Horizon Firearms RF099L221814T24 Core Sports South Exclusive 22 Creedmoor 5+1 18" Fluted Threaded Barrel, Stainless Steel Receiver, Iota EKO Carbon Fiber Stock

The Horizon Firearms RF099L221814T24 Core is a precision rifle engineered for long-range accuracy in the 22 Creedmoor caliber. This Sports South exclusive combines a fluted threaded 18-inch stainless steel barrel with a stainless steel receiver, delivering the velocity and consistency demanded in target shooting and field applications. The 5+1 capacity supports extended shooting sessions while maintaining practical reload discipline. At 12.86 lbs, the rifle balances controlability with the mass needed to manage recoil impulse and support sustained accuracy.

The 22 Creedmoor cartridge is optimized for mid-range precision work, offering flatter trajectories and lower wind drift than larger calibers while maintaining sufficient velocity for ethical hunting at extended distances. The fluted barrel reduces overall weight without sacrificing rigidity, while the threaded muzzle accommodates suppressors or muzzle devices. The Iota EKO carbon fiber stock provides a lightweight platform with the structural integrity required for precision shooting, reducing system weight and improving handling. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in demanding environments, critical for rifles exposed to weather or stored long-term.

This rifle serves precision-focused shooters evaluating 22 Creedmoor rifles for competitive target work, long-range field shooting, or specialized hunting applications. The 18-inch barrel length balances velocity retention with overall handling, while the threaded configuration allows shooters to adapt to sound management or muzzle control preferences. The combination of fluted design and carbon fiber furniture targets operators seeking sub-13 lb platforms without compromising structural precision. The 5+1 configuration reflects practical magazine discipline rather than high-capacity design.
