    Pics Please - New GAP-10 Handguard

    Are the side rails part of the hand guard, or are they key mod rail sections added on separately? Can you show me a pic of the underside? I'm interested in knowing what mounting options I have underneath. Thanks!

    My GAP-10 Setup/ What scope to go with?

    I'm going with a Vortext 2.5-10x32 PST. Has great glass, loaded with features (FFP, illum, SF), and gets me where I need to go for a heavy semi-auto. Best value optic for its class IMO. If I need more precision than what a 10x top end can offer, I have bolt guns topped with S&B 5-25.

    Pics Please - New GAP-10 Handguard

    No kidding! H@ly Sh!t is all I can say. Who thought that just asking for a couple of pics could have stirred the pot this much. GAP's FB page has a whole line of rifles with the new hand guard out for shipment. I guess I'll wait a couple of weeks to see what pops up. If anyone has any to post...

    Pics Please - New GAP-10 Handguard

    That's it. If you don't mind, would love to see some better pics of this, from different angles and views, when you get a chance.

    Pics Please - New GAP-10 Handguard

    jasonfaz, -Nick- is right. I'm looking for the new hand guard. GAP no longer uses the one you're showing in their build because of some patent or legal dispute. I don't mind what I've seen from the new design, but pics have been very sparse. I want to see more detail and views of what I'm going...

    Pics Please - New GAP-10 Handguard

    Not at all. I mean like the one linked below. Everyone posts pics of the old rail, like the one shown above. I would like to get more than one view of this (a 360 would be really nice)...

    Why is there no love for the 7SAUM

    Pretty easy to see why you migrated to the 7/300. That's like 5 mils at 1,000 yards, and with a pretty good deal of authority! 7 SAUM isn't really a slouch though.

    Why is there no love for the 7SAUM

    Would love to know, how much performance advantage does your 7/300 provide over your 7 WSM and 7 RSAUM?

    Rifle Scopes Full day with the Vortex 4.5-27x - Initial Impressions

    I'm that guy ;) At 15X, we could easily make out the veins and details in the leaves at those trees 100 yards away with both scopes. I was in no way able to tell the difference in clarity, brightness, and color fullness between the two; and the Gen II's competition was the S&B 5-25 flagship...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor HD vs Vortex Razor HD GEN 2

    I had the opportunity to be with Rob when he took these photos. Looking across the street with the S&B and then the Gen II Razor, I really struggled to perceive the difference in glass quality. Clarity and color resolution difference was imperceptible. The tactile clicks of the Gen II's locking...

    Why is there no love for the 7SAUM

    If you're going to stuff a 7mm round into a short mag (a challenging feat with the high BC bullets), the 7 WSM has more horsepower and it's less challenging to get brass. Let's face it, if you're looking at this type of cartridge, you probably don't care all that much about barrel life or...

    Pics Please - New GAP-10 Handguard

    The GAP-10 sticky has like one or two so-so pics of the new hand guard, and GAP's website still uses the old hand guard on their stock photos. Would those of you that have a GAP-10 with the new hand guard kindly post in this thread? I'm interested in seeing the hand guard from multiple views and...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone bought from Vortex recently?

    I ordered a Gen II 1-6 ~ lunch time and had a FEDEX tracking number by 3 pm. I'll have it delivered Thursday.

    Rifle Scopes Scope choices for a semi auto 308 - illumination not necessary

    Even though the Vortex 2.5-10x32 is part of the PST line, it pretty much is in a class all of its own. For its price, you cannot beat the glass clarity, features, and slim design. You pretty much have to spend $1K more to get a NF with equivalent glass and features (but they still don't have SF...

    Question for you 6.5 CM guys

    I have a 6.5 CM 26" Bartlein with a 1/8.5 twist. It LOVES the 140s. I tried the 120s but they never shot as accurate (but I really needed to pair the bullet with a different powder).

    Rifle Scopes Best scope for less than...

    I think that the ATACR is overpriced. IMO, you're paying for the NF name. Rob01 is spot on; go with the Vortex Gen II. The Gen II 1-6 has glass clarity that's pretty much on par with my 5-25 S&B. The 3-18 will be <$2K and has a great reticle; the 4-27 may be just a little bit more. I don't think...
