Long-range precision requires a rifle engineered for stability, repeatable accuracy, and shooter adaptability. For operators and serious precision shooters who need performance beyond typical centerfire cartridges, a purpose-built platform that blends chassis rigidity, a refined action, and user-adjustable ergonomics is essential.

B & T APR338

Overview

The B & T APR338 is a Swiss-made bolt-action rifle developed with input from special forces and police snipers for accurate performance at ranges beyond 1,000 meters. Priced at $12,399.99, the APR338 pairs a robust all-metal lower receiver chassis with a precision upper assembly to create an unconventional and stable bedding surface that improves repeatability shot after shot.

Design and Key Features

Chassis and Receiver

The APR338’s all-metal lower acts as a chassis, housing the upper receiver and providing an unconventional contact surface between upper and lower for more consistent bedding. The upper contains the bolt group, fire control, and the 27-inch cold hammer-forged barrel (service life ~7,000 rounds).

Action, Trigger, and Controls

Cycling is notably smooth: the bolt requires only a 60° rotation for faster follow-up shots, and the bolt locks open on an empty magazine. The detachable trigger module features a two-stage trigger adjustable for pull weight (described at 3–5 lbs in the product description; specifications also list 3.3–5.5 lb), and the trigger path can be externally tuned without disassembly. Ambidextrous manual safety and a 10-round detachable magazine are standard.

Ergonomics and Ballistics

The folding adjustable stock includes an adjustable butt plate, length-of-pull spacers, and a fully adjustable cheek rest, allowing the APR338 to be tailored to a wide range of shooters and optics setups. The rifle ships with a factory muzzle brake that reduces felt recoil by 40% and doubles as the mounting point for B&T’s quick-detach sound suppressor. Chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum, the APR338 delivers long-range energy and wind-bucking performance favored for precision engagement and anti-personnel/limited material tasks at extended distances.
