The Howa 1500 in .25-06 Remington fills the gap between .243 Win and .270 Win in the 1500 lineup. Cold hammer-forged barrel and precise chamber dimensions make it accurate with both hunting and target loads. A practical antelope and mule deer rifle at a competitive price. Less common in US markets than .243 or .270 Win configurations but a logical caliber choice for open-country hunters. Type: Rifle Action: Bolt-Action Caliber: .25-06 Rem Capacity: 4 Year introduced: 1990, Japan Weight: 7.6 oz Overall length: 44" Status: Active Intended use: Hunting, Varmint / Predator
