RPA Interceptor Sporting Rifle
A high performance sporting rifle manufactured from RPA’s world beating products, designed for professionals and enthusiasts alike. The heart of the RPA Interceptor is the RPA 4-lug Quadlite® action renowned for unrivalled accuracy, durability and safety. This will probably be the most accurate rifle you will ever own. Interceptors are available in single shot left or right handed formats and a wide range of calibre options. They are fitted with our own two stage trigger, equipped with a 2-position safety catch. Barrels are threaded to allow for easy fitting of the RPA muzzle brake or a suppressor.
First Class Pedigree
The heart of any rifle is the receiver, developed from the Quadlock® and designed with the gun connoisseur in mind; the Quadlite® is designed for long range competition, sporting, varmint and bench shooters alike.
Built using over 30 years experience of high power long range competition target shooting the Quadlite® has a first class pedigree.
Crafted Precision

Safety & Engineering
Interceptor stocks are crafted from epoxy with glass and kevlar reinforcement, with a durable epoxy gel-coat outer layer before a final textured 2 pack paint finish. The bedding area is made up with a hard solid fill of epoxy and resin; the butt and forend is an epoxy and glass ball fill for balance. The materials are of the highest specification and type approved for composite aircraft construction. Standard colour is black, other colours to special order.
Flexibility
Interceptor stocks are ambidextrous and supplied with an adjustable cheek piece; fixed butt plate with spacers as standard. An adjustable three position butt can also be supplied to order or can be readily retro-fitted.
All exposed aluminium parts are anodised for durability and protection against the elements. RPA two stage triggers were developed for competition shooters; this design has been incorporated into the Quadlite® trigger used in the Interceptor.
