Q's For GAP-10 Owners

[3bnRanger]

What is your favorite length barrel for you GAP-10?

I'm finalizing my build options and believe I've narrowed it down to either an 18" or 20" with a Surefire break (extra 2.66"). Most of my shooting will be under 600 yards however throughout the year a venue will be available for 1000+ yard shooting. Not worried about weight and can't think of a good reason to convince myself to go shorter since I have operated alright with our duty 26" sticks. Just looking for opinion and some GAP-10 porn. Also, I don't have any experience behind a PRS stock...is it worth the extra coin on the GAP-10?

I have had both a 22 and 23" I like them both. With that being said I am going to build a 12" or 16" 308 when I can get another lower.

If you're rarely going over 600 then an 18" is fine in 308, but if you plan on going 1k+ and weight is not a factor then why not go the full 22" and maximize your purchase? And the PRS is well worth the money.

Definitely do the PRS!

I forgot to mention My 22" weighs in at 14.5 lbs unloaded with USO 3-17, bipod, sling, and empty mag. So eat your wheaties.

Got a fair share of 1k pokes through my 18" and while I am fairly confident in a 2 rd strike on an e type, I have other tools better.

Re: Q's For GAP-10 Owners

PRS it is! Broker, your setup convinced me to go 22". Kenny is getting the call tomorrow. Much thanks!

That's what I went with. I also got the barrel fluted and a Thunderbeast QD brake for a 30ba installed. Can't wait to get it.

Besides the PRS stock I also recommend the Geissele Hi-Speed National Match-DMR trigger upgrade and the Noveske Switch Block if you plan on using a suppressor.

You are correct, an Average shooter should do much better with a GAP 10. I need my butt off the internet and behind the butt plate more!
