Howa M1500 | 6.5 Creedmoor | 22in Threaded | Walnut

The Howa M1500 Standard Hunter is a right-hand bolt-action sporting rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 22‑inch threaded barrel and traditional walnut fixed stock. It uses Howa’s forged one‑piece bolt with two locking lugs and the two-stage HACT trigger for consistent break. The rifle’s finish is blued/black metal with a walnut Monte Carlo-style stock, checkering at the forearm and grip, and a recoil pad.

For an optic under $1,000 that complements the 6.5 Creedmoor’s long-range capability, consider a variable-power riflescope in the 4–16x or 4–20x class such as the Vortex Viper PST series. Typical applications for this rifle include medium‑range hunting and precision sport shooting.
