Any suggestions on bi-pod mounting for this rifle? Arca-Swiss, 1913 or just live with a sling stud mount? It seems like the first m-lok hole is not very far forward due to the sling stud location. Thoughts?
Maybe one of these: BT17: 4" 1913 Rail
When does the APO Saber M700 Saber Snipers Hide Edition Arca Spigot come out?

When mine comes I am going to add a 9" Rail to it, the MLOK has enough purchase and you can probably thread a screw into the Stud hole for that little extra
I think the HRD Gear model (Sold at MHSA so local for me) has enough room to add it how you see fit

I like this idea and conviently MHSA is local-ish also! Any reason the 9” over the 11”? I got this pick from buddies rifle, same handguard I believe. I was thinking i might have to drill one extra hole toward the chamber end since the mlok holes dont go that far back. This would give more room for baricade stops was my thought.
Either or, when I get there with the rifle I will look and choose one.
9 or 11, whichever gives me the best coverage

it's like a drug....it just calls my name everytime everytime everytime.
it's like a drug....it just calls my name everytime everytime everytime. One idea for a longer Arca / RRS spec rail:
Area 419 14" universal rail. The hole with the paint missing on the right is the sling stud. It looks like you can hit that plus 3 MLOKs and only have to drill 1 or 2 rear holes. The hole in the barricade stop is not usable as it overlaps on the interface between the rail and the frame.
Note: The rifle below is a standard Saber M700 not the SH edition. I can't confirm the hand guard will be the same length and have the same holes.
Additional Note: Magpul MLOK screw heads are too big to fit in the universal channel however Area 419 does sell a kit with screws that do fit and MLOK nuts you can order with it.

Any of these bad boys make it out to the wild yet?
FYI,
I spoke to Shannon Kay from the PRS about this being accepted as a production model rifle and he sent me this:
this should allow the rifle to be used in the production class

Nice write up.
They offer .223 as part of an upgrade package, but it adds a buch of $$$.
Don’t I know it!
Hey guys this is Matt with APO and i wanted to give you guys some updates. With APO's Sniper's Hide Special Edition rifles starting to roll out of production I thought we'd share a couple of test targets from standard rifle barreled action in 6.5 Creedmoor. Note that these are 5-shot Sub-MOA groups with less than a box of Hornady factory ammo down the bore! With good continued barrel break-in by the customer these rifles will produce mighty fine groups!

APO does offer a couple of different options for a training rifles in 5.56/.223 Please give the shop a call 434.296.8600 or feel free to email the sales team, we will be happy to get you info on what your looking for.
Looking good! Welcome to the Hide, i knew it was only a matter of time before you guys turned up here!
I've ordered one for me. Probably would not have if I hadn't gone there to shoot some of their rifles. I rang an eight inch steele plate several times at 1k with the one they provided for the event.
Yes we are working on that as i type this.. I shoud have pictures later this week
anybody with a Range Report?
Hey guys just a quick update that first few rifles ordered are shipping out first of next week to there new homes! I have also seen some questions about which Trigger Tech trigger was spec'd. Sniper's Hide Special Edition SABER M700 ERT Precision Rifles come standard with Trigger Tech's "Primary Trigger" set to a crisp clean 3 pound pull weight. They are nice!

Is there flexibility in selecting a flat vs curved trigger without incurring a significant additional expense?
“Chainsaws” don’t electrical cords, i think that must be an electric razor.
They also do gas powered.

Very nice! Still new to this skill, and I am trying to sort out what works. Good to know that Frank has put together a system that is based on all his expertise. I'll be jumping on this... would save me a lot of money I think.

APO Posted an update today on FB
With included test targets

Does anyone know what the lead time is on one? I have a class at MH with Frank the end of July and would like to take a bolt gun instead of my JP!!
It should be ready in time, I think they say from a stone cold order it's 4 weeks.
Just put my order in.
Standard package, 6.5 Creedmoor, changed out the brake for the one that will mount my suppressor.
Amazing customer service. A true pleasure dealing with this company. I believe I spoke with Mr. David Myles - great guy!
Hopefully I’ll have it in hand in a month or so. Looking forward to it!

Oh, I got the OD Green version. I’m not up to the fashion of the FDE. I’m more old school.

I'm pretty sure FDE was last years style and OD green is the new in color for this season. (Picture Frank on a cat walk) You are welcome for that image you can never forget.
I did not see the tactical bolt handle in the configurator. Does it automatically come with the High Precision ½ MOA Package - II?
The bolt knob is an add on when you start configuring the package
I do not believe so. When I went through the configurator, the accuracy packages, I and II were extra. But honestly, with the test targets that are coming with the rifle, that are basically 1 ragged hole, I am not sure that you need to get the extra package. Of course, it is nice to know that for those who have that skill level to take advantage (and actually notice the difference), that accuracy package is available.
For me, I am not so sure my skill level is at the point where I would be able to make use of the accuracy package. However, it is good to know that when I do improve, I can always send the rifle back to APO for the work. I guess that is the big draw for me, the customer support and upgrade ability from the company that made my rifle.

The tactical bolt knob option is like 3 or 4 pages into the configurator, it's a separate listing
Got mine today. It comes with a swivel stud up front instead of a pic rail. Not quite sure how to adapt this for a Revolution bi-pod. There's not even a MLOK slot up front on the bottom to mount a pic rail section close to the front of the rail. Waiting to hear from APO tomorrow. Any ideas out there?
Look in the thread, there is several options for this if you want a rail
And if you remove the stud and just use an MLOK pic rail Elite Iron has an extended version mount with a longer adapter
Thanks. That is now the intent. Calling Elite Iron tomorrow with the measurements. Not sure why APO didn't just put a slot there instead of the stud. Oh well.
This is how I'm running the area 419 14" universal rail and so far and it's pretty darn solid, no drilling. The right most bolt is in the sling stud hole after I removed it. The other 4 to the left hit each of the 4 M-LOK slots.
Please post a pic with your solution when you get the chance. I will be using a Revolution as well.
Ephram M.
I would get a Seekin MLOK the 13 pic one, it only has one lug, use it in the back and line the front hole up with the stud hole and put the last screw there.
