I'm unfamiliar with GAP rifles. What are they? Any pics?

I still remember when I learned of them 5 or 6 years ago. Have owned/own about 6 since. They just shoot.

They look like awesome wolf rifles but a bit rich for me.

Awesome rifles at GA Precision! gun)Little stimulation and a good European answer will follow. You should eventually consider a 6,5 x 68 (pure performance as you probably know), both brass and fab - ammo no issue at all. Or maybe a 6,5 x 65. True rocket - rounds...

That would be my choice!
The 6.5 SAUM aka 6.5 4S sounds like an amazing caliber!

I have toyed with the idea of a 6.5/8x68S Improved and also a 6.5/300 Dakota. The 8x68 brass is less expensive but the 300 Dakota brass will need very little fire forming and has a little more capacity. Decisions, decisions

! Like to hear that you're considering the 6,5 x 68, a classic round for hunting in the Alpes at long distances. RWS is producing ready calibrated 6,5 x 68 (high quality) brass, so no downsizing etc. requested, just load and shoot. gun)MontanaRifleman

That would be sweet to be able to get 6.5x68 RWS, but I can not find it here in the US. Do you know anyone here selling it?

RWS | Rottweil: RWS centerfire rifle cartridges
RWS' English web site. You may look after an/the US - retailer(s) (often in connection with Blaser and Zeiss!) on its site, maybe you know about him/them already. You need to insert your postnr., town etc.
BTW, the fastest fab -ammo by RWS in 6,5 x 68 is going by V0 3505,3 fps, not bad.

Do they sell ammo only, or do they also sell Brass?

I called the Tampa distributor and they do not sell brass unfortunately.

Here comes the american web - site with dealers and the full package. For explanation, RWS is part of the Swiss RUAG - Group.

Of course is RWS selling brass in all countries where you find them, and they do in the USA as I know for sure. 6,5 x 68 is usual stuff in Europe, and when you're ordering it in the USA they will deliver! The USA are the most important marked in the world.
