Man...I'm excited, just purchased my first GAP. I've been looking for one used and had a poster from another forum let me know about one for sale on Gunbroker (of all places). I tried to email the guy some questios but thought for the price I better just pull the trigger. I either just got a great deal...or royally screwed! Here's the thread:

Gunbroker GAP!!

Had to share my excitement....hopefully.
 
Re: Just Purchased My First GAP!

I saw it right after it was posted. I would have bought it if it had had an adj cheek piece.

There are two more some guy keeps posting for 3 day auctions. He'll let it expire and a few days later he puts them back up.

That kinda worries me....why didn't he list it here on the Hide?

Disregard my last....he doesn't have enough posts.
 
Re: Just Purchased My First GAP!

Yup, good thing you did the BIN.....would have been several bidding against you.

ME included!

Re: Just Purchased My First GAP!

Nice pickup. I have shot a rifle exactly like this model, same action, barrel, etc. It was a hammer and fun to shoot.

It is listed in the description as an A5 stock. I thought the A5's always had the adjustable cheek rest. I would have thought this is an A3. Right or wrong?

the adjustable piece is an upgrade, not standard.
 
Re: Just Purchased My First GAP!

Adjustable cheek piece isn't all that important if you ask me. Just put an Eagle stock pack on it, and add/remove padding underneath until it provides a perfect cheek weld. When I got into precision shooting I had a Rem 700P without an adjustable cheek piece and that's what I did. When I purchased my GAP, I spent extra to get an adjustable cheek piece with KMW hardware and all the goodies. I spent a while fiddling with it to get it where I wanted, then put the Eagle stock pack over it. Looking back on it, I could have just crammed some padding beneath the stock pack and saved a lot of money.
