High-performance precision rifles in .308 are used where long-range accuracy, terminal energy, and reliable suppression compatibility matter. For operators, competition shooters, and serious owners seeking a rugged, modular platform, this B&T APC308 represents a unique blend of engineering and adaptability built around the rifle-caliber paradigm.

B&T APC308 is an upscaled, rifle-caliber iteration of B&T’s well-regarded APC9 platform. It retains the monolithic upper receiver, hydraulic buffer system, and fully ambidextrous controls while expanding to accept .308 Winchester / 7.62×51 NATO rounds. This limited edition model pairs a 14.5-inch barrel with a pinned Surefire muzzle brake, an aluminum lower, B&T MBT stock, and an Elftmann Match Pro trigger unit, all at a retail price of $3599.99.

Design and key features

The APC308’s monolithic upper receiver creates a rigid, repeatable platform for optics and rail-mounted accessories, reducing point-of-impact shift when adding devices. The hydraulic buffer system dampens recoil impulse in a compact package—especially important with .308-level energy in a short-barrel setup. Fully ambidextrous controls make transitions and handling intuitive for both hands, which is vital for tactical teams and competitive shooters.

Adjustable gas system: the regulator allows tuning for suppressed or unsuppressed operation, letting you dial gas pressure for reliable cycling and reduced wear when using a suppressor. The Elftmann Match Pro trigger improves shot control and follow-through compared to mil-spec triggers, aiding precision in rapid or deliberate fire.

Ballistics and applications

The platform’s intent is clear: a large-frame rifle designed for .308/7.62×51 delivers effective performance in mid- to long-range roles, hunting, and precision tactical scenarios. The 14.5-inch barrel with a pinned Surefire muzzle brake balances compactness with acceptable velocity and recoil management—trade-offs that favor mobility without surrendering the .308’s terminal performance. For shooters who need a semi auto in the Semi Auto category that handles heavy bullets cleanly, the APC308 is engineered to do just that.

Why B&T and this model stand out

B&T is notable for quality engineering and innovation in compact, high-performance platforms. The APC308 leverages that pedigree with a purpose-built transition from pistol-caliber carbine to full rifle calibers. Details like the aluminum lower for reduced weight and a match-grade trigger show attention to both durability and accuracy.

For operators and enthusiasts who want a compact .308 semi auto with professional-grade features, the APC308 delivers a thoughtfully engineered package. Check current availability or purchase directly through the shop—click the link below to move from evaluation to acquisition.
