So I just took delivery of a new stick. This is my first high-end/custom rifle, and I have to say I am extremely impressed. I started shooting a bolt action rifle February of this year and I was instantly addicted. I quickly progressed and have since gone through 2 rifles before this one (Rem SPS-V and 5R). There have always been a few things with these rifles that I had to make some compromises as far as accuracy vs equipment. The 5R was a great rifle, but once I found it ideal load I couldn't use a magazine and I couldn't compete very easily with a single shot rifle. If I loaded to fit in a magazine I'd sacrifice accuracy. So I looked into getting the rifle re-chambered first and it was more cost effective for me to get a custom rifle. Enter GA Precision.
I placed an order with GAP and everything got started. If you don't already know, there is no question about GAP's quality, it is hands down the best and they have the reputation to prove it. This can be said for a lot of companies, but one of biggest aspects of the company is how they treat their customers. At the beginning there was a problem with my order that could have been a big deal, but I was well taken care of. George went the extra mile and took care of me and my order. I have never had a situation like this go so smoothly and because of that I will be ordering my next rifle from them. I am go grateful and excited to have ordered from GAP. I received an excellent rifle and I received the best customer service from any company I have dealt with.
In my opinion if anyone is looking for a great rifle there is no reason not to call GA Precision. Give George, Karey or Tracy a call; no matter what you won't regret it.
I also dealt with Tom and Christie from Manners Stocks. This is my second stock from them and they are equally as friendly and supportive. They always come through with a top-notch product!
Now on to the stick! I will shoot it tomorrow and see how it does, but I have no doubt it is a driver.
Templar Short Action .308
24" Bartlein stainless 5R barrel/1:11.25 twist #7 GAP Contour .920 at muzzle
Finished in Cerakote Black
Manners T4 with 90% Carbon and mini-chassis
Nightforce F1
Weight as pictured: 15.4lbs
I choose all black because I saw how well Cerakote holds up. I can just paint it and strip it later if I want. The action is butter smooth, the crown is amazing and the fit and finish is incredible. It can use AW mags, which means it can be top fed, and the chamber is just were I want it. I can seat the bullet 1 thousandth into the lands and I can still use a mag. Heck, it's still to SAAMII length!
Thanks again George, Tom, Karey, Christie and Tracy!!!
