HOWA M1500 | 6.5 Grendel | 22 in. Threaded | 1500

The Howa M1500 Walnut Hunter is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5mm Grendel with a 22-inch heavy, threaded barrel and a fixed walnut stock. The receiver is drilled and tapped and the rifle features a three-position safety and a matte blue finish on steel components. For a serviceable optic under $1000 that pairs well with this platform, consider a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40; it provides clear glass and adjustable magnification appropriate for hunting and precision drilling at moderate ranges.

Recommended applications: hunting medium game at typical hunting ranges and precision target shooting or varmint work where the Grendel cartridge’s ballistics are advantageous.
