Description
You’re glassing a ridgeline at 600 yards. The wind is a factor, the light is fading, and you need a single, precise shot. You need a rifle that’s ready—not just assembled, but purpose-built for the moment. That’s the exact scenario the Howa Kryptek Highlander Full DIP Rifle, 6.5 Creedmoor, 20 MOA Base, Bipod 24″Threaded Barrel, Scope Package is engineered for. It’s a complete, long-range-ready system built on the renowned Howa 1500 action, featuring a full DIP chassis, premium optic, and suppressor-ready barrel, all for a price that makes serious precision accessible.
This isn’t a collection of parts; it’s a cohesive system. The foundation is the legendary Howa 1500 action, known for its smooth bolt operation and crisp, adjustable trigger. It’s housed in a DIP (Diversified Innovative Products) chassis that transforms the platform. The ergonomic pistol grip and fully adjustable stock provide a solid, repeatable weld every time. The 24-inch heavy barrel is threaded 5/8″-24, ready for your muzzle brake or suppressor—no gunsmithing required. Topped with a 20 MOA Picatinny rail, it gives your scope the elevation it needs for extended distances. The package includes a bipod and a capable scope, so you can head to the range or field the same day it arrives. At 9.5 lbs unloaded, it’s a stable platform that manages the 6.5 Creedmoor’s mild recoil superbly.

Pros: The value is undeniable—getting a chassis rifle, optic, and bipod for $742.40 is a significant advantage. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge is flat-shooting and wind-resistant, ideal for medium to long-range work. The threaded barrel and 20 MOA rail mean it’s ready for serious accessories right out of the box. The DIP chassis offers modern ergonomics and stability over a traditional stock.
Cons: At nearly 10 pounds, it’s not a lightweight mountain rifle. The included scope is a good starter, but dedicated long-range shooters may eventually upgrade to higher-magnification glass. The Kryptek Highlander pattern is effective but distinct—it’s not for those seeking a subdued finish.
So who is this for? It’s for the hunter who stretches shots across Missouri crop fields or western draws. It’s for the precision shooter wanting a dependable entry into the chassis rifle world without a four-figure investment. It’s for anyone who needs a rifle that works harder than they do, right from the first shot. This package is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope and bipod quality, or just throw-ins?
A: They are legitimate, functional components. The bipod provides a stable field rest, and the scope is a variable-power model sufficient for range use and hunting at practical distances. It’s a complete working system, though elite competitors may choose to upgrade the optic over time.
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect?
A: The Howa 1500 action and heavy barrel are known for solid sub-MOA potential with quality ammunition. The rigid DIP chassis enhances consistency by fully floating the barrel and providing a stable platform. Many users report excellent results with factory match-grade 6.5 Creedmoor loads.
Q: Are the threads compatible with common suppressors?
A: Yes. The 5/8″-24 thread pitch is the standard for .30 caliber and many 6.5mm muzzle devices and suppressors. It will directly interface with popular models from companies like SilencerCo, Dead Air, and Rugged without needing an adapter.
