Looking at GAP and see they have the templar and templar v2. I can see the difference but is there an advantage to the 20 MOA base integrated on the V2?
GAP actions
- Thread starter Iron Hide776
- Start date
Yes the action is more rigid, also the integral recoil lug on the V2 (Defiance Deviant)
With the integral rail there is no chance of an out of spec rail or the rail coming loose

O ok thanks for the info, also is there a reason anyone wants to go higher than a 20 MOA base?
not for most applications.
if you have optics with limited elevation travel or are using the rifle for EXTREME ranges.
but with the availability of mounts and rings with MOA inclines there is no practical reason to go beyond 20 MOA on the rail

Ahh ok. How about another question?
I see on there the surgeon xl action. Is it that much better than GAP? Price says it is.

The XL is a larger action for like a 338 LM or such. It has a 30 MOA rail on it.

I am still looking into that, open for opinions.
I am just trying to expand my knowledge before a purchase anything.

Certain scopes with a lot of elevation range and single-turn or double-turn knobs can benefit from a base with additional slope. With only 20 MOA on the mounts, I'm nowhere close to maximizing the elevation travel on some of my setups.
I've yet to own a V2 Templar, but I had a rifle with one of the originals and it was really nice - easily my favorite among the custom actions I've owned to date.
