TARGET PIC ADDED!! GAP Crusader .308 2000 round review.

[BongoBob]

I just passed the 2000 round mark with this rifle...couldn't be happier...still easily shoots 5 shots into the .2s and .3s at 100 yrds when I do my part...last year at my first 300 yrd F Class comp I shot a "possible" with it. This thing makes me smile!

*** UPDATE ***
OK, I tried a new method of measuring distance to the lands...long story short, my measurements were a bit off from where I thought I was regarding bullet seating depth etc. I started tinkering around with COAL again and tweaked a load this rifle really likes.

155g SMK (#2155) 44.5g Varget - CCI BR-2 Primer - Seated .010 into the lands. (2.220" as measured on the Hornady comparator)

These are two 5 shot groups at 100 yards, both measure in the low ".2's"...both had 4 shot groups measure in the .04 to .03 range! HAPPY!!!

Man that rifle is ###y as Kate Beckinsale! I always liked that paint scheme, always ended up up with something else because that is what was available at the time. Nice to hear it working well for you, nothing like a reliable rifle that you can go to anytime and just pound the targets with! Congrats.

I've seen that rifle shoot.... it's pure awesomeness! Once in a lifetime ownership!

Cheers,

[BongoBob]

Thanks for the nice words guys, yup...she's a joy to shoot, built like a tank and offers no excuses...if you miss it's your fault, not the rifle's...lol!

 

[N0M4D]

Same with my t-wolf, when u get that perfect group, and then out comes the straggler, you have one of those "you f# king idiot..." moments. Any target score u can show and tell?

 

[Boomer686]

Shame the Canadian dollar has gone the wrong way.

But I will have the same rifle some day.
