Thread: Bergara Scout

Hi, have been looking at buying a Begara Scout single shot in .308. Has anyone got any positive/negative feedback on these i.e accuracy? Looking for a short barrel bush gun for deer, any suggestions?

Good bit of kit. I have a 44. With supp and subs it goes Pfffuthh through strainer posts at 50 mtrs.. Accurate yep strainer posts die hard ha ha

Extra baffle on the suppressor made a bit of difference. No recoil 18 yr old tiny niece loves to fire it ...

Any idea what it shoots like over 50m, say 100m+?

It will shoot hit 40mm x 60 mm gong at 100 If I get it right fairly regularly...

Sounds like enough to drop a deer! No faults or flaws? They seem like a sweet little package.

Accuracy is very good. Good slim rifles to carry.

I am picking that the same rifle in 308 is likely to be a bit more accurate than in 44 mag over distance

They could be lighter...

They are hefty for the size, but @Happy s one is pretty light with scope, suppressor, steel rings and rail. The 44 bergara is very accurate when compared to a Rossi lever rifle. The .308 should be good

Great little rifles I have one in 300blk

I have two, a 44 Mag and a 308. The 308 balances nicely with an DPT Overbarrel suppressor, but it's really a short range (200m max) rifle and is out of balance with a bi-pod. I'm just working up a load for it and it looks like 150g pills will work best. I'm going to try 30.30 projectiles at reduced (2,200 fps) velocities. Currently I'm using Sierra 150g SPs over 45g AR2208. Having said all this, I will be using it at distances under 100m in the "thick stuff", mainly on Sika and occasionally Fallow.

i have one in 308 that i am going to sell if you are interested like new nice little rifle for the tight stuff mp me if you interested

I have a 45-70 B13 arriving in the next couple of days.
I got it shortened right down and made into a takedown. Plus I've got a massive custom silencer for it. I'll put up a pick once I got it. Damn keen to put my subs through it.
13.2grain trailboss with a 415grain cast bullet at 1040fps.

It is going to be noisy on take off and on landing :-)

45-70 13.2gr Trailboss fun.

Or full strength.

So, I suggest this set up.

Greg @ CustomGuns Invercargill did it for me.
