Franchi Horizon Varmint

Born in the USA for pest-hunting, the varminting rifle has several possible variations, extending beyond just the realm of hunting. Horizon Varmint Black Synt belongs to the varminter/long range category, ensuring excellent ballistic accuracy even at long range. With blued barrel and action, Horizon Varmint Black Synt is offered in .308 WIN caliber (twist rate 11") and .223 REM (twist rate 9"). The .308 WIN caliber, is not a standard choice for a varmint rifle but very much suitable for bullets ranging from 150 to 180 grains and their use at the shooting range, while the caliber .223 REM allows the use of less heavy ammunition closer to the type of pure varminter. . The fluted profile, of this varminting model, with fluted barrels allows the bolt action center of gravity to be retracted, in addition to giving the rifle its attractive style. The result is a varmint rifle with a perfectly distributed and balanced weight. The Relia Trigger trigger is clean and sharp, with an adjustable weight from 0.8 to 1.9 kg, and helps to increase its ballistic accuracy, which as with all Horizon is tested to guarantee 1 MOA out of three shots fired.

The Horizon Varmint butt features a standard medium comb, which promotes the ideal neck and head position, even in the event of repeated shots during shooting range sessions.

The aiming height can be adjusted for the best shooting position by mounting the optional combs low or high. Horizon Varmint has a two-position safety, with free bolt, and 2 single-wire magazines in technopolymer, specially designed to facilitate insertion of the cartridge into the chamber. Dependa Bolt bolting system offers three locking fins with 60 opening, nickel-plated, fluted body, streamlined conical bolt handle and easy disassembly for routine maintenance. Horizon Varmint Black Synt has mounted muzzle brake and rail. Like every bolt action rifle, this Varmint hunting one has a 7 year warranty on its mechanical parts and is delivered with a 1 MOA out of three shots fired accuracy certificate.
