I think it is. About 8.75 pounds as pictured, 21" barrel and balances perfectly for a hunting rifle.

I never specified chamber when ordering. I ran 155 Scenars and 165 Hornadys, NPTs and TTSXs this weekend and all with the same charge of Rl15. In every instance, I was able to reach the rifling without exceeding mag legnth.

Two new rifles and a hunt... That explains the purge we saw in the classifieds.
I am sure that we could extrapolate the blueprint but why don't you just put it all out there for us?

I made a bad hit on an oryx because of not being familiar with my rifle and had an epiphany: too many rifles I shoot once and don't use and too few rifles I get to know well.
This one was a year wait, showed up just in time for the epiphany and exceeded my expectations:
-GAP Non-Typical
-21" Bartlein number 3
- Manners EH-6
-Painted GAP camo
-.308 Winchester
-Nightforce 2.5-10x42 Mil-dot in Nightforce lightweight rings
The .300 Win will be identical but with a 24" fluted Bartlein 3, which I think should keep the balance the same.

Words of wisdom.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I would like it better f Nightforce could figure out how to come out with a real hunting reticle. They aren't bold enough for low light in my opinion.

Real beauty. Thinking of something along the same lines myself. I've settled on just about everything except the scope...

I think this one is 1:11.25, but don't remember for sure. I asked for a 1:10 on the .300 that is on order and it strangely is spec'd at 1:10.5.

Did they say they could do 1:10 up front and then changed it to 1:10.5 without asking you? I would be making some phone calls if so, that's not right. I wouldn't settle for 10.5 either. If you want 10, get a 10.

1:10.5 is close enough. Should stabilize what I want to shoot.

I've tried talking myself into a GAP Non-Typical in .300 Win Mag for several years now. Went with several semi custom rifles. Looking back on it all, I should just pull the trigger on one. Great looking rifle, great builder.
All the best things in life, live on the other side off fear.
The true eye sees not the despair of its victims, only the elegance of equilibrium. It's a demonstration of superior judgment.

Very, very nice. The EH6 is an incredible stock, by far my favorite.
