Key Features
- Match-Grade 22″ Barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: The 1:8 twist rate stabilizes heavy 230-grain projectiles, giving you consistent sub-MOA groups at extended ranges without the velocity loss of a longer barrel.
- Hand-Laid Carbon Fiber Stock – WHY IT MATTERS: The rigid, lightweight stock reduces recoil impulse and keeps the rifle under 9 pounds, so you can carry it across rough terrain without fatigue.
- Two-Lug Bolt with 60° Throw – WHY IT MATTERS: The short throw allows fast follow-up shots while maintaining the lock strength needed for high-pressure PRC loads.
- Timney Two-Stage Trigger – WHY IT MATTERS: A crisp, adjustable 2.5-5 lb pull gives you a predictable break every time, reducing shooter error during precision shots.
- Integral 20 MOA Rail – WHY IT MATTERS: The pre-canted rail gives you maximum elevation adjustment for long-range optics without needing a separate base.
Who It’s For
The Vandal Prime is built for the precision rifle competitor, the long-range hunter, and the collector who values a modern classic. If you shoot PRS matches, chase elk across open country, or simply appreciate a rifle that combines 416R steel with carbon fiber craftsmanship, this is your platform. It’s also ideal for the reloader who wants to wring every grain of performance from the 300 PRC case.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the Horizon HRF-VNP-300P-22R Vandal Prime?
The barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, optimized for the 300 PRC cartridge. This stabilizes bullets from 200 to 230 grains, with best results using 225-230 grain match projectiles.
Does the Vandal Prime accept aftermarket triggers?
Yes. The rifle comes with a Timney two-stage trigger, but the action is compatible with most Remington 700-style triggers, including Geissele and TriggerTech models. Drop-in installation is straightforward.
What magazines are compatible with this rifle?
The Vandal Prime uses AICS-pattern magazines in 300 PRC. Horizon recommends the Accurate-Mag 5-round and 10-round steel magazines for reliable feeding.
Is the 22″ barrel long enough for the 300 PRC?
Yes. The 300 PRC is designed to achieve full powder burn in barrels as short as 20″. The 22″ barrel gives a velocity loss of only 30-50 fps compared to a 24″ tube, while saving weight and improving maneuverability.
