In this case we are faced with a particular short barrel rifle that is different from the one we are used to.
At first glance, in fact, you can immediately notice the great originality of this firearm, which is inspired by the American Scout Rifles, firearms that are comfortable in multiple situations of the hunting environment.
Its main characteristics are compactness – it has a 46 cm / 18” free-floating short barrel and a total length of the firearm of 1012 mm – and portability, which allows great ease of movement in hunting situations that require speed of movement, also thanks to the quick-detach connections positioned on the stock.
Everything has been carefully designed to make this short barrel rifle dynamic and equipped with high precision. In fact, like all Franchi bolt action rifles, Horizon All Terrain is also delivered with a certificate of accuracy of 1 M.O.A. on three shots fired.
From the desert of sand to the desert of ice, passing through the temperate climate to the great rains, Horizon All Terrain gives its best in every environmental condition.
If we were to find a phrase to further describe this firearm, we could say, “Not just hunting.”
THE HORIZON ALL TERRAIN IS A SHORT BARREL RIFLE WITH GOOD BALLISTIC ACCURACY EVEN AT THE SHOOTING RANGE.
Coming to one of the fundamental and most beloved themes to hunters and shooters, namely the calibers for bolt action rifles, the Horizon All Terrain is counted as 308 bolt action (11” twist rate) and 223 bolt action rifle (9” twist rate), in both models in which it was presented.
The .308 Winchester caliber is very versatile, suitable for practically any type of hunting, from wild boar to roe deer hunting, while the .223 Remington caliber is a little more specialized.
Small ammunition born in the United States in the late 1950s, the .223 Remington has great speed, precision and low recoil and is considered a medium range varmint cartridge, particularly suitable for hunting smaller game and, like all calibers, for use at the shooting range.
Hunting is a great passion. For this reason, even in the field of firearms, like everything that has to do with what moves the human soul, the eye always count.
Everyone has experienced that particular excitement that you feel when entering the armory, ready to choose the ally that will give you beautiful experiences. A tingling in the pit of the stomach.
When you are there, with your shotguns or rifles lined up in front of you and stored silently on the rack, your eyes go through the different models and, at some point, you see it and you already know that it will be the right one for you, because each firearm reflects the personality of the person who uses it.
For this reason, on an aesthetic level Horizon All Terrain offers the possibility to choose between two very different styles.
THE AIMING SIGHT ARE ANOTHER PECULIARITY OF THIS SHORT BARREL RIFLE..
On both sets we find the Flip Up sights that can be folded and are made from an exclusive Franchi project: a two-position rear sight at the root of the long floating Picatinny rail (the rail does not touch the barrel) and a two-position sights.
This configuration has a dual purpose in relation to the intended use: on the one hand it allows the rapid acquisition of shots at a short distance, reducing the time of aiming; on the other hand, it also allows the meditated shot (ghost sight) at a greater distance and can also be used on moving targets.
Designed based on the Evolved Ergonom-X ergonomic development platform, the Horizon All Terrain is a short barrel rifle designed to facilitate movement and field use, one of which involves gripping.
The stock pistol is equipped with an interchangeable checkered grip to make the grip firmer and suitable for different situations of use. The larger, vertically inclined Varmint grip is also available.
The stock is equipped with interchangeable TSA recoil pad and interchangeable comb, standard medium.
The trigger pull is adjustable from 0.8 to 1.9 kg and the rifle has a 7-year warranty on mechanical parts.
Compact, versatile, original. Horizon All Terrain has whatever it takes to become the wild card of every hunter.
