GAP Production Rifle

[huntnh]

Any more 6gts tested out there? Ordering my next week need to decide if it's worth changing to gt I'm already
Set up for 6 creed with dies and brass that's what I shoot now. The gt looks like a good option seems to be easy to load for just hope it hangs in there and brass will be available in the future. Any feedback would be appreciated!!

 

[bads1buell]

I will be ordering a 6CR this morning. I see no need to switch to 6GT as I am also set up for 6CR.

 

[bads1buell]

Placed my order now just set back and wait.

 

[JTinMO]

Need this deal to come back again. I’m ready to order.

 

[BuLLet]

I think it's open all the time now. Check out the website.

Does anyone happen to own one of these rifles and use a 4.5-27 gen2 razor on it? If so what height scope rings are you using?

I do. I had Seekins/Vortex low rings on it from another rifle which were too low. If I remember right, the bolt was hitting on the power ring. Anyways, I ended up using a Medium Warne Skyline mount I had. It is a little high but allowed more than enough clearance for scope caps. The Vortex lows are .92" and the Warne Skyline Medium is 1.181" to give you an idea.

 

[JTinMO]

Man, you are right. They are on the site now. I never saw them there.

Thanks, I wanted to try the ARC rings on this. Their mediums are 1.1, so they might work just fine.

You can make a deposit online through the GAP store..call Caleb Ash Mon. should be shipped in Jan.

 

[Splicer64]

I believe Med. ARC rings are as low as you can go..I bought Lg..we’ll see how they work.

 

[huntnh]

I just placed a order today 6creed now the wait begins!!

Please excuse the questions. I have been interested in this rifle since I first saw it come out but have paralyze by analyses. I assume that the Tenacity action is as well built as any other Defiance actions and doesn't give up too much over the Ruckus? If I shoot the barrel out, GAP can send me a new barrel without me sending it in? Anyone ask for more than one barrel or caliber when you have ordered this rifle? Work and life don't allow me to shoot an extreme amount and part of the reason I don't want to do a full build, plus the price point is good.

GAP will send you as many barrels as you want for your build. Just say how much.

The Tenacity action accepts prefits. Choose your barrel maker, receive in mail, and spin it on.

All Defiance actions are good to go.

Does anyone know if they are going to offer this again this year? meaning 2021

I don’t know the answer to that question, but I’m pretty positive they are still taking orders on the 2020 run. I would give them a call tomorrow, they have great CS.

i have several GA rifles and they have 1 of mine now should be done this week. they do great work and this is just a smoking deal

 

[Mxridr]

Saw one these rifles up close. They are very nice. Could hardly build one for the price. 6 cm shot very well.

Nice, yeah the PPR is a hell of a deal. I would of ordered one if I had not already ordered a different rifle. Maybe I’ll get one for a back up...

 

[Dezelrig]

Picked up this rig at the Hornady PRC match a couple weekends ago, by far one of the nicest "PRS Production Class" rifles out there currently, you're definitely getting more rifle for the money. Took it out last weekend to run a few rounds through it and it flat out hammers with my current GT load and zero load development. These are the first 5 shot groups out of the rifle after zeroing the scope.

Have you had more time on your rifle since posting?

Can you share your GT load-brass, powder, primer, bullet jump etc.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I honestly have not had much time since initially shooting it due to being extremely busy with work, traveling/shooting matches and other projects. I'm actually planning on posting the rifle for sale soon as I'm trying to consolidate things in my safe to clear up some room lol. So if anyone is interested again in an amazing rig let me know!

I'm currently running the new Alpha OCD brass on my main comp 6gt with the following load:

-Alpha OCD 6 GT Brass
-109 Hybrids jumping 60-80
-32.0gr Varget
-Fed 205m Primers but I also have had good luck with anything cci srp, 450s, 400s and br4s.
-Speed is around 2880-2900 for me

 

[Lowlight]

This is a GAP Production Rifle too



The stock is technically an upgrade but the barreled action is a production rifle

 

[huntnh]

Thanks for the review great looking rifle!!

 

[UpSideDown]

Has anyone asked/ordered if they will build them in 6.5CM? I don't shoot PRS.

 

[Dthomas3523]

Whole point is to keep sku’s down for cost and be for prs.

 

[Tritiumdials]

Has anyone asked/ordered if they will build them in 6.5CM? I don't shoot PRS.

I asked this using their contact form on their website some time before Christmas, haven’t received a response yet.

 

[Stoweit]

I think it’s only 6 GT or 6CM, to keep cost in line. Makes sense.

 

[Hondo23]

Ya they don't appear to be in the shop or answering emails, I will call next week. I would like a couple options as well but the 6CM will work for what I need. No PRS either but fun to shoot and looks good. But in the future I want one of their Thunder Ranch in 308/260...

[BigPrince]

In the first run, they said they'd only do 6CM and 6GT to keep costs down. I've very happy with my 6CM even though I wanted 6.5CM at first also. MPA has a production model with more cartridge options.

 

[UpSideDown]

I figured that as a PRS-ready gun it would only be those two, but I'm curious if they'd use a different barrel and just up the price a little if you wanted a 6.5CM (that doesn't need to me the PRS price rule)

 

[bfk4lyfe]

buy a 6cm, burn out barrel, buy new barrel in flavor of your choosing..

 

[b6graham]

and no longer have production rifle

but i bet GA would sell you a 6.5 barrel for it too at the same time

 

[UpSideDown]

That's exactly what I asked. I don't shoot PRS, but that is exactly a gun I'd like to get.

 

[b6graham]

probably wouldnt be too hard to sell the takeoff barrel either

 

[OSU Fisher]

I bought a 6cm last year with the intent to shoot it out then spin on a 6.5cm.

 

[Hondo23]

So, did you shoot it out ? Get a new barrel from GAP?

You can make a deposit online through the GAP store..call Caleb Ash Mon. should be shipped in Jan.

Ash is a cool cat. He'll help you.

I have one of these that I ordered for the 2020 season. honestly, other than 20 rounds that i quickly loaded up and put down the barrel, i've not shot it at all. I've been spending all my time with a different rifle. I need to get off my ass, work up a load and put some rounds through it.

 

[huntnh]

Got the call yesterday mine is ready to ship! Super fast turnaround 31 days from order date way to ga.

damnit, i ordered the first week they were available. I'm lefty tho, I'm sure that's not helping.

 

[Hondo23]

Ash made it sound like they only had left available but I was asking about the 6 CM.

Planning on starting load development this week on my gap production in 6 creed anybody have a load that’s working good? Planning on shooting the Berger 105s over h4350 any help would be greatly appreciated !

Not sure what FB spec they used on the PPRs, but on my old 6CM GAP Barrels, I ran 105 Hybrids at 2.82" COAL over 42.2gr of H4350. I shot out close to 4 barrels with that load and never had to tweak anything.

 

[Dooby]

I think GAP uses "GAP Spec" unless noted for the 0.170" fb.

OOPS nmind my bad, i meant for the 6GT

 

[huntnh]

@Hollywood 6mm 42.2 what velocity were you getting? I bet it was cooking

 

[huntnh]

I know there has be more than one 6cm out there

 

[Hollywood 6mm]

@Hollywood 6mm 42.2 what velocity were you getting? I bet it was cooking

From a 26" i was getting 3080-3120 depending on the lot of powder.

 

[huntnh]

Took the new 6mm creed ppr to the range today for break in and a few groups with factory ammo. Gun really likes Hornady 108 match two five shot groups produced one hole about 3/8. Federal loaded with 105 Berger hybrid not quite as good just over half inch. Very happy with my first outing can’t wait to start load development!
