Howa M1500 Mini EXCL Lite | 6.5mm Grendel | 20in

The Howa M1500 Mini EXCL Lite in 6.5mm Grendel pairs a Howa barreled action with a lightweight, structurally durable Mini EXCL chassis finished in USA Flag Cerakote. It ships with a Nikko Stirling GamePro 3.5-10x44mm scope and features a 20in heavy, threaded barrel with a 1:8″ twist rate. This platform is well suited to precision target shooting and medium-range hunting. For optics, a mid-range variable such as the Vortex Diamondback 4-12×40 would pair well with this rifle and is readily available for under $1000.
