Precision at extreme distances demands systems engineered from the ground up to perform in unforgiving environments. For tactical teams and serious long-range shooters seeking a factory-built platform capable of repeatable hits beyond 1,000 meters, the right combination of chassis, barrel, and ergonomics matters.

Chassis, Stock, and Ergonomics

The APR338 uses an all-metal lower receiver that doubles as a true chassis, forming the foundation for the upper receiver and providing an unconventional, rigid bedding surface between upper and lower. That chassis-based approach yields enhanced shot-to-shot consistency. The folding stock includes an adjustable butt plate, length-of-pull spacers, and a fully adjustable cheek-rest so the rifle can be tailored to virtually any shooter or mission profile.

Barrel, Muzzle, and Suppressor Integration

The cold hammer-forged, free-floating 27-inch barrel is rated for a 7,000-round service life and finished with a 1:11″ twist optimized for heavy .338 Lapua Magnum projectiles. The factory muzzle brake is rated to reduce felt recoil by roughly 40% and doubles as the mounting surface for B&T’s quick-detach suppressor system—important for follow-up shots and shooter comfort at long ranges.

Bolt, Trigger, and Controls

Operationally the bolt cycles with only 60 degrees of rotation for fast, reliable follow-ups. The trigger is a detachable two-stage module with externally adjustable trigger path and an adjustable pull weight range (manufacturer specs list 3.3 lb to 5.5 lb), allowing users to tune it without full disassembly. Ambidextrous manual safety and a bolt that locks back on an empty magazine are practical, mission-minded features.

Caliber Performance and Use Cases

The .338 Lapua Magnum chambering is purpose-built for precision at 1,000 meters and beyond. It delivers flatter trajectories, retained downrange energy, and consistent performance in both law enforcement and military sniper roles or competitive extreme-range shooting. With a 10-round detachable magazine and a Picatinny rail with 40 MOA, the platform is ready for optics and mission-specific accessories.
