    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Im most certainly going to start with the Bergs as suggested by the pros. I will see how they perform. Each rifle is different but odds are Most likely flawless from a GAP. No need to try less BC bullets if the Bergs are proven to bang flop. :-) Im not sure how close the LRX BC is though...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    That's what I intend to do. Maybe 3-4 loaded mags just in case zombies are out , LOL Hows the mag release on the Xtreme hunter ? Any accidental mag released ?

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Well I thought it may have been a silly question but I have never owned or cycled a wsm rifle. I figured the short fat case would restrict rifles from holding 4 rounds. Although I've only needed a 3rd round once during hunting. All 425 yard elk hits but the 165 TSX went right through without...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    I most certainly have full confidence in a GAP rifle even before owning one. How many 7wsm rds fit in the BDL ? So you're experience says short fat case cycle "better" in a mag then a BDL.

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Well I guess ive never looked a it that way as it doesn't stick past the trigger. All my rifles have been hinged. So Id just assume for carrying / hunting purposes the" flush" would serve me better.I seem to carry my rifles at that location often. Although I do want the mag system I was curious...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Thanks for the pictures and explanation. The GAP craftsmanship ALWAYS looks excellent. Does GAP offer a shallower/flush 3-4 round mag in the Manners SL / 6.5 SAUM ? All the Extreme Hunter pictures I've seen appear to have deeper/extended mags.

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    This also intrests me. I'm not a big fan of the tsx from past experience but the newer TTSX and LRX have got great reviews even though BC is lower. Unfortunately I see Oregon eventually going all copper like California. I dont agree with their logic on birds dieing from animal cut piles with...

    All the xtremes in this forum seem to have the same size mag. How many 6.5 SAUM rounds fit in these mags? Is there a shallower/flush mag option available ?

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    If a tuned remy can reach 2.5 lbs and remain consistent and reliable and also attached to GAP's solid reputation with the main purpose for hunting. Although a rifle of this quality will definitely get me venturing into punching paper out to 1000 yards. When the comfy level sets in It will...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    I have read a few forums with mixed opinions about the Remy xpro trigger.Non came from GAP owners. Many say its not consistent with repetitive use .Some say the trigger pull fluctuated. My personal experience, I had no complaints .I had a local Smith lighten it up a bit. Though I sold the...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Berger reads that their VDL will penetrate trough bone and tissue up to 1800lbs of energy. Where does the 6.5 SAUM 130 VLD drop below 1800lbs / elk shoulder shots

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Thanks. I dont reload and Im looking for every bit of good reason to Buy a GAP 6.5. :-) The 5bucks a round trough Copper Creek wasn't encouraging. But I really do want this caliber and most important I want it built with GAP Quality. ..........so it appears this guy needs some reloading...

    Is there a cycling difference between the bottom metal mag and hinged floor plate on this new long nosed bad ass cartridge ?

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    I assumed a little more speed gains. At this potential small gain its probably not worth the added weight /length since a muzzle break will be added as well.

    Does the Manners SL stock have that " hollow " sound in the butt like a Tikka T3 ? Thank you all for the kind shared information
