LimbSaver recoil pad; the action is a Howa short-style bolt. For an optic under $1,000 that pairs well with this configuration, consider the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25×50 for extended-range precision without exceeding the stated budget.

Applications: mountain hunting and compact-field precision shooting (including tree-stand use) are appropriate uses for this rifle given its shorter overall length and lightweight design.
