Description
You’re in the Missouri timber at first light, the air crisp and still. A coyote appears at 200 yards, a ghost in the brush. You need a rifle that’s light enough for miles of walking, fast enough for a fleeting shot, and accurate enough to make it count. That’s the exact scenario the Howa/Gameking Camo Package .22-250 Remington 20″ Lightweight Blued Barrel Synthetic Stock Foxy Woods Camouflage Finish Gameking 3.5-10x44mm Riflescope 5rd is built for. It’s a complete, ready-to-hunt system designed for the varmint hunter and predator caller who demands reach, speed, and precision without the weight penalty of a heavier rig.
This package centers on the proven Howa 1500 action, a platform known for its smooth operation and rugged reliability. The 20-inch lightweight barrel chambered in .22-250 Remington is the engine of this setup. That cartridge is a flat-shooting laser beam, delivering hyper-velocity performance that’s devastating on prairie dogs, foxes, and coyotes. The barrel’s blued finish provides classic corrosion resistance, while the synthetic stock in Foxy Woods camo breaks up your outline perfectly in autumn hardwoods and early-season fields. At just over 7 pounds scoped, it’s a rifle you can carry all day. The package price of $629.04 represents a significant value, bundling a scope that would be a separate $200+ investment.
Key Features Built for the Field
The heart of this package is its synergy. The rifle comes topped with a Gameking 3.5-10x44mm riflescope, a optic with a reputation for clear glass and reliable tracking. It’s mounted and ready—no gunsmithing required. You take it out of the box, verify your zero, and you’re hunt-ready. The 44mm objective lens pulls in ample light for those critical low-light moments at dawn and dusk, giving you a clear sight picture when game is most active. The Foxy Woods camouflage isn’t just for show; it’s a practical finish that withstands the elements and brush better than a plain synthetic stock, and it ships to Missouri and compliant US states.
Howa’s 1500 action uses a crisp, user-adjustable trigger and a solid one-piece bolt design with two large locking lugs for consistent lockup and accuracy. The synthetic stock is durable and stable, unaffected by moisture or temperature swings that can warp wood. The 5-round detachable box magazine allows for quick reloading—a real advantage when a prairie dog town gets active or you have a second coyote hang up just out of range. Look, the .22-250 is a cartridge that rewards a steady hold and good glass. This package provides both, eliminating the guesswork of pairing a rifle and scope yourself.

Pros & Cons
Pros: Exceptional out-of-the-box value with a quality scope included. The .22-250 caliber offers superb long-range performance for varmints and predators. The lightweight barrel and synthetic stock make for an easy-carrying package. The Foxy Woods camo is both effective and durable. The system is complete and requires no additional purchases to be field-ready.
Cons: The .22-250 Remington has significant report and muzzle blast—hearing protection is mandatory. Barrel life can be shorter than slower cartridges due to high velocities. As a specialized cartridge, ammunition cost is higher than .223 Remington. The lightweight barrel can heat up quickly during sustained fire.
Who This Rifle Is For
This is a specialist’s tool. It’s for the Missouri farmer needing to protect livestock from coyotes across a pasture. It’s for the dedicated varmint hunter who spends weekends scanning bean fields and pastures. It’s for the shooter who understands wind drift and trajectory and wants a cartridge that minimizes both. It is not a general-purpose deer rifle for most states, nor is it a plinker. It’s a purpose-built system for engaging small targets at extended ranges with authority. The package is also a fantastic entry point for a new hunter looking to build long-range shooting fundamentals with a managed-recoil cartridge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope already mounted and bore-sighted?
A: Yes, the Gameking 3.5-10x44mm scope is mounted on the rifle. It will require final zeroing at the range with your chosen ammunition, but it should be on paper at 100 yards right out of the box.
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect from this rifle?
A: The Howa 1500 action has a well-earned reputation for solid out-of-the-box accuracy. With quality .22-250 ammunition, sub-MOA (Minute of Angle) groups are a common and realistic expectation, making it more than capable for precise varmint shooting.
Q: Is the rifle ready to fire when it arrives?
A: All firearms require an FFL transfer. Once you complete the transfer process at your local dealer, the rifle is ready to zero and shoot. Remember, FFL transfer required for firearm purchases when ordering online from firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
If your hunting demands a lightweight, fast-handling rifle with the reach to cleanly take predators and varmints at distance, this Howa package delivers a complete solution. See the full details and make it your go-to rig for the coming season.
