The Horizon Firearms Vandal DM 25 Creedmoor with a 22-inch barrel is the company’s first chassis rifle, a Dedicated Marksman built for shooters stepping into competition and long-range precision (Horizon part no. HRF-VAD-25CM-22R). This configuration pairs a premium steel Horizon contour barrel in a slate coating with a slate-coated Stiller Hyrax action. The black anodized XLR Element 4.0 chassis adds an adjustable stock, an integrated bubble level and an ARCA-Swiss dovetail in the forend. The barrel is threaded 5/8-24 and wears a factory Iota SIM muzzle brake. Horizon builds every rifle to a 0.5 MOA standard with factory ammunition, so the Vandal DM is as comfortable on the range as it is on a hunt.
