Howa 1500 6.5 PRC Rifle - 24" Barrel, Green Hogue Stock & 30mm Scope Rings - Very Good - B597766

Flat-Shooting Precision and High-Velocity Ballistics in a Proven Platform

Built around Howa Machinery’s legendary Japanese-made action, the Howa 1500 has long been celebrated for its cold hammer-forged barrels, solid twin-lug forged steel receiver, and smooth, positive bolt throw. Chambered in the high-performance 6.5 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge)—often called the "big brother" to the 6.5 Creedmoor—this rifle delivers exceptional long-range velocities, flat trajectories, and minimal wind drift for both big-game hunting and long-range precision shooting. The action is set into an ergonomic, weather-resistant OD green Hogue OverMolded stock, which dampens recoil and provides a comfortable, high-friction grip in wet or cold field environments. Complete with a crisp two-stage HACT trigger, a fast 24-inch blued barrel, and an installed set of 30mm scope rings, serial number B597766 offers a ready-to-mount platform for long-range outdoorsmen.
