Howa HHS45533 M1500 HS Precision 6.5 PRC 3+1 24" Threaded Barrel, Black Steel Receiver, Green w/Black Webbing HS Precision Synthetic Stock

The Howa HHS45533 M1500 HS Precision rifle in 6.5 PRC delivers precision performance built on American manufacturing standards. This bolt-action rifle combines Howa's reputation for accuracy with HS Precision's hand-laminated synthetic stock construction, creating a platform engineered for long-range shooting, hunting large game, and tactical applications demanding sub-MOA reliability. The 24-inch threaded barrel accommodates suppressors or muzzle devices while optimizing velocity in the 6.5 PRC cartridge class.

The stock features hand-laminated construction combining Kevlar, fiberglass, and carbon fiber around a CNC-machined aluminum bedding block cut to exact M1500 tolerances. This hybrid approach maximizes structural rigidity while managing recoil and vibration—critical for maintaining zero across shot strings. The green synthetic stock with black webbing resists environmental degradation from moisture, salt air, and temperature swings. The 3+1 capacity (three rounds in magazine, one chambered) supports both competition protocols and field hunting scenarios. Black steel receiver provides corrosion resistance suitable for variable weather conditions.

This configuration targets precision rifle shooters, hunters pursuing elk and larger game at extended ranges, and operators who prioritize accuracy and repeatability. The 6.5 PRC cartridge delivers flat trajectory, minimal wind drift, and substantial energy retention beyond 400 yards—advantages in open terrain or mountainous hunting. The threaded barrel adds versatility for sound suppression or muzzle brake installation without permanent modification. At 13 pounds, the rifle balances shootability with field portability, reducing shooter fatigue during prolonged range sessions or backcountry hunts.

The Howa M1500 platform is known within precision shooting communities for consistent accuracy and reasonable cost per shot compared to custom-built rifles. HS Precision stocks command respect for durability and zero retention. Combined, this rifle offers serious shooters a factory-built alternative to custom builds while maintaining the material quality and hand-finished standards expected in precision applications.
