Just wanted to throw out a quick thanks to GAP for the rifle they recently finished for me. It has far surpassed my expectations. I'm 125 rounds in and couldn't be happier.
Rifle:
GAP Templar SA in .308 WIN
20" Bartlein 5R 11.25 Varmint Contour
Manners T4A Midnight Stock w/DBM5 Bottom Metal
Leupold Mk4 4.5x14x50 TMR Mil/Mil
Range Report:
Not the best groups of the day, they were the only groups of the day. This rifle just plain shoots. Currently using handloads, havn't had a chance to run Factory Match ammo so cant speak to it but imagine it shoots those almost if not just as well. 1/3 MOA @ 100 and 1/4 @ 200. This is tactical shooting, Prone with a rice bag, no bench or vise.
178gr Hornady A-Max
IMR 4064 @ 40.6gr
GMM Once Fired Brass
CCI BR-2
0.02 off the lands
Quick note about the re-loads. GAP does such a good job with the chamber and throat that you don't run into issues with OAL beyond magazine capacity, and it required very little headspace adjustment on my dies.
To sum it all up this rifle is amazing. I have had my hands on plenty of good shooters but this is hands down the best. If it ever sends a bad shot, you can be assured it was your fault. Thanks to GAP, for those still waiting for their rifle to come in, you wont be disappointed.
