The local Sportsman's has the Sauer 100 rifles on sale in 6.5 PRC for $799? $899? something like that.
Is it worth getting a poor man's 6.5, or just save for the GAP?
If you have the funds... GAP is a no brainer.
If funds are part of the equation, I'd buy the Seekins Havoc. THink Cabelas has them back in stock. Havoc is production rifle that is basically a full custom.
