The Fence Line series is Howa taking their time-tested 1500 barreled action and dressing it for the field, and this 6.5 PRC version might be the sweet spot of the whole lineup. You get a 24 inch hammer-forged barrel with a Cerakote finish, a threaded muzzle wearing a factory radial brake, and a polymer stock coated in the Grey Light pattern that blends into rocky, open terrain about as well as anything out there. Howa backs it with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee and a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, which says a lot about how much confidence they have in a rifle built at this price point.
The 6.5 PRC chambering is a natural fit here. It pushes high-BC 6.5mm bullets fast enough to stay honest way out past where most hunting shots happen, with wind drift and drop numbers that make range estimation mistakes a lot more forgivable. The 24 inch barrel gives the cartridge room to reach its full velocity potential, and the included brake takes real bite out of the recoil, so you can spot your own hits instead of losing the target in the scope.
Howa has been building the 1500 action in Japan since 1979, and the machining quality shows. The bolt runs on dual locking lugs with a 90 degree throw and an M16-style extractor for positive case removal, while the three-position safety lets you cycle the bolt to unload with the safety engaged or lock the bolt down for transport. The HACT two-stage trigger breaks clean and crisp right out of the box, no gunsmith trip required, and the receiver is ready for optics so you can get a scope mounted and head to the range. Feeding comes from a hinged floorplate design, which keeps the profile slick and means there is no detachable magazine to lose in the truck or drop in the snow.
No, the short and long action Fence Line rifles feed from a hinged floorplate rather than a detachable box magazine. This model holds 3 rounds, which is typical for magnum-class chamberings. The floorplate design keeps the bottom of the rifle slim and means there is no separate magazine to keep track of in the field.
Howa guarantees sub-MOA performance, meaning 1 inch or better three-shot groups at 100 yards with quality ammunition. Combine that with the flat-shooting 6.5 PRC cartridge and the full 24 inch barrel, and this rifle is well suited for ethical shots at extended hunting distances. Plenty of Howa 1500 rifles shoot even tighter than the guarantee once you find the load your barrel likes.
Yes. The barrel comes threaded from the factory with the radial brake installed, so you can spin the brake off and attach a suppressor or another muzzle device that matches the thread pitch. Just confirm your device threads before ordering a mount.
No optics or iron sights are included, so plan on adding a scope. The receiver is set up for mounting optics, and standard Howa 1500 bases and rings are widely available. A quality 3-15x or 4-16x scope pairs nicely with what the 6.5 PRC can do.
