Took my new GAP 6.CM for a test drive today....

[dtibbals]

I picked up my new GAP Templar last week and finally got a chance to go out and shoot it today. WOW what an awesome rifle! Spent some time shooting suppressed and non suppressed at 100 then moved back to 600 and shot 1/2 IPSC targets...pretty easy. So put up a bunch of balloons going crazy in the wind and the fun really began! The 6.5CM is pretty damn impressive! I went with a 22" barrel and even though everyone says 26-28" I wanted something a little more compact and plan on running my 30P-1 a lot. With factory Hornady 140g ammo I am averaging 2737 fps so I am pretty happy with that. Ballistic puts me out to around 1350 yards before I start to loose steam. With a little more powder in a reload I think hitting the 2800 area will be pretty easy.

I had to wait for 8.5 months but so far worth the wait!

Thanks buddy! I have to say it was a pretty long wait but good thing is they quoted 12 months and I got it in just over 8 so I was pretty excited!

I know the feeling. Waiting on a stock from manners to get my build started. Quoted 4-5 months hopefully not as long as quoted.

That is an awesome rifle and so glad to hear how you are MORE than pleased. It has to be a great feeling.

Congrats again on a WOWsome rifle!

I just received my Roberts Precision build in 6.5 with a 22" barrel. I had it built as a hunting rifle primarily, but also as a backup long range gun. I had the barrel fluted to take some weight off of it and threaded with one of his breaks on it, so that I can run my 30P-1 on it, now that we can hunt suppressed in TX. Glad to hear that you are getting good results from the 22" barrel. I did mine in same length for the same reasons...mobility. I have not been able to run it as of yet because of working too many hours at work. I also moved recently and the free time right now has been focused on building the reloading bench for the man cave.
