Description
The APR338 is a perfect example of the refined craftsmanship and Swiss-made precision that B&T is famous for, and was developed with input from both special forces and police snipers to create a rifle with extreme accuracy at ranges over 1000 meters. The APR338’s all-metal lower receiver essentially serves as a chassis to which all other components of the rifle are assembled or attached. This chassis also houses the upper receiver, and the contact surface between the upper and lower receiver serves as an unconventional bedding surface. The upper receiver itself is composed of the barrel, fire control group, and bolt group. Cycling the bolt is remarkably smooth and only requires 60 degrees of rotation, allowing for faster follow-up shots. The trigger group on the other hand is part of a detachable module, featuring a two-stage trigger which can be adjusted for pull weight (3lbs – 5lbs) as well as a trigger path that can be externally adjusted without disassembly.
For greater accuracy and user adaptability, the ARP308 is equipped with a folding stock with an adjustable butt plate and length-of-pull spacer system, as well as a fully adjustable cheek-rest. The stock’s ability to be modified allows the APR338 to be adapted to virtually any shooter. In addition, the APR338’s barrel is free floating and cold hammer forged with a service life of 7000 rounds. The barrel also comes equipped with a factory provided muzzle brake, which is rated to reduce recoil by 40% and serves as the mounting point for B&T quick-detach sound suppressor.
