Another new action?

[wrecklessranch]

Looks like the list of budget actions keeps growing:

[PinesAndProjectiles]

Lots of good options out there for guys looking at their first full custom rifle.

I appreciate the ability to use prefit barrels.

Their logo could use some work.

Not sure why anyone would choose this over the Bighorn Origin.

APR uses a lot of Curtis actions. Im thinking this was speced by APR and made for them by Curtis. Also, APR/Curtis have some of the top PRS shooters. Had I not just got an Impact, I would really consider this.

+1, same with deadline action, loved it until I saw the left side of the action, if only they left out the "deadline" graphic I'd be all over it.

It was made for APR by Thompson Leh, not Curtis. https://www.thompsonleh.com

Same as the first APR action that came out a few months ago.

I wouldn't put too much stock into what the top PRS shooters use. They jump around between manufacturers like a sex addict at a whorehouse.

 

[BoilerUP]

Another option in the $1k or less custom action marketplace is NEVER a bad thing.

 

[Sutherlandsd]

I think this thing looks good. One thing it has over the origin is dlc coating. Would I buy it over the origin? Options are nice.

Mostly referring to APR reputation. Never heard a bad thing about them.

What other options fall into this price point?

 

[Bandit31]

What other options fall into this price point?

Bighorn Origin, Defiance Tenacity, Gunwerks GRB, Kelblys Atlas are close to it now I believe also.

 

[Sogan]

The fonts pretty weird on this one. Not to mention BIG. Nothing wrong with more lower end custom options

ARC Nucleus also.

 

[b6graham]

90 degree.
CRF
Manual eject
DLC
tool less fire control removal

shiiiiit. still waiting on a bighorn origin long action but a long action magnum for $750 is hard to turn down

 

[Bandit31]

ARC Nucleus also.

Didn't include it because it is $100-150+ more than all the others closely priced to the APR action. For actions $1k or less there's considerably more.

 

[atomic41]

All that and a preorder price of $750! Dang, it is an awesome time to be into bolt guns.

One would think they would see the demand for a long action.

 

[BIPMaster]

That APR G2 is calling my name for $750.

 

[RunninRebel]

This definitely looks nice considering I'm looking for a long action magnum. There doesnt seem to be a lot available in that configuration with the less expensive custom actions.

 

[BIPMaster]

For the intro price the APR G2, especially since it is DLC, was too good to pass up. Spoke with the guys at APR and they assured me it is titties, so went ahead and ordered it. Looking forward to getting this thing built.

 

[rookie7]

Anyone have hands on and shooting with one of these yet?

 

[702lineman]

No love for the lefties???

 

[nmsheephunter]

Waiting on mine.

 

[skeetlee]

the origin is the clear winner here. controlled round feed is the only way to go in my opinion. i have a brand new nucleus i would trade for an origin if anyways wants to swap. i never should have sold all mine. lee gardner precision

 

[LiveToDrive]

The APR G2 is controlled round feed also.

 

[Kickin45]

I’m not sure I’d call $850 ‘budget’. At that price I’d rather spend the extra $100 and buy a Nucleus.
Budget to me would be a PTG $629 or something even cheaper.
It’s great to see more and more actions hit the market. Competition is good for the end user

what makes the nucleus worth $150 more?

also...the nucleus was kind of the first popular 'budget' action

 

[Kickin45]

Reputation, tried and true, resale value, etc etc

 

[northshorelumber]

Are these in the field and can anyone provide a real world report?

 

[b6graham]

Reputation, tried and true, resale value, etc etc

Because no one is having a single issue with a Nucleus...if they're lucky enough to have them a year later

 

[nmsheephunter]

Have mine, it is a nice action.

 

[jeredharlan]

just a heads up, if you havent threadlocked the scope base screws you may want to

just be careful with torque numbers with wet threads...
