Hi All,

Just thought I would share with you all the new stick that I got a couple months ago from GAP. Finally got around to taking some pix, only because I was running low on ammo, so not a lot of shooting till I make more! LOL!! This beast has a very expensive appetite!

With the help of GAP and months worth of lurking on this forum I gathered enough info. on what I think is a pretty neat rifle that does it's job well to say the least. In the past couple month I've put appox. 120 rounds through this beast. Zeroed it at the range, and it's been in the field ever since (Yes, no break period in for me:), whacking goats, feral boars, and AIXS deer. I was asked by a friend of mine to help with the control of feral goats, feral boars, and deer that compete with his cattle for food on his ranch, so why the heck not, I've got the PERFEKT rifle to do so!!

I haven't shot groups yet with this rifle, but I see no need. It's very effective out in the field. I've only gotten it out to 300yd (Chump change for the .338) but that will soon change. This rifle is a pleasure to shoot, with the muzzle break and the weight (20lbs Lock & Loaded/Heavy BIOTCH) recoil is that of a .243! Downside is this F#%@^$ heavy and cumbersome to carry in the mountain all day, LOL!

I'm planning on reloading for the beast, anyone got some recipes? Right now I'm looking to try VV560 w/250gr Nosler Accubonds.

Specs are as followed:

Badger M2008 Gen 2 Action in .338 Lapua Mag.
Fluted Bartlien 26 inch Barrel (MTU Contour)
Surefire .338 Muzzle Break
S&B 3-12x50mm w/Gen 2 Reticle, CCW/MTC Turrets
Badger low 34mm Rings
AICS 2.0 in FDE
Atlas V8 Bipod
Cerekote Black

Regards,
Jeff

ENJOY!!!

JK, nice stick man.....would love to see some more pics of after you stretch it's legs a bit. Maybe some of your hunting area, considering where you're at it must be awesome.

Too bad you can't get a suppressor for it.

Re: New GAP Boom Stick!!!!! PIC Heavy!

How do you like the Badger action ? This is very close to my build plans , can you get a few close up shots of the bolt handle closed ? Did you have someone modify the stock for this action ? I know it had to be cut for the 2nd lug .

Pix were taken at the ranches baseyard. I guess their not using the welder anymore, lol! That's probably the biggest welder I've seen.

I love the Badger Action!! Haven't had any problems with it afield yet. But there are some cons to the action. One, it's frigggn heavy, two-Tolerances on the bolt is a bit tight (I plan on fluting the bolt). Other than those to minor things IMO it's the best action for a .338 Lapua Mag.

The guys over at GAP did the mods to the stock. The thing is built like a tank!! Doesn't help with the weight savings though, lol!

I wish I could get a can for it, this howitzer puts a beating on your ear drums. Which is why I always shoot with ear plugs. And yeah Hawaii's hunting area is unique alright here's some pixs, enjoy!! @ about 3500ft elevation.

Sorry not the best Pix

Re: New GAP Boom Stick!!!!! PIC Heavy!

Hell yeah, pig slaying is fun. Working on paying off an AR308 for some up close stalking of boars around here. Pig sniping with that thing must be fun, the scenery is not too shabby either haha
 
Re: New GAP Boom Stick!!!!! PIC Heavy!

Rifle looks good...would be neat to have those kinds of targets to shoot at.
