[QUOTE="Doug Herold, post: 1470663, member: 102658"] Gotta agree with “The Mud” here. I own a recently constructed custom 6.5 Gap4s. The custom builder out of Bend, Oregon “used” to be a friend before I agreed to have him build me this rifle: radial break, carbon “proof” barrel, Tuebor titanium action, Jewel trigger, carbon/Kevlar custom stock. The gun has been a nightmare. I would agree with everything Mudrunner says. This thing has been nothing but trouble. The LATEST is: “the brass issue”. I wanted to acquire enuf brass to get me through the expected life of the barrel. Before the gun arrived, I bought 100 pieces of brass from Georgia Precision. I figured once I got the load worked up, I’d buy enuf to get me through. So I recently contacted Georgia Precision: No one answers the phone, must leave a message, someone tries to play phone tag back with me in a few days, mailboxes all full. Ohh and, no brass for sale from the creator of this great new wildcat which is taking the planet by storm...! So I telephone Midway USA. Great Customer Service. They actually have a phone, answer it, and are competent. They tell me that they don’t sell Gap4s brass, however, Copper Creek Cartridge Co. does. Great. I order 100 pieces. They arrive promptly. $300 for 100 pieces of brass. Hey, it wasn’t the price I was quoted, but if I want this gun to shoot, I gotta have them, right???... I gotta 6.5-284 coming from Cooper. Thank goodness. You’re right, Mud [/QUOTE]
