The Horizon Firearms Vandal Prime 2 .22 Creedmoor is a versatile bolt-action hunting rifle (brand part no. HRF-VP2-22CM-22R). It is chambered for the .22 Creedmoor and fitted for varmint and light big-game work. It pairs a 22-inch chevron-fluted premium steel barrel, threaded 5/8-24 and fitted with a SIM muzzle brake, with the Stiller Hyrax action. The Iota BKH carbon stock has a flat forend, negative comb and vertical grip that suit both prone precision and stalking. A TriggerTech Primary Curved Shoe trigger and a 20 MOA optic rail come installed. For a hunter who wants one rifle for both patient shots and long walks, this Horizon Firearms build is a strong fit.
