Rifle Scopes USO SN3 on GAP Non Typical Hunting Rifle

[merlinnnn]

I just received my USO SN-3 Scope today,
mounted it on a GAP Non Typical Hunting Rifle in 308
with a Templar action, 22 inch Bartlein barrel Manners SL stock &
HS Mag bottom metal. I could not be happier with the outcome absolutely GREAT package!!!!!

I would love to enter something like that in one of our local tactical or F class matches and see how it does.

Easily one of the nicest hunting sticks I've ever seen!

Nice rifle and scope set-up!!!

Just wondering, how old is your GAP build? The reason I'm asking is that I see that your bolt is not spiral fluted and you don't have a tactical bolt knob?? I ordered a GAP rifle w/ a Templar action and was told that the bolt would be spiral fluted and come with a tctical style bolt knob.

I ordered the exact scope too - I was told it would be ready within the next week.

Re: USO SN3 on GAP Non Typical Hunting Rifle

Oh you are styling now.

Range report?

Re: USO SN3 on GAP Non Typical Hunting Rifle

You guys are funny!! OK styling a bit.. The rifle is about 4 months old, George built it per spec as his personal rig. I thought if it good for him it's way more than good for me!!!
Weight is just about 9 all in 8. something.. I really like the bolt, I can sling it either way it just works..

Thanks,

Merlinn

I just got my Gap non-typical in 300WM, mounted a Zeiss Victory.

They are very nice guns!

Enjoy.

Nice setup Merlinn!! I wouldn't mind putting a SN-3 1.8-10 on my Win m70 coyote in 300wsm. Its my hunting rig I'm finishing setting up. Only thing I have left to get for it is the glass. Enjoy shooting your new stick!!

Re: USO SN3 on GAP Non Typical Hunting Rifle

Being a GAP, I'm sure it performs well, but it is also a fantastic looking rifle.

 

[merlinnnn]

Re: USO SN3 on GAP Non Typical Hunting Rifle

Yes it is a # 3 contour Bartlein.

The weight is just shy of 9 lb. without the bipod.

This is hands down my favorite rifle, easy carry, solid as a rock, boring accuracy, and the templar action is just tight, smooth and slick.

The SN-3 is my first USO scope, I had tried the 44-mm objective thinking it would be preferable, but I really prefer the 37-mm. When set at 1.8 magnification the field of view is huge, very clear & bright. I have an Aimpoint Comp M3 on an AR, the USO at 1.8 feels as quick as the M3, great eye relief and sight picture.

At the end of the day, I am happy to say if I had it all to do over again I would not change a thing. And to everyone here's credit with out you all this would not have happened. (and I do think it is a great looking rifle, simple, no frills, rugged function)

Many thanks,

Merlinn
