Which 300 Win Mag???

[fx77]

Having no opportunito to shoot either...from those who have experience with this caliber firle:
Would U choose a GAP or AI..? the accuracy seems equal in both (accuracy is key) , but one is much more expensive...
Soooo What are your feelings/opnions/advice?
Thanks so much.

Think you meant for this to go in the bolt action section, not semi-auto.

Both great setups, but the AI was built for war, so if ultimate durability is the key, go AI. If you want a rifle you can configure to your exact specs, go GAP.

You might want to ask a Mod to move this over to the Bolt Rifle forum for full visibility. For a second there I thought there were now multiple manufacturers putting out 300WM semis in a tactical setup!

And I agree with Hawk on how to make the choice except to add the AIs also have increased user serviceability inherent with the design for barrel changes and the like.

Somebody has a 300, in 5R. Win Mag. I'd go with that. Bolt rifle, on the "for sale", thread.

I have a GAP .300WM and it is a laser - honestly, it is the most accurate rifle I have ever owned. That said, I want an AI. A couple years ago I sold a GAP .308 to help fund an AW in .308 - I am sold on the system. However, an AI in .300 WM is @ 2x more than a GAP and they are very rare on the used market (you can not throw a rock in the for sale section without hitting a .338, but there may have been 1, maybe 2 .300 WMs that have come up in the last 2 yrs).

Supposedly AI is going to release an AX version of the Win Mag soon (based on an old post on this site discussing the AX when it first came out).

I will say this, my GAP is 2 or 3 #s lighter than an AI.



Good luck

This is really gread advice..kind of like need and desire..

At the dept. store a guy had a very hot saleswoman..she asked him his desire..he replied that he disired to take her away and ravish her.., but what he needed was a pair of socks...
