Thread: Bergara Take downs. What's the say?

I've got 2, 308 16.5" barrel and 222 20" barrel. They are not light, and there isn't really anywhere you could save much weight - a good chunk is in the actions. But they suit me (I'm a lefty), and they are compact and easy to fit into a pack (so I can take a rifle on bikepacking trips), and is well made and shoots straight.

There are lighter takedowns -I have a Rossi in 308 that is noticeably lighter, it got replaced by the Bergara mainly as I wanted a fast twist barrel to try some heavy for calibre subsonics, and I liked the Bergara 222 so much. The Rossi is going to be sold shortly once I give it the once over and stick a scope on it (if you are keen!). Not the same build quality as the Bergara though, but its ok. Main difference weight-wise I think is that the Rossi (I think its a Pomba?) has a lighter barrel profile (smaller diameter than Rossi Wizard), and the action seems a bit lighter too.
