The Horizon Firearms Venatic DM .300 Winchester Magnum is the company’s lightweight Dedicated Marksman, pairing a Proof Research carbon fiber barrel with a folding magnesium chassis (Horizon part no. HRF-VED-300W-22R). The 22-inch Sendero Light barrel has Lightning fluting, a Black Shadow coating and a 5/8-24 threaded muzzle with a factory Iota SIM muzzle brake. It rides on the skeletonized, hyper-polished DLC Stiller Wombat action inside an XLR Element 4.0 Mg chassis with a Shale Cerakote finish. At about 6 pounds 10 ounces, depending on configuration, it carries far lighter than a steel-barrel chassis rifle. It suits shooters who want stability and adjustability in a hunting-focused precision platform.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .300 Winchester Magnum, a long-range magnum for big game and distance work.
• The barrel is a 22-inch Proof Research carbon fiber Sendero Light contour with Lightning fluting, which cuts weight at the muzzle.
• Rifling twist is 1:8, the rate Horizon lists for the .300 Win Mag Venatic DM.
• The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24, so a brake, suppressor or other 5/8-24 device mounts directly.
• A factory Iota Outdoors SIM muzzle brake is fitted to reduce the magnum’s recoil.
• The action is a Stiller Wombat with a hyper-polished DLC coating, a skeletonized design that keeps weight low.
• The chassis is a folding XLR Element 4.0 Mg magnesium chassis in Shale Cerakote, with an Arca-Swiss dovetail and M-LOK slots in the forend.
• The trigger is a TriggerTech Rough Diamond Flat Shoe, adjustable from 4 to 32 ounces and set at the factory between 1.5 and 2.0 pounds.
• A 20 MOA optic rail is integrated with the Wombat action for added elevation travel.
• The .300 Win Mag uses a CIP-pattern magazine in the integrated bottom metal, sized for the longer cartridge.
