Description
You’ve glassed the target at 800 yards. The wind is reading steady, but you know your hold. The question isn’t about your skill—it’s about your rifle. Can it deliver the consistency you need without a custom shop price tag? When the moment hinges on a single, precise shot, you need a platform built for that pressure from the ground up. That’s where a purpose-built kit like this comes in.
The Howa Kryptek Favlos Full DIP Rifle 6.5 Creedmoor MAG Kit, 20 MOA Base, Bipod 24″ Barrel #6, Threaded 5/8″X24 1-8″ is a complete, long-range ready rifle system. It centers on a Howa 1500 barreled action in the flat-shooting 6.5 Creedmoor, housed in a Digital Impact Precision (DIP) chassis with Kryptek Favlos camo. The kit includes a 20 MOA optic rail for extreme elevation and a bipod, making it a turnkey solution for precision shooting right out of the box.
Let’s start with the foundation—the Howa 1500 action. It’s a proven, hammer-forged design known for its smooth operation and solid lockup, a reliable heart for any serious rifle. This one is topped with a 24-inch, heavy-contour barrel threaded 5/8″x24, giving you the option to manage recoil and muzzle rise with a compatible brake or suppressor. The 1:8″ twist rate is the gold standard for 6.5 Creedmoor, stabilizing a wide range of bullet weights for optimal long-range performance. At a total weight around 10-11 lbs before optics, it’s built for stable shooting, not for hiking miles of backcountry.
The real transformation comes from the DIP chassis. This isn’t a traditional stock; it’s a modular platform that provides a rigid bedding system for the action, enhancing inherent accuracy. The integrated AR-style pistol grip and adjustable buttstock allow you to tailor length of pull and cheek weld for a perfect, repeatable fit. The full-length Picatinny rail forend gives you ample real estate for your support hand or attaching accessories. The Kryptek Favlos pattern isn’t just for looks—it provides effective visual breakup in varied terrain. Here’s the thing—this chassis system is drop-in ready, requiring no gunsmithing to install the barreled action, a major advantage for the end user.
This kit understands that long-range work requires a solid interface with the ground. The included bipod provides that immediate, stable front rest for prone or bench shooting. The 20 MOA Picatinny rail base is the critical piece most shooters have to add separately. By canting your optic mount downward, it gives your scope the extra internal elevation adjustment needed to dial in those extreme distances without running out of “up” travel. It’s a simple part that makes a profound difference when your dope calls for 30 MOA of correction.

Pros: Delivers a complete long-range system for under $700. The DIP chassis offers modern ergonomics and stability over a traditional stock. The 20 MOA rail and bipod are essential, value-added inclusions. The 6.5 Creedmoor caliber is manageable and highly effective at distance.
Cons: The full kit weight makes it less ideal for dynamic shooting or extended carry. You still need to budget for a quality optic, rings, and ammunition. The heavy barrel heats up under sustained fire.
This rifle kit is for the shooter who wants to step into precision rifle disciplines without the guesswork of piecing together components. It’s for the hunter setting up on a powerline cut or bean field, where a single, well-placed shot is the goal. It’s also a solid foundation for someone interested in practical long-range matches, as the chassis is compatible with many aftermarket accessories like bag riders and weight systems. At $654.14, it represents a significant value, bundling core upgrades that would cost hundreds more separately. This rifle ships to Missouri and compliant US states through your local FFL.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What kind of scope mount do I need?
A: You’ll need standard Picatinny/Weaver-style scope rings or a one-piece mount to attach your optic to the included 20 MOA rail. Ensure your rings are the correct height for your optic’s objective bell.
Q: Is the magazine detachable?
A: Yes, this kit uses a detachable box magazine. The Howa 1500 action in this configuration is typically compatible with HACT magazines, which are widely available.
Q: Can the bipod be removed or swapped?
A: Absolutely. The bipod attaches to a sling swivel stud or Picatinny rail section on the forend, allowing for easy removal or upgrade to models from brands like Harris or Magpul.
