First GAP Build (Video Update!)

[GunGuru727]

Hey everyone,

I just received my GAP Hospitaller this past week. Let me just start off by saying that I am extremely impressed, there is something to be said about everything that went into this rifle. It all starts with the stock, Tom Manners really did this right. From the moment I got behind it, my hand literally fell right into a natural and relaxed state. The texturing is perfect with just enough tackiness to get a purchase but not over bearing. Todd Jackson did a fantastic job with the Digicam and would recommend him to anyone that is interested in getting their rifle dressed. The Surgeon 591 action is built like a tank and smooth as silk, seriously. The overall fit and finish is 5-stars - GAP really made a solid girlfriend.


-Specs-
[Caliber] .308
[Action] Surgeon 591
[Barrel] Fluted Bartlein 24" 5R 1/11 Twist
[Stock] Manners T4A
[DBM] Badger M5
[Trigger] Jewell

For now it's going to wear my NXS 8-32x56 until the Premier 5-25x56 comes in. Additionally, I put the standard Harris bipod on there just for show.

I will post more pictures once I mount the scope and also range report, all within time.

Beautiful! Now are you going to shoot it, or just rub it with a diaper?

Re: First GAP Build

That is one heck of a nice rifle!!!!

What made you go with a 24" barrel?

I have been debating about a .308 build but with a 20".

Re: First GAP Build

that is outstanding. I got a GAP M40A3 this year and I was too blown away by the craftsmanship.

Re: First GAP Build

Very Impressive. Manners stocks are first rate, you made a great choice in the T4A.

Yes it is. First build also.

Have been shooting my 700P for a while now. They are still great rifles.

Re: First GAP Build

Congratulations on your new rifle. I have a GAP Crusader but I am so jealous of you, I love that camo pattern. I too would like to see a range report

Re: First GAP Build

Alright so I broke my rifle in today. Here are just a few pictures I took. Alls I can say is that I am very impressed with the way it shoots. Going from my 700P to this is night and day.

All groups were shot at 100Yrds.

Here is my Dads group. Father like son.

Re: First GAP Build

What was your break-in procedure? Shoot it till accuracy degrades?

 

[elkkid3]

Re: First GAP Build

Not only does it look great, shoots like a champ!

 

[Charliehorse794]

Re: First GAP Build

Nice rifle!! The Manners T4A is one of the nicest stocks out there.

Re: First GAP Build

Damn nice. Whats up with the first shot... you pulling that off, or doing an optic adjustment?

 

[Shoots 700's]

Re: First GAP Build

That is a very sweet looking rifle. Can you tell me how long of a wait it was to get that thing?

 

[Black-X]

Re: First GAP Build

One of these days I'm going to skip steps A, B, and C and go straight to G.

Congrats on the sweet rig!
