Howa HGR72513 M1500 6.5 Creedmoor 22" 6-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Howa HGR72513 M1500 Hogue Full Size in 6.5 Creedmoor is a precision-engineered bolt-action rifle designed for shooters who demand accuracy and reliability without premium pricing. Built on Howa's cold hammer-forged 22-inch stainless steel threaded barrel paired with a drilled and tapped stainless steel receiver, this rifle delivers the mechanical precision necessary for consistent long-range performance while the threaded barrel provides flexibility for muzzle device installation.

The platform centers on Howa's proven M1500 action—a steel forged bolt and receiver combination that has established a track record for durability and tight tolerances. The HACT 2-stage trigger enables shooters to dial in a break point suited to their preference, critical for precision shooting disciplines. The Hogue OverMolded OD Green synthetic stock features pillar bedding, which isolates the action from stock flex and improves shot-to-shot consistency. At 10 pounds, the rifle remains manageable for field work while maintaining the mass needed to dampen recoil impulse. The 5+1 capacity (one in the chamber, five in the magazine) suits both hunting applications and precision rifle training scenarios where rapid reloading is less critical than accuracy.

This configuration appeals to long-range hunters, competitive shooters transitioning from AR-platform rifles to bolt guns, and precision rifle enthusiasts building entry-level match systems. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge has become the intermediate-range standard for competitions and extended-range hunting, offering superior ballistics to traditional short-action calibers with moderate recoil. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion—an advantage in variable weather or salt-air environments. Shooters seeking an accurate, ready-to-shoot rifle without requiring extensive gunsmithing or stock replacement will find this Howa M1500 Hogue platform immediately functional for both range training and field deployment.
