This rifle has a total weight, with optics (Leupold Mk4 4.5-14) at 10.3 lbs so without optics, around that 8.5 lb range. This is a mid weight rifle by design. The Raptor Stalker is a rifle basically FAR OVER ENGINEERED for strength using my Raptor Hunter receiver. With its massive strength and extra long tenion length, barrel support and rigidity are simply head and shoulders above everything else in this receiver footprint class.
Then add to this the APS Stalker barrel contour design which while being relatively lightweight, offers the barrel stiffness and rigidity of a barrel several contours larger. This is a result of the longer then normal, full diameter barrel shank which is where most of the barrel stiffness and rigidity come from. Also this is where the extreme torqueing forces generated by the acceleration of bullets occurs. Once the bullet gets up to speed the second half of the barrel, this torqueing stress dramatically drops off.
The Raptor Stalker was designed to compete, run head to head with rifles in the 12-14 lb range yet offer a more portable rifle. Kind of a jack of all trades rifle platform. With that said, the 300 Allen Xpress is simply put, the JACK OF ALL TRADES of my APS wildcat line of high performance wildcats. Not quite the ballistic performance of the 7mm Allen Magnum but longer barrel life and better terminal performance. Not quite the terminal performance of the 338 Allen Xpress but noticeably less recoil and better suited and more flexible for lighter and medium big game species.
This rifle is designed around the use of bullets such as the 200 gr Accubond, 200 gr Barnes LRX, the mid weight Hammer bullets and many others.
The 300 Allen Xpress will add a solid 150-200 fps over what the 300 RUM will do and do so with longer lasting brass for longer brass life and in a round that is significantly shorter to fit better in detachable magazines. Plus with the felt recoil of something similar to a 243 sporter weight rifle!!! Hard to explain until you feel one of those 200 gr class bullets rip out of the muzzle at 3400 fps and feel very little if any recoil....
Anyway, customer contacted me a few weeks ago saying he needed to sell this project. Told him I recommended waiting till the rifle was finished and ready to ship and then would post it for sale. As mentioned, brand new rifle, just finished build. Amazing mid weight power house rifle suitable for anything from pronghorn to bull elk and bull moose. Would even work just fine on big bears with proper bullet selection. Has the flexibility to offer precision at long range or extreme power at close range if needed.
Price does not include optics or bipod.
Again, asking new full $5300 price or best offer. If your interested please shoot me an email at [email protected] and I can get you any information you may want on this rifle or loads for the 300 Allen Xpress. Thanks for your consideration of this rifle. Great rifle!!
