The 25 Creedmoor answers a question serious hunters kept asking: what happens when the 6.5 Creedmoor case gets necked down to .25 caliber? The answer is a fast, flat, wind cheating cartridge that slots neatly between the 6mm and 6.5mm rounds, stabilizing the long, sleek quarter bore bullets the old 25 caliber cartridges were never built around. It has quickly become a favorite of deer and antelope hunters who want more authority than a 6mm without a step up in recoil.Horizon Firearms builds the Venatic Carbon 2 around a Proof Research carbon fiber barrel, 22" long with threads at the muzzle, and SOCOM Black metalwork on both barrel and receiver. A Picatinny rail handles optics, the Arca rail forend locks into tripod heads without adapters, and the iota EKO carbon fiber stock in Ember Drift keeps the whole package light for the miles between the truck and the glassing knob. Horizon came up as a Texas custom shop that treats every rifle like a work order, and this one reads like proof of the habit.
