GAP has built one complete gun for me and barreled another action.

The complete rifle was a Sniper Country Limited Edition (SCLE) and it is nothing but top drawer work.

The barrel job went a little different. I asked the scope mount holes be opened for #8 screws while it was there. When I got it back the front two holes were oval/oversized and would barely hold the screws. I could have increased them to #10s but that would have required opening up the holes on the base as well. Ended up soft soldering the base to the receiver the way the Germans do with all scope mounts. Once assembled in a McMillan HTG stock rifle now shoots as well as the SCLE.
