I built a rifle like this for myself and everyone fell completely in love with it including me. It went over so well I decided to make it a standard model. With a little Georgia twang built into the name I'm happy to introduce the "Critter Get'r".

Nice stick.... what caliber choices are there? Any with a heavy contour barrel?

Re: APA's new hunting rifle
That one is a 284. I will offer it in just about anything but the main calibers will be
300 WM
284
7-08
308
243
223
I'll follow this up with more info shortly. I'm still running the CNC's at the moment.

Re: APA's new hunting rifle
Nicely Done; I would just need an adjustable cheek on my stock. Keep up the good work.

Re: APA's new hunting rifle
She weighs in right at 8 lbs. as is. I can make it lighter but I've been there before and didn't care for it. 5.5 lbs magnums test my patience at the range and aren't fun in the field. I believe it's perfect where it is.
As far as the price point goes. I'm working on that. The big determining factor is break in.

Is the Vais brake a little easier on the ears than the Little Bastard? Just wondering the reason for going with that one.

Re: APA's new hunting rifle
I don't think any of them are easy on the ears but currently we don't make one that small. Of got it in the works but it's not ready yet.

Re: APA's new hunting rifle
Darrel Holland makes 2. This one and a slightly different version with an adjustable cheek. Personally I don't care for the other stock that much but this one is awesome. The Cheek piece is very pronounced similar to a Montecarlo style. The grip is a smaller and more defined version of the Sako 75. I liked it so much I designed my Mannlicher for Africa around it.
