Big news! My rifle is done and will be here next week. Sent all the parts off to GAP in April and original estimate was October. Pics will follow when it arrives.

- Start date
As promised, pictures! Sent parts to GAP 8Apr and picked it up from my FFL today 14Jul. 
Really sweet, makes me want to finish my 280ai build.
I have a Viper HST I can throw on it but looking to put a new Razor HD LHT on it. Sadly, I don't reload my own ammo yet, looking to get in to it in the future. For now though I am going to order a load pack from Copper Creek with 175gr elite hunters to test out. It will be an elk rifle primarily. Copper Creek also said I can send in the 170 168gr bergers I have for them to load and will test those out.That sure is purty...... scope and load development. ........chop chop get the led out.......show holes in paper.
What's your "planed" bullet/ load.
Bet its gonna be a shooter.
Congratulations, that there is a fine rifle.
Scale shows it coming in at 7.6-7.8lbs depending on how stabilize it.
One question/concern. Is it normal to not be able to pull the bolt completely out? I have to remove the adjustable cheekpiece to fully take the bolt out.
having to take off the cheekpiece is pretty normal. - some stockmakers will inlet a little slot in the cheekpiece to allow for clearance, but not all. and depending how high its raised that may not help
coming in at that weight, that is one sweet mountain gun
Very nice! GAP builds some hammers!
If looks could kill, pretty much a given here. Very nice!
How is the balance of the rifle with that barrel and the adjustable cheek piece?
For those who asked. I don’t get to the range all that often or as much as I would like. Here is a group after I finally got it zeroed in. Not the best but this is my first true bolt action rifle and attempt at shooting for accuracy at 100yards.

GAPs are crazy accurate. NICS to have a rifle that will put them in one hole. Easier to learn on a rifle like that
Nice!!
