Howa HHSSL65CRTAN 1500 Superlite Gen2 Full Size 6.5 Creedmoor 3+1 20″ Black Threaded Barrel, Matte Blue Steel Drilled & Tapped Receiver, Tan w/Black Webbing HS Precision Synthetic Stock, Right Hand

Description

The Howa 1500 Superlite Gen2 Full is a bolt action rifle in 6.5mm Creedmoor with a 20" barrel, a 1:8 twist and 3-round capacity plus one chambered.

This barrel length is the usual compromise: enough to develop most of the cartridge's velocity while still being manageable to carry all day, and short enough that a suppressor on the end does not make it unwieldy. That is the standard twist for this cartridge, and it stabilizes the bullet weights most factory ammunition is loaded with.

The 6.5mm Creedmoor is commonly chosen for long-range target shooting and deer-sized game. It became the default precision cartridge because it delivers high-BC bullets with modest recoil and good barrel life.
