The Howa M1500 Carbon Stalker rifle in 6.5mm Creedmoor with gray webbing (brand part no. HCBNVTG65CSGW) pairs a proven M1500 action with a lightweight vertical-grip carbon-fiber stock built for hunters and precision shooters who want a lighter carry. Howa fits the 22-inch barrel into a custom Stocky’s carbon-fiber stock with a vertical pistol grip and gray webbing finish, and the bolt action feeds from a 5+1 capacity magazine. A 3-position safety gives the shooter positive control over the action, and the 1:8-inch twist rate is matched to heavier 6.5 Creedmoor bullets favored for long-range accuracy. Among vertical-grip builds in the bolt action rifles category, this M1500 Carbon Stalker configuration favors shooters who want a more upright hold.
