New Gap-10 and it's a shooter

[TXAoudadKlr]

Recently took my GAP-10 in 6.5 creedmoor recently and it's a shooter!!!
Before heading out to the range I cleaned the barrel completely and frog lubed the bolt.
The rifle initially had me concern with its accuracy with factory Hornady 129sst Superformance ammo as it had not righted up much after 7 shot rounds I fired 2 more rounds which were a bit tighter then it really tighten up with the next 3 shots and printed a .151CTC group at 100 yards. It might not be your typical hunting rifle but with its accuracy, lack of recoil and ergonomics it's going to make for an excellent medium size game rifle.

I've been wanting that same exact rifle. You're not helping things, lol.

I just can't wait to see how it does at longer distances!!!

Nice rifle. I have a G1 GAP-10 in .308 and it's a shooter as well. I would like to get a 6.5 CM eventually. For now I will keep this one. I haven't loaded for it yet and may not need to. Can't say enough good things about this rifle. It has the 20" barrel 1:10.

3 shot groups at 100 yards using federal fusion.

Here's my target from my first outing with it and the group it shot. I've thought about reloading for it but It's hard for me to want to get into reloading a semi auto. If if continues to shoot like that I'm not going to even worry about it

 

[Jsmith410]

With groups like that's it's hard to justify loading other than cost.

If I reload it will be for the accubond, I'm not totally sold on the ELD-X just yet.

Which accushot mono-pod is on your rifle?

 

[Jsmith410]

BT-12. First ones I've had and so far I like them.

What does your gun wieghs as pictured. Mines 13.5lbs

 

[Jsmith410]

It's a couple ounces shy of 15lbs. She's heavy.

 

[TXAoudadKlr]

Mine will end up being 15ish pounds one I get the bipod and monopod. It sure help with the recoil mine has almost none.

 

[Jsmith410]

Yes it does. I bought mine just to shoot with not hunt so I don't mind the weight. Like you said it makes it fun to shoot.

It surprised the hell out me with its lack of recoil based on my time behind my ar-10. It's definitely going to be more of a plinking rifle compared to my two big boomers.
