Horizon Firearms Vandal Prime RF017S222214T19 22" Bolt-Action Rifle

The Horizon Firearms Vandal Prime RF017S222214T19 is a precision bolt-action rifle engineered for long-range accuracy and tactical versatility. Chambered in .222 Remington with a 22-inch barrel, this rifle delivers the consistency demanded by serious marksmen, competitive shooters, and precision-focused operators. The .222 Remington cartridge remains a respected platform for varmint hunting, target competition, and controlled-distance applications where velocity and accuracy matter equally. Built for shooters who value proven design over trend-driven marketing, the Vandal Prime combines classic bolt-action reliability with modern manufacturing standards.

The 22-inch barrel provides an optimal balance between velocity retention and handling characteristics—critical factors in field accuracy and rapid target transitions. At 13.26 lbs, the rifle strikes a practical weight that reduces shooter fatigue during extended shooting sessions while maintaining the mass necessary for recoil management and stable benchrest performance. The bolt-action design eliminates the complexity and maintenance overhead of semi-automatic systems, making field cleaning and component reliability straightforward. This mechanical simplicity translates directly to consistent shot-to-shot performance and minimal point-of-aim shift, even after extended firing cycles. The compact 51-inch overall length makes the Vandal Prime maneuverable in restricted environments and easier to transport than longer precision platforms.

This rifle is ideally suited for precision shooters, small-game hunters, metallic silhouette competitors, and those seeking a dependable platform for sub-MOA accuracy work. The .222 Remington cartridge's minimal recoil impulse allows for faster target reacquisition and reduces shooter-induced error on consecutive shots—essential in competitive environments. Law enforcement and tactical trainers often select rifles in this caliber for precision training, building fundamentals on a forgiving platform before transitioning to larger calibers. Shooters evaluating the Vandal Prime should confirm scope mounting solutions and ammunition availability in their region, as .222 Remington supplies vary by market. Compatible with standard rifle ammunition, cleaning rods, and industry-standard optic mounting systems, this rifle integrates seamlessly into existing shooter workflows.
