.308 WIN/.338 LAPUA MAGNUM

requirements of military and law enforcement professionals worldwide, under all types of conditions, from the scorching
desert to the Arctic cold.

The APR comes standard with a one
chamber muzzle brake that reduces
the recoil felt by the operator. The in-
geniously designed suppressor can
be mounted on directly on the muzzle brake
to save time in the field. The muzzle brake
is available with or without an emergency flip
up sight.
An optional three chamber muzzle break
is available. It passes less recoil on to the
shooter, which is beneficial if many rounds
are fired subsequently. For this muzzle break
a special lightweight suppressor with QD-
attachment was developed. The suppressor
can be mounted/dismounted in less than 5
seconds.
For customers preferring a Harris bipod,
B&T offers the APR with this as an option. It
is quickly and easily attached to the UIT rail
in the lower fore-end. The UIT-Rail can also
be used to mount specialized shooting
slings.
B&T is proud to partner with Kahles Optics
from Austria as the optics chosen as stand-
ard on the APR. The optic chosen and quali-
fied is the Kahles K624i, a 6 – 24 x 56 with
illuminated reticle. Accessories like lens cov-
ers and kill flash filters are available as well
as different reticles. On customer request
however, any other optic can be mounted.

Trajectory comparison .308 Win vs. .338 LM
The .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge (8.6 x 70 mm) is a combat proven round that is used by virtually all NATO partners and allies as
an excellent alternative to the .50 BMG for long range target interdiction. It processes a much large choice of loads and ogives than the
.50 and .300 Win Mag combined. It offers excellent flight ballistics and powerful terminal ballistics on the target. It can provide head size
accuracy out to 600 meters and penetrate military body armor at ranges up to 1000 meters. Unlike the .50 BMG, the .338 LM round is fully
compliant with the Geneva Convention for use as an anti-personal roll. It is fully NATO codified with many rounds already being available via
the NATO supply system.

Depending on customer desires, the APR be
can delivered in one of three different trans-
port cases. A hard case for aircraft travel,
a hard case for normal transport or a soft
case that can be carried like a backpack.
The latter enables the operator to climb into
elevated shooting positions or to rappel from
a helicopter in order to reach his shooting
position.
This optional version of the right side folding
buttstock folds over the bolt handle and thus
gives the rifle an extra small profile when
transported.
The height adjustable cheek rest and the
height and length adjustable butt plate
provide optimal adaption to the shooter, re-
gardless of the shooting position.
