The 7mm PRC has earned its spot as one of the best long-range hunting cartridges going, and the Howa M1500 GamePro puts it in a package that works right out of the box. At the heart of it is the Howa 1500 action, built around a one-piece forged bolt and receiver with a cold hammer forged 24 inch barrel. That action has a decades-long reputation for smooth cycling and out-of-the-box accuracy, and the 1:8 twist barrel stabilizes the heavy, high-BC 7mm bullets this cartridge was designed around. The muzzle comes threaded from the factory, so adding a brake or suppressor is a five minute job.
What separates this from a bare rifle is the complete package. Howa ships the GamePro with a Nikko Stirling GamePro 4-12×40 scope already set up on ZeroLok bases and rings, which is plenty of glass for deer woods out to open-country elk hunts. The Hogue OverMolded stock deserves mention too. The soft, grippy rubber overmold stays put in wet or cold weather, and the pillar bedding gives the action a solid, consistent foundation that helps accuracy hold up shot after shot. A recoil pad takes some sting out of the 7mm PRC, which matters when you are putting in real practice time.
The two-stage HACT trigger is one of the best features Howa builds into these rifles. The light take-up followed by a clean break makes precise shot placement easier without any aftermarket work. The three-position safety lets you lock the bolt down for carry or cycle rounds with the safety still engaged, and the hinged floorplate makes unloading quick at the end of the day. Sling swivel studs come standard for packing it into the backcountry.
For a hunter stepping into the 7mm PRC or anyone wanting a capable long-range rig without piecing together components, this rifle covers the bases. Mount up, zero, and spend your money on ammo and practice instead.
Yes, this is a complete package. It ships with a Nikko Stirling GamePro 4-12×40 scope along with ZeroLok bases and rings, so once it is mounted and zeroed you are ready for the field. That magnification range covers everything from timber whitetail hunts to longer shots across open country.
It is. The 24 inch cold hammer forged barrel comes threaded from the factory, so you can spin on a muzzle brake to tame the 7mm PRC recoil or run a suppressor without a trip to a gunsmith. A thread protector keeps things clean when you are running it bare.
Howa 1500 actions have a strong track record for accuracy thanks to the one-piece forged bolt, cold hammer forged barrel, and pillar-bedded stock. The 1:8 twist rate is matched well to the heavy, high-BC bullets the 7mm PRC was built around. With quality factory ammo, these rifles are known for producing tight groups straight out of the box.
It uses Howa's HACT two-stage trigger, which gives you a short, light take-up followed by a clean, crisp break. It is a big step up from the heavy factory triggers found on a lot of budget hunting rifles, and most owners never feel the need to swap it out. It pairs nicely with a three-position safety that allows bolt operation while on safe.
