First off I want to say thank you to the crew there at GAP, they were great to work with and very patient with me given this was my first build and I had a bunch of question for sure.
I mostly read here, not much of a poster but I do enjoy the heck out of reading the posts here but I figured I would step out of the norm and show this thing off a little.
It started life as a 700 VLS in 6mm Rem, shot very well with a 105Amax, would not shoot a 107 for squat. But I got the bug and have always wanted to have a rifle built so the quest began.
Who was easy..caliber was the big one. I wanted something on the lighter side and I had a bunch of 6mm brass so after a conversation with George....6mm Rem is what it was going to be.
Everything looks great...very nice workmanship and you can tell they take a lot of pride in their work. I thought I was all set using my current base and rings but after setting the scope on the rings I soon found out that the new barrel taper wont allow for the accu-lock low rings..gonna need a set of mediums.
Basically I asked for a Crusader built on my action with my Jewell trigger. The only thing diff is George recommended a 27" barrel with a 1/7.8” twist.
Here are a few pics of the finished product.....I was hoping to put some rounds down range this weekend but I dont think I can get a set of rings that quick so that will have to wait.
