The Howa 1500 in 6.5 Creedmoor arrived as the cartridge was reaching mainstream adoption. The 1500 action's inherent accuracy pairs exceptionally with the 6.5 CM's ballistic efficiency, producing a factory sub-MOA bolt rifle at a price point that undercuts most competition. It is now one of Howa's best-selling configurations and a common recommendation for new precision rifle shooters.
