[QUOTE="MyTime, post: 988935, member: 82475"] I don't have any pics but I have an older GAP AR in 308. I think it's 6 or 7 years old now. I got it 2 presidential elections ago when I was concerned with the anti-gun folks looking like they'd win. GAP was offering DPMS lowers or Armalite lowers as a base for the build. I chose the DPMS lower as the base so it would take the Magpul mags. 20 inch barrel. Bartlien barrel 1:11...I believe they are running 1:11.25 twist now unless you ask for something else. I have the PRS stock. I paid $2701 for it, and it is worth every penny. I hand-load and I worked up the best load of Varget at 43.5 grains. COAL 2.81. CCI LR primers. I load Berger 168 grain Hunting Match bullets. The result...I'm always under 0.25 center to center. My best 5-shot string was prone @ 100 yards and it measured 0.39 from outside to outside. When you subtract the .308 it was a center to center spread of 0.082 inches. I stopped shooting for the day after that string of shots, took my target, and went home smiling. That was the best I've ever shot and I couldn't have done it without a capable rifle. I wish I had a photo of that target. I've had eye surgery this year and there is no way I will be shooting that well again. If I ever get a custom rifle again it will be a GAP. I cannot begin to tell you how impressed I am with my rifle. I've met a couple shooters around her (Ft Campbell professional Soldiers) who have told they they have had similar experiences with their bolt rifles by GAP. So a GAP versus a production rifle? There's absolutely no comparison...GAP wins by far in my book. Oh, and they were great to work with from the first call to a couple questions I had after the sale. I hope this helped you. Yes, I am a serious GAP fan...very biased toward them. [/QUOTE]
