5 shots with the 300 WSM GAP Nontypical... they flat out shoot ! My next one, in the works already, is a 6.5 4S Templar SA Hunter 6.5 Saum 24" fluted Bartlein barrel # 3, with Vias Brake Manners SL 100% CF stock R&D Precision M5 bottom metal Tuned Rem trigger Already gathering up the brass for it... The 6.5 SAUM has been calling me for a few years and my resolve continues to weaken. A 127 LRX at 3150 should be less than top-end for good brass and barrel life, but still SCREAMING out to 800+ on game.

That's a friend who hunts with me. He shot that buck out here this past November. It was a 300 yard broadside shot. 180gr VLD at 2950fps. That's the non typical with a few add ons. #3 Bartlein fluted bbl, Vias brake, Mcmillan Hunter's EDGE stock, custom paint. Badger M5 bottom.
The GAP Crusader is a larger, heavier tactical style rifle. Pat, Can your buddies rifle hold 3 in the magazine and still feed well? I know most feed better with 2 down! Believe the Badger M5 mag holds 5 down and feeds slicker than you know what...

I have another on order in 260, only difference is a Rock barrel instead of the Bartlein.
I ordered a 260 last month also. Templar action, Bartlein #3 barrel, Hunters Edge, M5 mag.

I've got all the parts sitting here for mine - just waiting on getting the bolt back from having a Badger knob installed. The package should be sent off to GAP just after Christmas. I will do all the coating myself, so GAP will just be screwing on the tube and bedding the stock. It will be a .308. I'm pretty sure that GAP has that caliber down pat.
Rem 700 CM SA McMillan Hunters Edge, ADL Brux 30 1:11 Shilen trigger Talleys Leupold 3.5-10x40 with M1s
I only have about $1100 into the parts, not including the scope and rings, so by the time all is said and done I should have a "cheap" Non-typical

I could like one of those in 6.5 Creedmoor or 6XC. Hey Bob, I got all my parts together for a non-typical inspired 6xc build. Only diff is Crescent Customs is building it. I will be shipping all parts off tomorrow. Maybe get it in April hopefully. I went Brux on the barrel 7.5 twist #3. I am excited.

Here's mine.... All scoped up and on the scale.... I wish I could shoot 3 shot groups like this every day...but I think the rifle could. A 3 shot group at 760 meters: I wouldn't worry about caliber too much. Whatever you get it in, it'll shoot. I wanted something low maintenance that would last forever so I went with a 308. Couldn't be happier with it.

Pat, did I read that right, 2950 with a 180 Berger?! That seems really quick! I could for sure live with that!
Smokepole, really good looking rifle and about what I'm looking for other then caliber. We are getting 3025 pretty easy with a custom shop Savage in 7WSM. We hit 3150 without real pressure signs but backed off as it HAS to be hot. Pretty easy to find loads for I thought.

Is that a fixed 10x S&B and if so, had you any experience with a fixed 10 before you bought? I am curious because I am thinking about one as well.
