The Howa 1500 in .22-250 Remington is a purpose-built varmint and predator rifle at a competitive price. The cold hammer-forged barrel is standard for .22-250 accuracy demands, and the 1500 action's tight tolerances contribute to consistent sub-MOA performance. Common among coyote and prairie dog hunters who prioritize accuracy over brand prestige.
