Description
I was looking for a long-range rifle that didn’t require a second mortgage and a trip to a gunsmith just to get on paper. That’s when I got my hands on the Howa Kryptek Favlos Full DIP Rifle 6mm Creedmoor MAG Kit, 20 MOA Base, Bipod 24″ Barrel #6, Threaded 5/8″X24 1-8″. It’s a complete, ready-to-shoot precision package built on the proven Howa 1500 action, dressed in a full DIP chassis with Kryptek camo, and chambered in the flat-shooting 6mm Creedmoor. For $668.58, it’s a turn-key solution for hunters and target shooters who want serious capability without the serious assembly hassle.
Here’s the thing—most “ready-to-go” rifles still need you to source a base, rings, and often a bipod. This kit eliminates that. The 20 MOA Picatinny rail is already mounted, giving you the cant needed for stretching out your 6mm Creedmoor rounds. The included bipod screws right into the chassis’s integrated mount. I’ve put a few boxes of Hornady 108gr ELD-Match through my test model, and from the bench, it was consistently ringing steel at 600 yards. The system is drop-in ready; you mount your preferred optic, load the detachable magazine, and you’re in business. No gunsmithing required to get this rig running, which is a huge plus for the DIY shooter.
The heart of the package is the Howa 1500 action, known for its smooth bolt and solid, three-lug design. It’s housed in a DIP Inc. chassis that completely replaces the traditional stock. This isn’t a bedding block—it’s a full aluminum chassis that provides a rigid, stable platform for the barrel. The 24-inch, heavy-contour barrel is threaded 5/8″x24, so adding a muzzle brake or suppressor is straightforward. The 1:8″ twist rate is ideal for stabilizing the heavier, high-BC bullets that make 6mm Creedmoor so effective at distance. Weighing in at roughly 9.5 pounds before optics, it’s substantial enough to be steady off the bipod but still manageable for a patient hunter.
| Caliber | 6mm Creedmoor |

| Action | Howa 1500, 3-Lug Bolt |

Pros: The value is undeniable. You get a chassis rifle, optic rail, and bipod for less than many bare rifles. The 6mm Creedmoor chambering is modern and highly capable for both precision shooting and medium-game hunting. The setup is genuinely ready to go—just add glass. Cons: The included bipod is functional but basic; serious long-range shooters will likely upgrade. The chassis, while rigid, adds weight compared to a traditional stock, which might matter for backcountry hunting.
So who is this for? It’s perfect for the shooter who understands the benefits of a chassis system and wants to step into long-range shooting or hunting without piecing together components. It’s also a fantastic choice for a Missouri whitetail hunter who hunts fields or powerlines and wants to make ethical, longer shots. The rifle is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of magazines does it use?
A: It uses a detachable, single-stack magazine that follows the popular AICS pattern. This is a huge advantage, as AICS-pattern mags are widely available from numerous manufacturers like Magpul and Accurate Mag.
Q: Is the barrel threaded for a muzzle device?
A: Yes. The 24″ barrel comes from the factory with a 5/8″x24 thread pitch, which is the standard for many .30 caliber muzzle brakes and suppressors. It’s ready for your preferred recoil or sound management device.
Q: What scope base is included?
A: The kit includes a 20 MOA Picatinny rail base. This angled base effectively gives your scope more internal elevation adjustment, which is crucial for engaging targets at very long ranges where the 6mm Creedmoor excels.
If you’re ready for a complete precision package that gets you from the box to the bench with minimal fuss, this Howa Kryptek Favlos kit deserves a close look.
