APR Ranger

[C-grunt]

My Alamo Precision Rifles Ranger came home today. Total build time was 26 weeks due to Covid related supply issues from Mullerworks Barrels. The rifle looks and feels amazing. 308 reloading components are still ahrd to find and the only 308 match Ive seen locally is the Winchester 118LR for 70 dollars a box... no thank you. So it might be a while until I can really break her in and see how she shoots.

Good looking rifle.

Really like it! Can't wait to hear how it shoots. BTW Unknown Munitions has 308 ammo. A bit expensive but good stuff

Fine looking weapon. I bought some 155 TMK’s and 175 SMK Cartridges for a very reasonable price from Freedom Munitions. FYI

Nice rifle, I like your choice of scope as well.

Congrats.

I was looking at several offerings in the price range. I had some time on a 7-35 and a 3.6-18 before and they were great. Also looked at the NX8 real hard. But truthfully what sold me on the Leupold was the aesthetics of it. It's just a sexy scope. Hahaha.

Got the rifle out to the range yesterday with some Federal Gold Medal Match 168 grain. Started off shooting okay but I had vertical spreading that I just couldnt figure out. Shots felt good. Here are a couple groups that show what Im talking about.

After burning through a box of ammo I had a "hey idiot" moment and realized I needed to use a more refined point of aim. I ran out of my older target that has a very small x in the bullseye so I picked up this target on the way to the range. Once I started using a better aiming point the rifle started printing sub half MOA groups like it should.

Overall I am really pleased with this rifle. It is quickly becoming my favorite rifle, even over my AI. Though I must say the extra weight of the AI does make it significantly easier to shoot groups with.

Great shooting! I see the same type of groups with my APR Maverick in 6.5PRC. right now I have APR assembling a rifle for me. I sent them a Defiance Ruckus XM action with a Proof barrel, Trigger Tech Special trigger, APA Little Bastard brake and Hawkins DBM bottom metal. They are ordering a AG Composites Alpine Hunter stock and then will do the final completion of it all. Gonna be about 8-10 weeks until the stock comes in. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
