Lightweight, accurate bolt-action rifles change the equation for long approaches and all-day glassing in the backcountry. When weight, balance, and repeatable precision matter, a modern carbon-fiber platform can make the difference between a comfortable hunt and a taxing one.

HORIZON FIREARMS VANDAL CARBON II is the newest, lightest evolution in the Vandal series, purpose-built for adventurous backcountry pursuits. This optic-ready rifle pairs a premium fluted carbon fiber barrel with a striking carbon fiber stock to deliver a remarkably agile platform that doesn’t sacrifice accuracy. The rifle ships with a Picatinny rail for straightforward scope mounting, a 5/8×24 TPI muzzle brake, one 5-round magazine, and original accessories. Certified Used options are available, backed by a ‘no questions asked’ return policy. Shop this product

Design and Key Features

The Vandal Carbon II stands out as a lightweight Bolt Action platform from Horizon Firearms. Its fluted carbon fiber barrel reduces overall mass while maintaining rigidity and improving heat dispersion during extended strings of fire. The carbon fiber stock contributes to an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and provides ergonomic points for a steady cheek weld and consistent trigger placement.

Performance and On‑Range Benefits

Fluting on a carbon barrel helps preserve barrel harmonic consistency while cutting weight—valuable for glassing-and-glacier-style hunts. The Picatinny rail makes the rifle optic-ready out of the box, and the 5/8×24 TPI muzzle brake allows for easy attachment of muzzle devices or suppressors compatible with that thread pitch. The included 5-round magazine and original accessories get you to the range or the ridge without delay. Price is $3,199.99 for this Certified Used offering, representing a high-value option for shooters chasing a premium light rifle. View product details and pricing

Horizon Firearms has tuned the Vandal series for modern shooters; this model is notable for being the lightest in the lineup while retaining features hunters demand.
