Here's what I'm doing:
Gen II Templar (standard fluted RB/RP)
25" Bartlein M24 contour with 1/7.7 twist in 6mm
Badger M5 DBM
OD Ceracoat on the metal
McMillan A5 in GAP camo
This build will be chambered in 6XC and will be dubbed the "6xCrusader". It will be the twin to my 22" spec built Crusader in 308. Now, the dreaded wait.

Your breaking my friggen heart. Only 3 GAP rifles, what a piker. Wait a minute, isn't there are local ordnance in King, NC about ostentatious displays of wealth? I think 3 GAP rifles may get you in trouble. Just to be a sport, I'll come get one of those GAP's and hold it for you, just in case. The authorities will never know......
In addition, owning a Crusader, will also get you in trouble with some of the local populace. You will never be able to go into the "Stop and Rob" to shop again. Your quality of life will be diminished, and you will be branded an infidel and sacker of cities.
I'm just trying to save you, you know. O yea, good luck with your stinken new rifle

Bob,
What do you mean by "only". To the contrary, I was trying to show my excitement of getting another. Anywho, no need to make the trek all the way over to King (a town you obviously no nothing about), you can find my 1st GAP on the 1,000 yard firing line in Butner, NC 2 weeks from now. However, for the Crusader, you'll have to wait till October for it (600 yard weekend at Butner). Yes, I actually shoot my rifles.
I do not consider my self wealthy (monetarily speaking), but I spend many more hours working OT than I do playing armchair commando on the internet. However, I do consider myself lucky to have a wife that does't mind me talking to George, once the bills and family are taken care of.
To those that say you wish you had (or could afford) a GAP, I suggest that you do what I've done; give up bass fishing and golf, sell off the firearms that you don't use (i.e. shoot regularly) and save every penny you can. There are plenty of great smiths around, but if you have your heart set on a GA Precision rifle, buy once - cry once.
