What GAP Can Do

[ohiogunnut]

I had already posted on my new GA Precision 7mm below, but just finished a long day at the range with a couple of friends doing load development and I have to say it was a blast! After optimizing for seating depth (3.3375" OAL) started working up the RL22 at 61gr in 0.5gr increments and finally stopped at 67gr! No pressure signs with an average velocity of 3039 fps shooting 180gr Berger VLD's. Mach at 1 mile... Target picture is of three groups fired by each of us out there just to make sure I wasn't cheating.

Couldn't be happier!

Thats a pile of hardware, at least a couple hundred dollars laying there

Re: What GAP Can Do

Yep, that's the same thing I keep telling my wife (oh honey, it's a much cheaper hobby than golf).

Re: What GAP Can Do

Dang! Nice looking rifle. Can you list the specs for me?

Re: What GAP Can Do

Looks like a great time with the guys at the range.

Just an FYI, when picking up a new rifle, leave the house with an empty rifle case and say you’re headed to the range. When you return home, the rifle goes in the safe and all’s good

Re: What GAP Can Do

Does that gun have the 10/22 mag conversion?


Nice Stick though.

Duracoat or Ceracoat on the paint?

Not sure on how 30calsniper applied it. Up close almost looks like a heat applied plastic. The little mags are for my Ruger...

Re: What GAP Can Do

Really nice looking rifle. Congratulations.

I think I will ask what others must have wondered. Those groups were probably shot from a pretty good distance, right?

Re: What GAP Can Do

Great looking rifle. You might want to upgrade the snuff though.

Oh, but it is. Greens fees add up.

Re: What GAP Can Do

Very nice!

Re: What GAP Can Do

That MultiCam suppressor cover is on backwards. The ridge on the inside by the tag is the back of the cover.

 

[ohiogunnut]

Re: What GAP Can Do

I can claim innocence on that as it is my friends rifle.

Negative. Grizzly is a good choice. I use wintergreen and refuse to pay for high priced crap like Skoal and all the other 7 dollar a can brands.

 

[skeetlee]

Re: What GAP Can Do

Longhorn wintergreen long cut 99 cents a can!! thats how i roll!! More money for rifles and ammo and other necessary items. Nice rifles by the way. Lee

Re: What GAP Can Do

My brother won't count his guns, that way when his wife asks "How many guns do you have" he can answer "I don't know" and if he goes out and buys three rifles the answer is the same. I actually had to go into the business so my wife wouldn't count.

A friend of mine told me to always buy black, synthetic. The wives can't tell calibers from gauges. I do have to keep 2 or 3 rotated to my truck though, I think she counts the safe inventory sometime.

+1 Same the world over...was chatting to one of the old boys at the range a weeks or so ago...he said he'd told his son that when he goes he's not to let his mother sell the guns for what she'd been told they cost!

Great rifles there! Love that AICS in GAP Digital!

 

[03psd]

Re: What GAP Can Do

what are the specs on the OD USO in the foreground of the group pic?

Awesome stick BTW.

 

[ohiogunnut]

Re: What GAP Can Do

Thank you! SN3 3.8-22x44 MDMOA EREK with 1/4 MOA wind and elevation (on my friends stick). Just got done in the reloading room putting a few hundred rounds together to see what this girl can do.

Only debate I've got at the moment on this build is if I want to upgrade the glass. Have an SN3 on another gun and love it, but looking at the PR as well.

Re: What GAP Can Do

ohiogunnut,
How do you like the female velcro on the ACP on the AICS. I was looking for some thing to help keep my face from slipping. I tend to sweat a little

Thanks,
Jack

 

[ohiogunnut]

Re: What GAP Can Do

Being a sweaty man myself, I can appreciate that.

Works pretty well so when your buddy wants to shoot your stick he doesn't scream in disgust following you. Don't like moleskin as it doesn't hold up very well and looks like crap pretty quickly (magnet for dog hair).

 

[jackinfl]

Re: What GAP Can Do

Thanks I will give it a shot.

By the way, those 3 groups are at 1 mile? That is frickin AWESOME!

I think what ohiogunnut is saying is that, with the load mentioned, the bullet is still supersonic at 1 mile?

1 mile is 63,360 inches...to me, one guy getting three groups of around 1" to 0.75" would be amazing....as for three different guys.....well, it would be incredible! I can't even do the maths to work that out as MOA!

I doubt I could even see a 2" diamond at 1,760yds.......

If I'm wrong in my assumption then due respect to all concerned.

 

[ohiogunnut]

Re: What GAP Can Do

Ummm no, I would be changing my profession if I could do that.

The first 6 shot group was mine and I had a fly'er. It was just over 100 yards. During the shoot where I was mostly interested in velocities and ES's/SD's (working up the load) I did have quite a few clover-leafs and a few nearly 1 hole groups. I can say with a high degree of certainty that the gun is more accurate than I am.

 

[jackinfl]

Re: What GAP Can Do

I misread, MACh at 1 mile. Insert foot in mouth. Still good shooting. Awesome rifle.
