    at first i thought the gun was backwards, then i thought the photo was, then i noticed it was a lefty.

    Good stuff tho, looks good.

    So I've heard. I sold my GAP 338 LM because it was a righty (<span style="font-style: italic">GASP!</span>). When I called Ken at GA and was getting a lefty version of what I sold spec'ed out the wait was 8-12 months. Being the impatient person I am, I decided to give Robert a try as he quoted me half the build time. He came in right on schedule. I should take possession sometime in the next few days. Can't wait to see what she's capable of.

    You made a great decision and you will not look back...I have owned 2 260s, 375cheytac, 300WSM and now awaiting a 7SAUM...all built by Robert and shot/shoot lights out.

    Yes. As soon as I get some free time I'll post a range report - hopefully this weekend.

    17.5 lbs as pictured according to our 44lb food scale. Too muddy to take her out break her in this weekend.

    It's taken me a while to break in, but it finally done and boy can she shoot! I'm working up loads and this is the best I've found so far. Didn't have a lot of time but this was the best group of the day. I know, I know, it's only a 3-shot group, but you guys get the picture.

    Load specs:

    Lapua brass
    90.5g H-1000
    300g Berger
    FGMM primer
    3.780 COAL (Just fits my CIP length mags!)
