The Horizon Firearms Vandal DM in .22 Creedmoor (brand part no. HRF-VAD-22CM-22R) is the company’s first chassis rifle, built for precision competition. Horizon Firearms pairs a 22-inch spiral-fluted premium steel barrel, threaded 5/8-24, with a Stiller Hyrax action and an aluminum XLR Element 4.0 chassis. The chassis has an integral ARCA dovetail in the forend and an adjustable stock, and the rail is a 20 MOA. A TriggerTech Primary curved shoe trigger gives a crisp, adjustable break. The 1:8 twist rate suits the .22 Creedmoor cartridge. It is a rifle for shooters who want a ready-to-run precision setup out of the box.
