The APF Varmint 2.0 22 ARC FDE is a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle from APF (brand part no. RI331FDE), built in Alexandria, Minnesota for flat-shooting varmint and predator work. A 22-inch 416 stainless medium-contour barrel with a 1-in-7-inch twist is fitted with a Butcher-16 muzzle brake on a 1/2×28 thread. The free-float M-LOK handguard, ambidextrous billet receivers and Magpul PRS-Lite stock make it a stable platform for glass and a bipod, and a 20-round magazine comes with it. The Cerakote finish on this version is Flat Dark Earth.
