Howa HHERA65CCFXK7 Hera 6.5 Creedmoor 24" 6-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Howa HHERA65CCFXK7 Hera 6.5 Creedmoor 24" bolt-action rifle represents a purpose-built precision platform for long-range hunters, competitive shooters, and tactical marksmen who demand sub-MOA accuracy and fieldproven reliability. Built on Howa's legendary three-lug bolt system, this rifle bridges the gap between affordability and performance—delivering repeatable precision at distance without the premium price tag of custom builds. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge has become the gold standard for extended-range work, offering excellent ballistics, minimal recoil, and widespread ammunition availability.

The 24-inch barrel maximizes velocity and energy retention across typical hunting and competition distances while maintaining a manageable overall length for field use. Howa's smooth two-stage trigger breaks predictably, reducing shooter error and enabling precise follow-up shots—critical for both competition scoring and ethical field harvests. The Hera chassis system provides a modular, ergonomic platform with adjustable cheek rest and LOP compatibility, allowing shooters to customize fit and sight-in configuration to their physiology. At 11.18 lbs, the rifle balances controllability with sufficient mass to manage recoil impulse and vibration, supporting consistent accuracy across rapid fire strings and extended shooting sessions.

This platform excels for long-range precision hunters targeting elk, deer, and other game where 300+ yard shots are routine, as well as precision rifle competitors running PRS, NRL, or club-level matches. The six-round capacity supports practical hunting scenarios and competitive stages without excessive reload time. The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering accepts a wide range of factory and handloaded ammunition, making ammunition selection flexible for different hunting conditions or competitive requirements. The rifle ships ready to mount an optic on its standard Picatinny rail, and the modular Hera chassis accommodates industry-standard sling mounts and accessory attachments for bipods, bags, and cabling systems.
