The Howa M1500 in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 22-inch barrel is a purpose-built rifle for hunters and long-range shooters who demand accuracy without the weight penalty. This short-action rifle comes dressed in Woodland camo dip from barrel to stock, with a threaded muzzle ready for a suppressor and a factory-installed scope rail—meaning you're setup-ready out of the box. At 7 lbs 11 oz with the rail mounted, it's nimble enough for a day in the field yet rigid enough for consistent, repeatable shots.
Howa has engineered this rifle around reliability and precision. The machined receiver and forged bolt pair with an M-16 style extractor and ejector that have proven themselves across thousands of rifles. The 2-stage match trigger breaks clean, the 3-position safety is intuitive, and the tool-less firing pin removal keeps maintenance simple. The 1-in-8 twist rate is optimized for the short-action platform and pairs naturally with the ballistics of 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition.
The HTI synthetic stock handles field conditions without flinching, and the large integral front barrel lug provides the foundation for accuracy. The 20 MOA scope rail gets you closer to zero on the first attempt for long-range work. Howa backs the build with a Lifetime Warranty and Sub MOA accuracy guarantee—confidence you can carry into the field.
Whether you're hunting at distance, running precision drills at the range, or exploring what modern 6.5 Creedmoor can do, the M1500 Woodland offers genuine tooling without the price tag of premium boutique builds. It's the rifle for shooters who know what they want and don't need the marketing.

Yes. The scope rail comes pre-installed from the factory with a 20 MOA cant, which helps with zero at longer distances and reduces the adjustment range needed on most quality optics. You'll need to add your own rings and scope, but the rail work is done.
The barrel is threaded at 1/2-28, which is standard for suppressors and muzzle brakes in this caliber. The rifle is suppressor-ready from the factory.
It's a 2-stage match trigger, meaning it has a take-up stage before the break. This type of trigger is favored by precision shooters because it's predictable and allows for cleaner follow-up shots.
Howa backs this rifle to shoot groups smaller than one minute of angle (1 MOA) at 100 yards when used with quality ammunition and optics. It's a manufacturer's confidence in the build.
