Awesome! Now you can join the 'mile' club
If I may ask, what are all the particulars of the rifle?

Re: GAP-10 7mm08
Got any loads worked up for it yet?
You should just be able to squeeze in the Berger 180 and 168's to feed in the mag. Same with the new Hornady 162 A-max's and Sierra 180 SMK's. The old Hornady HPBT's will fit no problem, as will the Sierra 175's.
With all of the really high BC bullets you will be seated right to the top of the bearing surfaces of each bullet.
Too bad Berger doesn't make a lighter, really long ogive bullet to not only fit the mag but take advantage of the really tight twist.

Looks great. What color did you order? Did they paint the mount or someone else?

Re: GAP-10 7mm08
Sweet. I'm very interested in the range report, and what velocity you can get out of this. I was going to build a 708 AR, but came across a great deal on a 260 barrel, and couldn't pass it up. I'll do the 708 next time.

Re: GAP-10 7mm08
i agree it does make a lot of sense the ballistics are really good just don't see that many of them. sure can't wait to see how it does at the range. being a gap i am sure it is really good.

I have zero practical experience with 7-08 in an AR. However, Quickload was a little disappointing with a 162amax @ 2.810 - to be loaded in Pmags. I was going to try it anyway, QL isn't the end all be all! Even if it only manages 2400fps though, it's still flatter and less drift than a 30cal 175smk @ 2550, and it'll have less recoil.
Glad to see someones trying - again, can't wait for the range report!
