FAQs

What is the Vandal 2 best suited for?

The Vandal 2 is best suited for serious hunters and precision shooters who want a lightweight, field-ready rifle that maintains repeatable accuracy at extended distances. It excels as a versatile crossover platform for western big game, whitetail, and practical long-range use.

What level of real-world accuracy can shooters expect with factory ammunition?

Horizon Firearms builds all of our rifles to achieve a standard of 0.5 MOA when using factory ammunition. For best results, we recommend testing rifle accuracy from a stable shooting platform.

What magazine pattern does the Vandal 2 use, and what capacities are supported?

The Vandal 2 ships with and uses AICS-pattern magazines installed in the rifle’s integrated bottom metal. It typically ships with a 5-round AICS magazine, and will also accept common AICS magazines from brands like Amend2 and others built to the AICS specification.

What trigger characteristics should I expect out of the box?

We set the TriggerTech Primary Curved Shoe trigger from our factory between 2.0 - 2.8 lbs, but it can be adjusted for 1.5 - 4.0 lbs.

What optic mounting solution is integrated into the Vandal 2?

The Vandal 2 is equipped with a 20 MOA Stiller Actions Picatinny rail installed from the factory. Depending on cartridge selection, the rifle is built on the Stiller Hyrax short- or long-action platform, so the rail corresponds to the appropriate action length.

What stock color and finish does the Vandal 2 come with?

The Vandal 2 features the Iota BKH Carbon stock finished in Horizon’s Timberline coating, a textured finish blending tan, O.D. green, and gray tones for a distinctive and durable look. The barrel and action are also coated in a Mil Spec O.D. Green finish.
