Got my 'lightly used' APC last night. Overall - I'm actually a liiiitle underwhelmed. Side by side with my Swiss Arms, I find the APC a bit lacking. Feels solid and smooth, but the cheap feeling stock hurts it a bit.
Biggest complaint (other than stock) - if you like to grab the grip high like I do, the safety levers on BOTH sides get in the way of my thumb and trigger finger. I have to grip the rifle lower on the grip than I'm used to. Not a huge deal, but doesn't feel nearly as comfortable as other rifles.
NF 2.5-10x24 in realllly low rings seems to work pretty well with the factory stock. It's actually lower than the stock BUIS and works pretty well. Might try a soft stock pack to raise it up a bit.
Overall - nice rifle - but for almost $4k new, I actually expected a little more out of it. Let's hope it's a shooter! Gonna try some 77gr match rounds, as well as 62gr 855 and some cheapo 55gr. Interested to see if I can use this as a gopher rifle.

Do you have a side by side comparison picture with your Swiss? For science reasons ( I want to see your Swiss.lol)

It better be a shooter, or my fear is it's going the way of the EE in a hurry. I still prefer the ergos of the swiss and the AR's.
