GAP FN finally !

[mark5pt56]

Well, My plan was to shoot this in the 1k match I did today. But, since it came in yesterday, I went with the AI(.308) and actually did a break in on this one afterwards and then fiddled with some loads I had worked up on the AI. I will shoot this one in the August match after I tweak the Berger 185 OTM's in it. I was kind of spent at the end, but, hey suck it up and drive on.

I didn't have any FGMM with me as a control, but did have the BH's. I find the FGMM has a slight edge in my experiences. The 43 grain charge is the most accurate in the AI, looks like I might just run with the same in the FN. Honest calls on the ones marked-forgot to mark the one on the 1st group of BH's. I fired 6 rounds on the 42.5/43/43.5 loads, usually load 6 in case I have a called flier to give me five in a group. Aimed at the square and adjusted scope low to keep a clean aim point.

It can be better, I know.

Very nice looking rifle, I hope it brings you a great deal of enjoyment.

....The Manners stock is still a little low for me so I'm looking to add a permanent cheek riser...

Why not switch to a different Manners, like a MCS-T4/5/6,etc. in the "A" configuration?

You can have a guy named stockdoc on SH add the Terry Cross cheekpiece.

Beautiful stick. If you don't mind me asking what did GAP charge you for the work?

[Mjolnir]

Interesting because I figured that would cost a lot more. I have an extra FN SPR action. I need to give George a call...

Or you can be a masochist and do it yourself.....LOL

Did ok with it, 15+MPH fishtailing wind. Reference wind calling, #2 was shooting a .338 Lapua, #3, my shooting buddy was shooting a M1A built by Sam Dayton. Those of you around Tidewater know of him.
