The 2020 TBH/APR Special Planning Thread
I’ll be on the fence pending components for a lightweight build but do think that if there is limited slots there needs to a member requirement and not someone whose first post was in this thread lol! But as stated earlier, it’s Robert’s business to run as he see fit.

Put me down as a -1 in the ultralight category. The cost is prohibitive and the finicky nature of the components and load tuning makes this a pass. It should also be a pass for anyone not reloading. If anything bc I don’t wanna see a 2020 thread filled with “my APR gun won’t shoot”.
I’d really love to see a CLASSIC hunting rifle with a modern twist of all the finer touches and tricks that APR has up their sleeves. Maybe a base model “BDL” and then the fancy version as the “CDL”. Blued or stainless cerakote or maybe case hardening.
Stock: big run of McMillan McWoody and McWalnut and some of the edge fill brown w/ black speck. Use the APR, classic and maybe HTG styles. Stick to ADL or BDL inlet, no DBM, option for a RED butt pad.
Action: Defiance LA/SA with that sexy “blued” cerakote or a fancy version with case hardening. Fluting or jewelling options.
Barrel: APR contour so it can be threaded and blended protector w/ a radial or gill brake OR A lighter 2b contour for non-threaded. . Modern twist rates to update that “classic” hunting rifle. Maybe the upgrade version runs a Proof Sendero Lite or a Bartlein/Kreiger/etc.
Choice of fluting.
Other: need thoughts on a rail offering or quality two piece rings like the Hawkins hybrids. Maybe an option for Wyatt’s boxes for the long cartridges.

Nothing represents a classic better than highly figured wood and deep polished bluing. But nothing holds up to real world punishment better than good synthetics, modern ceramic coatings and stainless steel. The APR Classic Hunter captures all of these elements in a modern precision hunting rifle package while still gi
