The Horizon Firearms Venatic Carbon 2 (brand part no. HRF-VCA-280A-22R) elevates the Venatic platform with a 22-inch Proof Research carbon fiber threaded barrel in SOCOM Black, chambered in .280 Ackley Improved. Horizon Firearms builds it on the polished Stiller Wombat action with a SOCOM Black receiver and Picatinny rail, drops it into a lightweight iota EKO carbon fiber stock in Ember Drift with an ARCA rail forend, and finishes the package with a flush magazine and Horizon’s rough diamond trigger. Among bolt action rifles, the Venatic Carbon 2 favors backcountry hunters who want the weight savings of carbon fiber in barrel and stock alike.
