Ruckersville, VA. - Ashbury Precision Ordnance Mfg (APO) continues to innovate and develop its unique line of precision bolt action rifles built on variants of the patented SABER® modular chassis with the new SUPRA Precision Light Rifle.  SUPRA rifles are built on the versatile, low cost yet fully featured MRCS-AR modular rifle chassis and Ashbury's own line of precision manufactured SABER bolt action receivers in a wide range of popular calibers.

The SUPRA Precision Light Rifle is designed for the legions of long gun shooting enthusiasts desiring the form, fit and functionality of an AR, in an accurate lightweight, maneuverable and entirely reconfigurable precision bolt action rifle platform.  Each SUPRA Precision Light Rifle is hand crafted by Ashbury's experienced ordnance team lead by USMC trained gunsmiths, armorers and proud American craftsmen using Ashbury's precision machined stainless steel actions, match grade hand lapped barrels, rugged and reliable triggers and patented advanced technology SABER® MRCS- AR rifle chassis.
APO's precision rifles are built to exacting standards and precision tolerances that require no bedding, are low maintenance and deliver consistent sub <½ moa performance with factory match grade ammunition.  Custom SUPRA Precision Light Rifles are chambered in 15 different short and long action calibers in right or left hand configurations

The core of the SUPRA Precision Light Rifle accuracy, are Ashbury's SX and LX octagonal SABER® bolt action receivers precision machined from billet 416R stainless steel.  The receiver is matched with a strong one piece, 2-lug bolt made of 4140 Chromemoly steel.  Both the bolt and receiver are coated with a rugged, all weather protective BLACKNITRIDE™ finish.  The standard SUPRA fire control mechanism is a single stage trigger set to break at a crisp 3 pounds and an optional 2-stage adjustable Tubb T7T trigger is also available.
The SUPRA's MRCS-AR rifle chassis is engineered to interlock with Ashbury's octagonal bolt action receiver, and is fed by a 5rd or 10rd detachable box magazine.  The Precision Light Rifle uses a LUTH-AR (and soon to be released APO ACARS shoulder stock) adjustable carbine shoulder stock mounted on a six position MIL-SPEC buffer tube and attached with APO's double locking alloy hinge.  The octagonal aluminum alloy AR styled hand guard uses Magpul's popular M-LOK® accessory attachment system and has 3, 6 and 9 o'clock accessory attachment points.  An optional carbon fiber hand guard is also available which further reduces rifle weight.  Both the hand guard and shoulder stock are forward compatible with other advanced SABER modular rifle chassis system components.

APO precision rifle barrels are engineered using Ashbury's proprietary BASED™ (Barrel Safety Engineered Design) software for calibers from .223 to .408 CheyTac.  The standard Pinnacle Series medium contour match grade barrel is made of 416R stainless steel that is fluted and hand lapped.  SUPRA rifle barrels are chambered to a straightness of less than two ten thousandths (<0.0002") of an inch or better and finished with an 11 degree target crown, threaded muzzle concentric with the bore and finished with a muzzle brake suppressor adapter!  Ashbury also offers a Proof Research carbon fiber wrapped barrel option on the standard and Elite SUPRA models.
The SUPRA Precision Light Rifle features a one-piece monolithic 20 or 30 MOA 12 o'clock Picatinny top rail with plenty of room for a rifle scope and clip on night vision or thermal imaging device for coyote, and hog hunters.  Ashbury's patented monolithic rail provides unparalleled chassis rigidity for consistent long range accuracy.  The SABER chassis also has fixed or detachable shoulder stock joints, variable grip angles, adjustable hand-grip-to-trigger distance, and a comfortable Ergo Slimline pistol grip.
The base SUPRA rifle weighs approximately 9.75lbs with the standard medium contour Pinnacle barrel and 9lbs with a Proof Research carbon fiber wrapped barrel.  There are flush cup sling swivel attachment points along the entire length of the rifle that are repositionable on the hand guard.  The rifle is available in a range of Cerakote finishes to include: Armor Black, OD Green, Bazooka Green, Titanium, Tungsten or Sniper Gray, Flat Dark Earth and more.  The MSRP for the base SUPRA Precision Light Rifle is $3,490.00
