Thread: Bergara Scout

@Hillman not the prettiest in my eyes but sure looks like a nice wee toy. What's the scope? Yukon thermal of some Sort?

Apex XD38. Everything is pretty with the lights out!

I bought one a few months ago (Bergara BA13) in .308 and added a suppressor and Aimpoint. While it was not my first choice in terms of visual aesthetics it has proven to be a very well built and easy to handle piece for the bush stalking I prefer. With a little practice it is now virtually silent to operate and the extra addition of some wrap over the stainless barrel and shinny breach has me satisfied it is now as unobtrusive as possible. All in all very pleased and would recommend to any one who wants a well made and no fuss tool for the job.

Interesting choice a night vision scope, any reason in paticular?

Where did he say night vision scope? I assume he meant an H1 or T1 red dot...

There's a 708 in hamills Rotorua with a dpt for $1000... Brad's pretty good at doing deals...

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.

How did you get on with the 45/70 ? I
like the sound of that, interested in accuracy and recoil.

How hard is it to make these takedowns?

Been doing some looking but can't seem to find much information....

They come from the factory take down if you ask for one.

The extra cost is hard to justify my mate has the take down and paid more than I did for a bare rifle.
Mine was cheaper even with suppressor and vx3i leupy

@223nut
From what I can tell you would need to replace the hinge pin with a machined threaded pin/bush and maybe cut a relief in the bit of the stock where the hinge pin goes through depending on clearance.
Wouldn't be a big job for any capable gun smith
I'll get pics of my mates take down version to show the difference if I can get hold of him

Pretty happy with my Bergara 7mm-08. latest results sighting it in at 100m. I was just leaning over a bench, with a solid rifle rest I know I could have gotten the group even tighter than this. Mine is suppressed with a pretty short barrel. Plenty of photos of my single shot on here before. I've Shot over 100 deer with it since I've owned it, does the job.

they're great little guns that's why I bought the second one that is from new re-chambered from 222 to 223 absolutely love it shoots as good as the 308 and gentle enough for the kids to use, love the added safety of only one round when the kids are shooting

Absolutely, if someone is learning to hunt or for a kids gun I would suggest one of these bad boys every day. I personally love single shots, an easy no fuss tool that are fun to use.
