Howa 1500 Super Lite 6.5 Creedmoor Bolt-Action Rifle, 20 in Threaded Barrel, Carbon Fiber Kryptek Altitude Stock
The Howa 1500 Super Lite in 6.5 Creedmoor delivers a remarkably light carry weight at approximately 4 lb 7 oz while retaining the proven Model 1500 action and a factory SUB-MOA accuracy guarantee. It pairs a 20 in cold hammer forged, lightweight-contour steel barrel with a carbon fiber stock finished in Kryptek Altitude camo, a two-stage H.A.C.T. trigger, and a 3-position safety. The rifle uses a detachable, flush-fit 3-round magazine and features a threaded muzzle with a protector for added versatility.

This Super Lite configuration emphasizes carry weight without sacrificing core performance. The Kryptek Altitude carbon fiber stock keeps the rifle full-size and steady while trimming ounces, and it incorporates a bedding system, sling swivel studs, and a recoil pad for practical field use. Length of pull is set at 13.25 in for a consistent shoulder fit.
The 20 in cold hammer forged steel barrel uses a lightweight contour and a 1:8 twist suited to a broad range of 6.5 Creedmoor loads. The muzzle is threaded 1/2x28 and ships with a thread protector. There are no iron sights, and the metalwork wears a matte blued finish for a low-glare profile.
At the heart is the two-lug, push-feed Model 1500 action with an M16-style extractor. Howa’s two-stage H.A.C.T. trigger provides a clean break, and the 3-position safety allows operation flexibility. The receiver is steel with a matching matte blued finish.
Feeding is via a detachable, flush-fit box magazine for a 3+1 capacity. Overall length is approximately 38.75 in, keeping the rifle compact for a full-size hunting setup. This example bears the correct Japanese proofs and import marks: MADE IN JAPAN and IMPORTED BY LEGACY SPORTS, RENO, NV.
