Yep, that's Bryan. He is a hell of a shooter!
thanks for posting these up. Great to see our soldiers out in the field having some fun at the matches!
Great set up of weapon and optic!
and you're still gonna get a vortex...
Is that a 20in barrel? Maybe some one from gap can chime in with the specs.
USASOC changes the rules every year. The GAP rifles really should be in the open class. The "operational" snipers continue to bitch like schoolgirls when they get beat by the AMU shooters. The competition is little more than a soap opera with guns.
That description definitely fits the Int Sniper Comp at Ft Benning! That competition has run all over the place from Rack/Issued Firearms to Run Whatever You Brung, which finally brought about the classes.
Amazing how far things have come! Looking at what we were running in the 70s to the 90s, and then looking at what is being run in those matches.
Glad that the brothers on the tip of the spear are finally able to take full advantage of what is out there. It was a pretty sad state when civilian shooters were better equipped than military shooters.
Good catch... I was thinking Intl Sniper but said USASOC.
I would guess because GAP 10's are not inventory weapons. They are trotted out for competition only. Wait for it...
Sorry for the Int Sniper Comp sidetrack, but since it was brought up,
AKA 2011:
"For the first time in the eleven-year history of the U.S. Army International Sniper Competition, all competitors will use the same sniper rifle and optics of equal power. The new rules are designed to "level the playing field, so it isn't so much an equipment race," said Capt. Daniel Wilcox, who overseas Army Sniper School at Benning as commander of C Company, 2nd Battalion, 29th Infantry Regiment."
AKA 2012:
(1) Service class limits sniper teams to compete utilizing only their unit’s assigned sniper equipment according to their TDA/TO&E. Any team that is found to have an excess of custom equipment will be moved to the open class. The USASS has the final say in all equipment matters.
(2) The open class is open to all competitors and is for teams that choose not to use weapons that are not part of a unit’s TDA/TO&E limited to .338 Lapua, 250 grain.
So the decision making continues, try to level the playing field to make it a "fair competition", or open the doors to allow the competitors to push the limits (and the heck with the "fair competition").
Fortunately SOCOM still has the COTS card to play, so they will at least continue to move forward, not so sure about the rest of the regular Joes.
I hope the competitions continue, not because anyone will leave with a trophy, but because it will bring the best shooters together to share TTP and push the gear boundaries forward.

I agree 100%. In the early days you have guys coming and shooting with much better equipment and having spent months training for the comp where as others were just grabbing what their arms room had coming right out of the field with no "specific comp" training and trying to compete. So the decision to level the playing field was good in theory but when you have some guys coming in with out any experience on the SASS (which isn't as bad of a platform as some people say when used in its intended role) they are lost. That is why the decision went back to their own kit. IMO the ISC had brought some good things back to the current doctrine.

Thank you.
Thank you.
Is it me or does the GAP-10 Receivers and Rail looks A Lot like the POF stuff? Do they use the same receivers by any chance?
