In this video I discuss getting into long range precision without spending crazy amounts of money but also insuring you get a solid setup and not short changing yourself. I believe the Howa 1500 Bravo with Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 5-25x50 is a fantastic value proposition! This rifle specifically is the 24" 6.5 Creedmoor in FDE.

You can work wonders with a savage and primary arms scope... well under $1k. TiborasourousRex has a few vids on that budget build... Even he was surprised at how well it did-- since he is used to having a $3k scope on a $5k rifle.... and the budget build was getting almost the same results. You gotta check his channel.. He's the master of long range.
I spent around $3500 on my KRG Bravo setup. I used a tikka CTR with 24" barrel, Bushnell DMR3 scope, Area 419 muzzle brake, mystic precision mpod. The KRG Bravo is a great chassis/stock to build on I'm loving this rifle. I use it for longbrange practice and hunting both
Nice setup for sure. I did mine with a Bergara HMR 6.5 Creedmoor, SWFA Super Sniper 10x42 I had laying in my parts locker and the Harris 6-9" bipod. When I upgrade the scope on my 338 Lapua the Bergara gets a Nightforce NXS 3.5-15x50 as a hand me down.
I use my Ruger American predator in a MDT chassis with a Primary Arms 3-18x50 ffp Apollo reticle. Love this setup and I have 2 hits at a mile with it. Can't wait to use it at the milk jug challenge in Utah.
Get a pop up canopy. It won't help with the ambient heat but gets you out of the direct sun. I'm considering a Howa 6.5 with a MDT chassis. Thanks for the review of their KRG build.
brownells sells a howa 1500 barreled action with a trigger for cheap! I would pick up one of those and see if u can sang a XRS Bravo chassis or MDT XRS chassis for cheap!
Great review!! And a great rifle at a decent price. However, the only thing I would change is the scope. A couple of years ago I found Blackhound Optics scopes and now, they are all I will ever use. They've been around for many, many years, and built scopes for many other high-end companies. Now they are putting out their scopes with their own name on them. I would highly recommend you check them out. They easily compare to Leupold , Vortex and other high dollar scopes for a lot less. I have the 6-24X50 FFP MOA scope and I wouldn't trade it for the world! I know it sounds like I'm on a soap box but they are that great. They also come with everything you need except the rail and rifle to mount them on.
Vortex makes great scopes at a reasonable cost Only a tad less light transmission then the best European scopes but they cost 20% to 40% more. Nightforce is just as good.
Won a Howa 6.5 creedmore in a drawing/fund raiser for the local FDP. After I got it home and had the chance too shoot it, I was blown away by the speed! This gun he shows isn't a "1500". I have a "1500", and it's not the bad ass machine he has. What I can say is that this gun out shoots my 7MM Mauser from WW2! It has so much more velocity than my Mauser it's scary! The time it takes for my 9MM S&P shield to go 25 yards, is equal to the time it takes this 6.5 to go 150 yards! It's crazy fast! But I'm no expert, just a guy that likes to shoot.
Awesome setup. Hoping to start this same build next year along with a Mk12 build Going to buy the action first and then the Bravo. Still need to research glass, which I'm going to take my time picking.
the heat is a bastard for outdoor activities. here in NC you can add mosquitoes and humidity along with it. maybe invest in a canopy to get you out of the sun. cant wait for the next video on this build.
Hey my friend! Need your advice, but 1st, really love your channel, I'm an old man but new to long range shooting & excited to get started. In your opinion, if it was you & you were on a budget, my wife calls it an allowance lol.. I'm sold on getting a Howa 1500 6.5 Creedmoor rifle, would you get the system in this vid, the Howa Bravo 6.5 or go with the Howa Oryx OD Green 6.5 Creedmoor 24" Barrel, I can get either one for about the same price
Nice setup. But you can get to 1000 for half the price. Its not as hard today as everyone thinks. Manufacturing is so good just about any rifle can do it. Get a decent scope, some sandbags, and a scope level. I built two for less than a grand and they both hit at 1000, one with wolf ammo.
You are correct, I have Howa 1500 Kryptek Highlander 20" heavy barrel 308. It can hit at 1000 with proper ammo with ease. There is to much marketing out there. The rifles out of the box quality today are excellent. I'll stick to my Howa Made In Japan, it's sure low range price, still this rifle is so good built quality I wont change it until that barrel melts.
Wait, so you have 500k subs, produce what I would call high quality content, but after 2 weeks you have less than 10k views? Is this some Big Tech conspiracy again?
Most of the Texas hunting I've seen is 60ish yards to the feeder. By those standards your 25x scope will fit the Texas hunting ethos. However, if you're going to move the feeder out to a hundred or more yards you're going to need a 150x scope and wildcat magnum at the least!
I wanna get one of these Howas in 6.5 creedmoor. They have one of the Texas painted ones at my local Academy in Round Rock. Being from Centex I'd assume you know where that is just north of ATX.
Two years ago I started building a low price AR15 platform in .224 valkyrie build and told myself not to spend more then $800. Two years and $2900 later, there is nothing low price (cheap) in my build. Don't fool yourself. You start out telling yourself that your only going to do a 400 yard build. From 400 you went up to 600. Then you wasn't content with 600 and that little voice in your head tells you to go a 1000. But you need a better optic and a better barrel. You get to 1000 yards and that voice in your head is laughing at you and calling you a pussy for only reaching 1000 yards and that's not good enough and it tells you to go for 1500 yards. You hit 1500 and you feel good, but around Christmas that pesky little voice comes back starts telling you that you need to invest in a better chassis, a better trigger, better glass, better loads, and a new , longer, heavy barrel. Screw 1500 yards and go for a mile. thus $800 becomes $2900. Enjoy
@@MikoMuru, where can you find the Seekins precision havak ph1 for under a grand? The best I have found has been about 1,500.00. I think you are getting the total pkg price of the Howa and the rifle price of the Seekins mixed up. I can get the Howa rifle for under a grand easy or buy the combo with some bad glass that gets you shooting for 1,200.00.
You could have purchased a Bergara B-14 HMR and had a better stock and smoother action. And a 2 stage trigger on a bolt action never made much sense to me when you have to take your finger off the trigger to cycle the bolt.
I've shot prairie dog over 1000 yds with my 25-06 don't like a crudmoore plus hearing everyone crudmoore is only gun needed. Wrong I'll take a 308 first.
This Howa is better than the Bergara HMR. Did alot of research before purchasing and Bergara had alot of quality issues and the chassis on this is better as well.
I wish some of you guys would take speech therapy courses so you could knock off that "um" "um""um" It's very irritating to listen too for someone that speaks English !
Seriously how can you be so clueless. The bravo cutout is so if you like using a butthook you can, but if not you put the cover on so it will ride bags better. Also the viper is a horrible scope, never should be worht 1k. Sold mine today, the ebr 7c reticle is way too crouded on higher mag and the illumination, even on its lowest is complete overkill, atleast for me - basically blinds the eye.
So I like an optic you don't... Explain how that makes me clueless? Maybe you're just having a bad day and you take it out on the internet. Go for a walk and come back to me. Or don't actually.

