The .25 Creedmoor is the newest wrinkle in the quarter-bore revival, giving .25-caliber shooters access to the long, high-BC bullets that were never available back when the .25-06 was king. Howa's M1500 action is a sound platform for it, with a smooth two-lug bolt and a hammer-forged 22-inch barrel here in the Fence Line Grey Light configuration. The result is a deer and antelope rifle that shoots flat, bucks wind well for its recoil level, and stays genuinely comfortable to practice with all afternoon.
