Horizon Firearms Vandal 2 Core 22 Creedmoor Rifle 18" Barrel - Iota BKS Stock

The Vandal 2 Core Rifle is a modern evolution of a trusted hunting platform, blending traditional sporter-inspired handling with precision-grade components designed for today’s demanding backcountry shooter. Built around the spirit of the original Horizon Vandal, this refined configuration delivers a familiar, confidence-inspiring feel while integrating upgraded performance features for enhanced stability, accuracy, and real-world hunting capability.

Chambered in the highly capable 22 Creedmoor, the Vandal 2 is purpose-built for long-range precision in a lightweight, field-ready package. Its 18" premium steel varmint-contour barrel, finished in Mil-Spec O.D. Green and paired with a 1:8 twist rate, provides excellent stability for modern high-performance projectiles, making it well-suited for extended-range hunting applications.

At its core, the rifle is built on the Stiller Hyrax action, paired with a TriggerTech Primary curved trigger for a crisp, consistent break that enhances shot control in the field. The system is housed in the iota BKS stock with a traditional sporter grip, delivering a classic hunting ergonomics profile updated with modern rigidity and materials. Finished in Timberline texture coating, the stock provides a secure, weather-resistant grip in varied environmental conditions.

A standout upgrade is the integrated ARCA + Picatinny combo rail, offering improved bipod stability and modern accessory mounting flexibility without compromising its traditional hunting character. With a 20 MOA rail for extended elevation capability, the Vandal 2 is optimized for dialing long-range shots with precision optics.
