One of the interesting features of the
Unique Alpine TPG-1 is its modular construction. Stocks can be interchanged with a number of stocks, from wood furniture to highly-configurable synthetic stocks, (The standard stock is synthetic with a pistol grip, a monopod to support the butt, and a bipod adjustable for height and cant ad the end of the fore-end.) Barrels are 26 inches (with the exception of the .338 Lapua chambering, which uses a 27.6-inch barrel), and they may be tipped by a flash suppressor, a muzzle brake, or use an integrally-silenced barrel (assuming the appropriate ammunition).

The barrels are also quick-change barrels (within their caliber; the
Unique Alpine TPG-1sniper rifle has no provision for easily changing calibers). They are fluted to save weight. The buttstock, barrel, and foreend can be removed for transport. The receiver is built primarily from thick, aircraft-quality aluminum, with a steel barrel and operating parts. The trigger is adjustable for pull weight and pull length; the stock is adjustable for length of pull by spacers. The stock also has a cheekpiece adjustable for height and angle. The butt has a thick, crescent-shaped recoil pad.

A fairly-new development from Austria (though it is in fact a German design), the Unique Alpine TPG-1 is primarily designed for police use, but is quite suitable for military use.
