Thread: Gun Porn, show off your new toys

Just restocked my A7 Sako 6.5 GAP with a carbon stock and adjustable cheek rest (stock 1050gm)

Looks good... tell me about the setup... I am looking at doing something with an A7 as well..

I assume an aftermarket barrel in 6.5 for your GAP?

What action length and mag did u use, and what effect on capacity and feeding?

Did u use a WSM action or did u modify a bolt face for the SAUM case? Any issues with that?

Cheers

Built it on a s/h A7 300WSM short action use the original mag, fitted a old 6.5 f-class barrel (trueflite 1x8.5) with the throat shot out(was 30" bull barrel now 24"), hoping to 800 to 1000 rnds from it(maybe), had real problems getting original stock to shoot and comb way too low. Now getting constant 1/2MOA groups with quite a slim profile barrel, 140gn A-Max x ADI2217= 3055fps was hoping to get to the 3100fps but not with this barrel(maybe too many rounds previously). Went together quite easily only problem was the stock, some people get them to shoot no me, too flexible no consistency.
