Frequently Asked Questions
What optics are compatible with the Horizon Vandal Prime?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard scope bases, so you can mount most popular rifle scopes using the appropriate rings or one-piece mount. The 25 Creedmoor is a flat-shooting round, so a scope with good elevation range is recommended.
Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
Yes, the barrel is threaded for muzzle devices, including suppressors. The included Iota Sim brake can be removed and replaced with a suppressor-compatible muzzle brake or direct-thread suppressor.
How does the 25 Creedmoor compare to the 6.5 Creedmoor?
The 25 Creedmoor offers slightly less recoil and a flatter trajectory at extended ranges, making it a great choice for competition shooters. It uses a .257 caliber bullet, which has excellent ballistic coefficients.
What is the warranty on the Horizon Vandal Prime?
Horizon Firearms offers a limited lifetime warranty on the action and barrel against defects in materials and workmanship. The stock and other components are covered for one year.
