Apex Predator
The Apex Predator was designed for your hardcore hunters who need match grade precision when it counts. The heart of this rifle comes from our proven Marksman line but with a few modifications. We got with some of our pro staff that are competition predator and hog hunters to get their wants and needs out of a hunting rifle to make them more successful in the field. The feedback we got was some control modifications, different cartridge offerings, suppressor ready, new stock options and a Law Tactical AR Folding Stock Adapter. We removed the Phase 5 Battery assist lever commonly found on our marksman series rifles, to make room in the trigger guard for heavy gloves. In lieu of the phase 5 lever; we will be offering these rifles with Geissele and FCD bolt catches (due to supply chain issues, we will offer both) This will aide in weapon manipulation when the user is wearing the aforementioned winter gloves. The stock options we've selected offer the end user adjust-ability while keeping the rearward weight to a minimum. When you pair these stock options with a Law Tactical Folding stock adapter you get a very compact, robust, and very end user adjustable setup; just unfold and go to work. The Sgt of Arms ARCA Handguard comes standard on this model; we've found that the dovetail across the bottom not only is good for its intended purpose with ARCA-SWISS tripod setups, but also to provide a flat surface to set the rifle on when a tripod mount is not present (IE a sandbag on a deerstand or fence post) Collectively we have been field testing these rifles most of last year, and continue to do so almost weekly. They have preformed flawlessly in the field; successfully harvesting everything from coyotes, hogs, deer and more. We have selected calibers that have a wide selection of fur friendly bullets.
- ARCA Handguard- Made from 6063 T3 Aluminum. This is a one piece free float design with a integrated ARCA on the bottom of the handguard. You can fit up to a 1.5" outside diameter suppressor in the handguard. Has quick disconnect sockets on the front and rear on each side of the handguard. Comes in 15.5" and 17.5" options.
