Here is another link, I have one of these rifles and I love it. Its light and and easy to carry. I have a Leupold 3.5-10 Mk 4 on it right now, but I have a March 3-24 waiting on me when I get home. After hauling around an M24 in the military, I wanted a lightweight, accurate rifle. I have the 24 inch barrel and have taken it out to 800M and love how it shoots.
I have number 50, I cant remember how many GAP actually made.

Re: anyone driving a GAP TIS?
This was a rifle George and I came up with years ago. It was the light weight answer we came up with after first doing "The Rock"
I run#1, its one hell of a rifle and still my favorite field 308. Mine sports a Leupold Mk4 M2 3.5-10x40 with .50 moa clicks and a BDC knob for 155 Scenars to 1000 yards in one turn. I have a metric ton of rounds through it and still shoots better than I do. Mine is right at 10lbs with scope and rings
Not hard to duplicate the rifle specs.
Carbon Fiber stock and I would go with a Manners now for same set up as its light as heck and really shoots well. Mine has the McMillan M5 Carbon Fiber on it.
Bbl was a Rock 5R heavily flutted 22" 1x11.25 twist
Badger M5 detachable magazine assembly
Reworked Remington trigger
Mine runs the TIS Slip Cuff Quick Release sling on it
George can make anyone something just like it but the TIS was a limited run rifle like SC and SH rifles where.

Re: anyone driving a GAP TIS?
Thanks for the details Mike.
The TIS is a very accurate rifle. Have one with Seekin's rings and base and a USO SN-3, Atlas bipod. It feels like more than 10 pounds though. Mind you, USO scopes are not light imo so the extra weight must be there.
Agree on the Manners stock comment. Although the A5 carbon is excellent.
Like I said in original post, don't see much talk about them on here but figured it deserved mention for being a great rifle.
Cap.

Re: anyone driving a GAP TIS?
Mine was first and has seriously fluted bbl and first hand built carbon McMillan A5 so thats why lighter weight than most, which seems to be around 11lbs with NXS

Re: anyone driving a GAP TIS?
Although mine has a Bartlein barrel its very heavily fluted. Stock is extremely light as well so like I said, guessin' its the heavier scope. Have to actually weight they rig and find out. Maybe I'm a wuss...
Again, props for a great design Mike. My fav. bolt action.

Re: anyone driving a GAP TIS?
Cap, this was truly joint effort, with George and Marty having desire to make lighter weight rifles at that time. Marty made the Aluminum Scope base and original Aluminum Floor Metal ( before detachable system was out), George stringarmed McMillan into making the stock ( Kidding McMillan jumped on board as well)
George experimented with bbls until he had flutes right and still shoot lights out.
This rifle still freakin shoots. It holds under .50 moa with Factory ammo and groups of the .25 moa with hand loads are common for it. Plus it shoots anything you feed it.
What would be cool would be to get George to build an updated version of this rifle, with his action but while these kids are in college and sucking life from me I wont be making another. LOL

Re: anyone driving a GAP TIS?
TIS #21 is also a fantastic shooter with 155 Lap's and 175 SMK's
The best "Lite Rock" I listen to !!

EDIT
I am running the March 3-24x42ffp scope on it now.
I was looking for the actual weight on this rifle that I had posted earlier and decided to bump it. Anyone else running the TIS?
