This is a ready-to-shoot target package we've put together in store around a Howa 1500 heavy-barrel action. It pairs the action with a Boyd's Pro Varmint target stock and a Nikko Stirling Diamond 5-30x56 first focal plane scope, so it's set up for the range from day one.
The rifle is a 6.5 Creedmoor with a 660 mm (26") threaded heavy barrel in a 1:8" twist, sitting on a 20 MOA rail with rings. It's a single-shot top loader (Howa bottom metal, no magazine) and weighs 5.85 kg as a package.

Key Features
- Howa 1500 barrelled action – Japanese-made steel action with a cold hammer forged barrel and forged one-piece bolt.
- 660 mm (26") heavy barrel – long, stiff and threaded, for velocity and steady shot-to-shot zero.
- Boyd's Pro Varmint stock – a wide, flat forend that rides a bag or bipod steadily.
- Nikko Stirling Diamond 5-30x56 – first focal plane MRAD scope, so the reticle holds stay true at every magnification.
- 20 MOA rail and rings – extra built-in elevation for long-range shooting.
- HACT two-stage trigger – a clean, consistent let-off that suits precise shooting.
- Three-position safety – lock the bolt down, or unload with the safety on.
Best For
- Club target and F-Class-style shooting – a heavy, stable rifle that's ready for the range.
- Long-range steel – 6.5 Creedmoor holds up well in the wind and the MRAD scope makes corrections simple.
- Fox from a fixed position – on long paddock shots from a rest.
