Hopefully the PVS-22, since its for the wife's rifle I'm sure funding will be approved!
I have some 139's now and am waiting on the VLD's(Backordered from Cabela's)

Re: New GAP 260 has arrived.....

Man, they really screwed you on that action, the bolt is on the wrong side.

Re: New GAP 260 has arrived.....

Very nice! Give us a range report on the short barrel after you shoot it.

Re: New GAP 260 has arrived.....

Re: New GAP 260 has arrived.....

Todd, at GAP. I poached a few pics of other Hide members rifles and sent them to GAP, the wife threw in her 2 cents and that was that.
I think he did a fine job.

My wife shoots long guns and writes southpaw, bats, golfs and shoots pistols right handed,all with a dominant left eye.
It's hard for me to keep track sometimes.

You still down in AZ? Got a .260 you can shoot it against

 

[mdesign]

Re: New GAP 260 has arrived.....

That is a very nice looking rifle. Gotta like those 20 inch barrels, they make a gun handle so nice.

Yea Bolt...that Zebra looks pretty fine.

Re: New GAP 260 has arrived.....

Now you need some optics for that EFR!

12.8 lbs with empty 5 rd mag and bipod removed.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. The wife thinks its cool. She's crackin' the whip at me to load up some rds. Kinda waitin' for it to warm up a tad too.

Re: New GAP 260 has arrived.....

How about a velocity/load report when you get around to it??? I'm curious about the shorter barrel performance.

Re: New GAP 260 has arrived.....

Do you know how much free bore there is in your chamber? What is the coal with the scenars at the lands? That is a very nice rifle. Im interested to here how they set up their .260 chambers. I had problems with my .260 chamber (not built by gap). Lesson learned.

 

[LegioX]

Re: New GAP 260 has arrived.....

I'll have an answer for you in a few days. Gotta get off work first.

Re: New GAP 260 has arrived.....

lol, very nice man. goin to be building the mrs. one later this year as well.

 

[Timo Turl]

Re: New GAP 260 has arrived.....

How's it shooting ? What sort of mv/distance are you getting with it ? Thx

 

[LegioX]

Re: New GAP 260 has arrived.....

My chronys not working well enough to swear by. I hope to get some numbers in a month or so.
Using 142's from SW Ammo, it shoots very well at 500m. (As one would expect a GAP to do)
I missed shooting 1000m with Crazy Donkey the other day. I was hoping to stretch it out a little.

 

[Papagallos]

Re: New GAP 260 has arrived.....

Which NF is sitting on top of it?

 

[308crosshairs]

Re: New GAP 260 has arrived.....

PVS22 and that rifle goes together like salt&pepper, that will be a great combo.

 

[jeffersonv]

Re: New GAP 260 has arrived.....

Wow! Nice!
I gotta get my wife one of those!