I’ll take one in 6.5PRC topped with the Primary Arms 6-24x56 with the ACSS HUD RETICLE.
Love your channel keep it up
Thank you!
I would like a similar set up but in 6.5 PRC.
Having that can on the edge of your table is making me nervous....... My boy dropped mine off the table onto concrete........ 😩😫😩
Have you been able to get rid of reduce the zipper sound of the bolt?
Damn that's a nice looking rifle. Kick harder than 308?
Dirty Rat Not at all, 6.5 has a bit less kick actually
Most of the Texas hunting I've seen is 60ish yards to the feeder. By those standards your 25x scope will fit the Texas hunting ethos. However, if you're going to move the feeder out to a hundred or more yards you're going to need a 150x scope and wildcat magnum at the least!
2k!?! that scope in nz is 2k and the rifle is 1900... add a bi pod and muzzle breaks thats a 4500 build here
How much does this gun weigh with the 24” barrel? I’m trying to decide between a 20” and a 24” in 6.5 creedmoor.
Vortex scopes are brilliant but I hate their illuminated reticle, totally kills your night vision, an illuminated dot would be better .
That’s a very nice rig for $2k!! Here in Canada that exact same rig runs nearly $4k, that’s what I spent on my RPR and Burris XTRII setup
Glad im not the only one that race car'd my rpr. I was beginning to feel like a mall ninja

Low key bugged me watching you reach back for each round. Pull that box up onto the gate or better yet....load...the....mag....

I spent over 4k Canadian and sold mine for 1600, it was a sad day.
Bravo or MDT XRS?
Factory trigger or upgraded to Timminey?
I hope you didn't trade up your apr ranger for that howa bravo
Did you consider am Area 419 rail?
wow ganas nice
How does the Howa compare to the Tikka T3x Tac A1?
Nice
That set up costs 4800 +- ind Denmark
0.5 MOA?
Hallo bro,Im subscriber form indonesia✋
Its too bad Howa is no longer selling this rifle/stock combination.
They still are I just ordered mine
You can invest 1000$ and still make metal ring at 1000yards. It's the shooter not that rifle that hits.

It's so hot where I live that when I shoot I sweat so bad my pants start to slide off. Unfortunately I have to because it's my job.
Put up a gazebo with camo netting over that pickup
