Would love to have one to play with!  Looks like a sweet rifle.

I agree it would be really sweet to shoot one... I wonder how well it groups compared to a GAP gun.

Send me one of each and I will test that for you.  Big Smile  Interesting question.  I guess I would put my bet on the GAP, but for the price, the better both be very, very good!

I'd take a GAP gun over the Barrett any day and for half the price of the Barrett!

Would love a GAP, but have been throwing around the idea of building my own rifle.

Having trouble deciding on several factors.  I have the crazy idea of finding a nice Military Mauser 98 to build on, but still am considering a 700 action.  As for calibers, I am open to suggestions.  I have thought about 6.5s, 300 WM, 308, 338 LM.  Not really sure what to do.  Would like to build a shooter for longer range.  I have been shooting long range with my Ruger 300 WM and some with my 270, but would like on that is more accurate.

Robar makes a REALLY nice .338 Lapua.  If you are serious about getting one, you should check them out...

I had heard that, but have no useful experience with that model.  Thank you for the confirmatory information.
