The basic scope used with the APR is a Schmidt & Bender 3-12x50. This is rebranded by Brugger & Thomet to become the B&T TRS (Tactical Rifle Scope). It measures in at 355mm and weighs in at 900 grams. It sports a quick detach system and is supported along the top of the receiver by a Picatinney MIL STD 1913 rail system with Simrad adaptor. Windage, elevation, parallax, dioptre and illumination are all adjustable by various knobs positioned throughout the scope's design. The finish is in a flat black to reduce reflection in-the-field. Day and night function is possible.
The optional suppressor is designated as the Brugger & Thomet GRS, rated for the .308 Winchester/7.61x51mm NATO standard rifle round. It measures in at 243mm with a 40mm diameter and weighs in at 897 grams. The suppressor is threaded onto the APR's barrel through the Thread M20x1 attachment and is rated at 33dBa for 5,000 rounds.
The APR comes in four distinct marketed forms: the B&T APR308 and B&T APR338 are both military-minded models with each designation showcasing their respective caliber. The B&T APR308P is intended for law enforcement while the B&T APR308S is a "suppressed" variant. All are designed to be operational right out of their packaging to which Brugger & Thomet claims equal precision in both military and sporting settings. All models come complete with a muzzle brake to hide the position of the firer as well as reduce recoil, a folding adjustable buttstock with integrated buttspike, wholly adjustable trigger system, adjustable shoulder sling and detachable box magazines.
To date, only Luxembourg and Singapore have procured the precision B&T APR system in number. Both utilize the .308 variant.
