I’ve had 2 Bergaras. First one was a ridge sp in 308….. it was a nightmare to get to shoot. Never really would shoot anything consistently under MOA… I got frustrated with it and just rebarreled to a 6cm…
Currently have a Bergara stoke in 6.5 prc… it shoots decent….

I used the gun my dad always had in his truck.
It’s was an H&R single shot 223 with a $40 Walmart Bushell… we shot 55gr pmc fmj’s and I can’t remember a single deer, hog or coyote every taking another step after being shot with it
