Horizon Firearms RF010A501614C18 Venatic Carbon 7mm Back Country 16" Fluted Threaded Barrel, Drilled & Tapped Receiver, Arca Rail Forend, Iota EKO Carbon Fiber Stock

The Horizon Firearms RF010A501614C18 Venatic Carbon 7mm Backcountry Rifle is a purpose-built precision rifle engineered for extreme backcountry hunting where weight and accuracy are mission-critical. Featuring a 16-inch fluted threaded barrel in 7mm caliber paired with a Stiller Wombat action, this rifle delivers long-range performance in an ultra-lightweight package designed specifically for hunters who cover significant vertical terrain without sacrificing ballistic capability.

The fluted carbon barrel reduces rotational inertia and weight while maintaining structural rigidity necessary for precision shooting. A drilled and tapped receiver accepts standard scope mounting systems, enabling flexible optic configurations for varying engagement distances. The Arca-Swiss rail forend provides modern accessory compatibility and a consistent platform for bipod mounting during field operations. The Iota EKO carbon fiber stock is specifically inletted to this platform with internal geometry optimized for the Venatic Carbon, featuring thumb detents for secure grip control and extended length-of-pull suited to tactical shooting positions and cold-weather layering. At 11.96 lbs, the complete rifle balances capability with portability—critical for extended hunts where every pound impacts endurance.

This rifle targets serious long-range hunters pursuing game across demanding alpine and backcountry terrain where pack weight directly affects hunter success and safety. The 7mm caliber delivers sufficient energy retention at extended ranges while the short 16-inch barrel maintains velocity necessary for ethical shot placement. Threaded barrel compatibility enables suppressor integration for hearing protection and recoil reduction during remote fieldwork. The combination of premium components—Stiller action, carbon construction, and purpose-built stock—positions this rifle for hunters who demand precision reliability in environments where resupply and support are unavailable.
