    Who are the “go to’s” to have barrel blanks machined to IMPACT action prefits?

    Who are the current smith(s) or shop(s) that are the “go to’s” to get a couple of barrel blanks I have on hand to get machined and chambered into prefits for an Impact precision action? I’ve been out of the PRS game for a few years and am easing back into it. I’m not in a super rush for...

    Ejector Spring for GAP non-typical rifle

    I have a GAP non-typical on a short action Templar action (Defiance machine). The ejector is no longer throwing the case out of the receiver, rather the case is being pulled out of the chamber and just staying attached to the bolt face as you work the bolt back. So with that, what ejector...

    Badger M5 DBM magazine quandry

    So maybe the hide can help me solve a little magazine quandry, so I don't have to bug my favorite gun builder (GAP). I have a GAP non-typical 300WSM with a Badger M5 DBM. The rifle came from GAP with a single detachable box mag. I went to buy an extra mag and have yet to be able to find the...

    Folks, I just received my new S&B PMII 5-25x56 MSR reticle in the mail last week. Yesterday I went to mount it and I just cant help but come to the conclusion the reticle is canted some 3 to 4 degrees. I am mounting the scope on a GAP 338 build and when I mount scopes I usually use playing...

    Rifle Scopes Which reticle for long range -- H2CMR vs. Gen 2 XR

    I'm currently having a GAP 338LM built and am about ready to drop the hammer on my scope. I'll be purchasing a S&B PMII 5-25x56, and now I need to figure out reticle. I've pretty much narrowed it down to the H2CMR vs. the Gen 2 XR but am possibly open to other options. This rifle will be used...

    MCM A-5: Is it ambidextrous?

    I'm looking at a new build and am contemplating an MCM A5 adjustable. I have looked online and wanted to verify the stock is truly ambidextrous. It'll be built as a right handed bolt gun but I want to make sure I can shoot it both right and left handed. With some stocks theres an issue with...

    Rifle Scopes Ring height verification for Premier scope please

    I have a GAP non-typical with standard 20 minute base. I will be mounting Premier light tactical 3x15x50 scope on it. I'm thinking seekins precision 30mm "low" rings will work. Does this ring height seem right? Unfortunately seekins website scope calculator does not offer the 30mm premier...

    GAP rifle - Here today, back to GAP tomorrow

    Well hell boys, the day started off like any other until my FFL gave me a call and told me my GAP had finally arrived. With youth-like excitement, I left work early, and went right over to my FFL to pick up my rifle. As I walked in he pointed to my rifle on the rack and I just smiled. After...

    B&C Gap Hunter stock vs. MCM Hunters Edge or ?

    A few weeks ago I ordered a GAP non-typical chambered in 300 WSM. The rifle is pretty standard with the addition of an M5 DBM. In my original order I specified the B&C Gap Hunter and am now wondering if I want to go with the McMillan Hunters Edge? Or even possibly a different stock all...

    The waiting begins -- GAP "non-typical"

    Talked to Ken today and placed an order for my non-typical. Now just gotta wait for it to get here!! This will be my first GAP, so to say I'm eager is an understatement. I went with the 300 WSM in pretty much standard configuration outside of adding an M5 DBM. The rifle will be finished in...

    Lefties - Left or right handed bolt guns?

    For all of you lefties out there, do you own and shoot left handed bolt guns or do you shoot right handed bolt guns? I'm a lefty and have always shot right handed guns. At this point I am pretty quick working the bolt with my weak hand and keeping the rifle in my shoulder with my strong hand.
