Good shooting bxroads!!!!! I am not so sure--on the first target he missed the white circle every time, and he is not even close to orange diamond on the second.

I have the equivalent of a GAP Non Typical .280 built on a 700 action. 6lb 14.6oz w/ a 24" Broughton barrel. Edge Classic stock, 'tactical knob' being changed back to factory bead blasted stainless to match, & Edge stock being inletted to fit barreled action. Stock was originally inletted for #2 Hart with a 1.5" shank. Has 40 rounds down the tube and I'll post some 'pre' pics later.

Oregonmuley,
GAP will build whatever you want. You give them the specs you want & they'll take it from there. You're not stuck to the rifles listed on their website.
Whatever you have built by them, just know that it will be a hammer!!

Guess I"m off a bit on the pricing thing as i'd be hunting for best prices on all my stuff, and then all I do is have the barrel put on, and bed the rest myself, I get off on a tangent thinking that everyone does stuff for themselves like bedding if they are a gun nut anyway...
IE I don't see that a bedding job costs 100-200 bucks... it just ain't that hard to do and do a perfect job of if you do it a few times.... things like that add up quick.
Thats where I missed it I suspect.

Pillar bedding is the easiest thing in the world. Its only one minor extra step. Cut a couple of pillars and set them in place. You don't use contoured pillars, use flat top ones and devcon fills in better than a contoured pillar.
Drill 2 holes, put pillars on action, add mud, mud stock, set in place all at once.

Yeah, I know how to do it, and have done it more than once. Done right, it is not the "easiest thing in the world" I can assure you. To me $200 for a proper pillar bedding job is a steal and I'd pay that long before I'd do it myself, assuming I trust the person to be as meticulous as I.

Guess its different all over. Would take me many more hours to earn 200 to spend on it, than it would to do the work myself.
To each their own I suspect, has to be cause the high dollar places are still in business.
Probably why they still sell Caddy's Lincs and Mercedes too.
Sorry for draggin my cheap opinion into it.

Nah, don't be sorry. There's just more than one way to skin a cat. Different strokes for different folks.

Bx, Nice shooting with the five shot groups!
I have a stainless M700 WSM donor that I keep thinking I will eventually send to GAP for a rebarreling to a Schneider. I just need to make up my mind for either a 300 WSM or 7 mm WSM.
Which barrel is on your GAP?

The Rock has a Rock barrel! I've a sporter weight 300 win with a Rock that shoots very well too. I've previously had other 308 calibers with Rocks that were impressive. If 308 is your caliber, go with a Rock.
