So, I killed many animals with the first APR build and though this rifle shoots absolutely brilliantly......it was a tad heavy to carry for long hikes which I realized last year I love to do. As a result, I called and asked if they could build me a second one but lighter.
Obviously they said yes and so I picked the colors and sat and waited. Got the rifle in and when I went to get it from my ffl his words were “that’s so light it’s going to kick like a mule” and laughed. I said no, I didn’t believe he was correct in his assumption but as a female......I’m used to arrogant men telling me “about life”.
Well, I have to admit when I squeezed the first round off I had his words in my mind and shouldered much tighter than I would have normally. This beauty, for anyone looking at building a light weight EXTREMELY accurate rifle, is flawless. I was right and he was very wrong (as usual).
I shot sub moa with Berger 140’s, 156’s and Hornady 143’s. I started at 50 yards and worked through the first 6 rounds with ease. I don’t believe it “kicked” anymore than my first build. I ran 15 rounds down and settled at 100 yards. I was too lazy to go get my target but I’ll shoot more next week and post some photos.
Thank you to Robert and the team at Alamo Precision Rifles for another work of art that’s sure to get packed plenty of miles and bring home lots of game.
