Howa HWHCF65G M1500 6.5 Grendel 20" 6-Round Threaded Barrel Rifle

The Howa HWHCF65G M1500 6.5 Grendel 20" 6-Round Threaded Barrel Rifle delivers precision and reliability in a compact platform purpose-built for long-range hunting, tactical applications, and dedicated marksmen who demand accuracy without unnecessary bulk. Chambered in 6.5 Grendel—a proven intermediate cartridge that balances velocity, energy retention, and recoil management—this rifle excels in various shooting scenarios.

The 20-inch barrel with integral threading accommodates sound suppressors and muzzle devices, making it ideal for precision shooters who prioritize hearing protection and reduced signature in field operations. Built on Howa's time-tested M1500 action, this rifle combines sub-MOA potential with a robust two-stage trigger system and controlled-feed bolt design that ensures reliable chambering and extraction across diverse ammunition lots.

At 8.04 pounds, the rifle achieves an optimal balance between shootability and portability—heavy enough for recoil management and sustained accuracy, light enough for field deployment without fatigue during extended operations. The 6-round magazine capacity paired with the 20-inch threaded barrel yields a total length of 46 inches, creating a highly maneuverable platform ideal for hunting in timber, law enforcement patrol roles, or precision rifle competition.
