What is the Vandal Carbon 2 best suited for?

The Vandal Carbon 2 is best suited for hunters who want to minimize weight without sacrificing performance, making it an excellent choice for backcountry and high-mobility applications where every ounce matters.

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 Carbon 2 use, and what capacities are supported?

The Vandal Carbon 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.
