Hey All,

I'm new here to the site, but I've been around the block a time or two. I've been an AR and .45 1911 guy for a long time and spent quite a while working for Uncle Sugar and walking the thin blue line.

A few weeks back I picked up a Remi 700 5R 20" Milspec with AAC threading, put a couple boxes through it and was really impressed. Well, as fate would have it, I happened to see a like new GAP Cutstom on GB and jokingly threw a bid which I expected to be much lower than that actual reserve. You could believe my shock when I met the reserve, and over the course of 3 days only had one person attempt to outbid me. Well holy crap, I won!

In about a week I'll have a less than year old, brand new, (30 rounds through it per the owner), 22" 5R Bartlain fluted, Badger Ord loaded, GAP in my possession! Man am I stoked! Right now I have a Leupold Mk4 LRT on the Remi and I considering trading the whole lot in for some new glass for my GAP, but I haven't decided for sure.

The photos I've seen show this baby to be mint and I can't wait to get her! Seller even provided me with an original order form so I could see all the specs. Did I mention I was excited! And now I just heard about this place called Rifles Only and found out I only live about 2.5 hours from it! How many MOA is that?!?

As soon as I have her I'll get some photos up!

always nice to win the lottery; but, I beg of you, leave this site before it costs you too much money

no just joking. I have learned more on this site this past couple of years then I probably could in a life time of just reading by myself with zero input from others.
 
Re: New GAP in route!!!

Your route around the block must not take you past France?! *En route

Seriously though, beautiful rifle. What optics would you go for if you sell the Remi/Leup? Just make sure you don't trade-in an accurate rifle!
 
Re: New GAP in route!!!

Yeah that's why I'm not sure what I'll do yet. Part of me says throw the 5R in the safe for now and put the Leup on the GAP until I can afford to trade just the Leup in. Thinking of a NF but not sure yet. Want something that's MOA not Mil and has some good magnification.
