The Howa Light Short 2 .25 Creedmoor HHSSL25CRTAN-16 is a lightweight, compact bolt-action rifle finished in a durable Tan coating. Chambered in the fast and flat-shooting .25 Creedmoor cartridge with a 16-inch barrel, this rifle is engineered for hunters who need a highly maneuverable firearm without sacrificing accuracy or ballistic performance. Built on Howa’s refined Light Short 2 platform, this model offers an outstanding combination of reduced weight, short overall length, and proven reliability in the field.

The Tan finish provides excellent concealment in arid, desert, and open-country environments, making it a popular choice among hunters who pursue game in dry, sun-exposed terrain. The .25 Creedmoor cartridge delivers impressive velocity, a flat trajectory, and effective terminal performance on medium game such as deer, antelope, and hogs. The compact 16-inch barrel significantly reduces overall length and weight, improving handling during spot-and-stalk hunts, saddle hunts, and in thick brush where a full-length rifle would be cumbersome.
