Howa HCSL65CGBG 1500 6.5 Creedmoor 20" 6-Round Threaded Barrel Rifle

The Howa HCSL65CGBG 1500 6.5 Creedmoor 20" 6-Round Threaded Barrel Rifle delivers precision rifle capability in a compact, lightweight platform built for hunters, competitive shooters, and tactical marksmen who demand accuracy without excessive bulk. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor—a modern intermediate-range cartridge known for ballistic efficiency and wind resistance—this rifle bridges the gap between traditional bolt-action reliability and contemporary long-range performance expectations.

At 7.3 pounds, it remains handy enough for fieldwork while maintaining the structural integrity necessary for consistent sub-minute-of-angle accuracy. Built on Howa's proven 1500 action, the HCSL65CGBG features a 20-inch barrel with factory-threaded muzzle (1/2x28 thread pitch) ready for suppressor mounting or muzzle brake installation, reducing recoil impulse and muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots. The 6-round rotary magazine ensures reliable feeding across diverse ammunition batches and environmental conditions, critical for both precision work and field deployment scenarios.

Cold-hammer-forged barrel construction and quality control standards inherited from Howa's military supply heritage deliver consistent velocity and minimal shot-to-shot deviation—essential for trajectory calculations beyond 300 yards where 6.5 Creedmoor excels. This rifle serves law enforcement precision riflemen, competitive long-range shooters, and hunters pursuing medium to large game where inherent bullet construction and performance are crucial.
