100% loctitie bolts and bed rail, they are notorious for working themselves loose. Mine did twice. Do either of your release mechs bind up a bit? I'm thinking it's time to take mine backQuote:

It seems ok so far, gona hammer it next week so that should sort any issues
What's the recoil like on the .308? They are really light rifles aren't they?Quote:

I'll be running mostly lighter loads in mine with 30-30 projectiles anyway, I have the 170gr do a bit under 2400fps in the Brno, it will be interesting to see what the speed is with a third less barrel length, probably about normal 30-30 speed.Quote:

Suppressor makes it way better to shoot IMHO & it does have a good recoil pad
Definitely had some kick, probably similar or a bit less than my Brno, but more muzzle lift, noise, and flame! :fire: The guys watching were having a laugh.
The suppressor calmed it down a lot both in noise and recoil.
A new alteration to an old gun.

Latest effort with the Bergara, very much improved on the first.
Better prone firing position, much more dry practice on that trigger & 50 odd rounds.
Best couple of groups of the session at 100m with Federal 175g best, followed by Winchester & last some milsurp which was 4" roughly.
Also managed to bang some steel plates out to 300m(roughly slightly taller than IPSC) & in some strong crosswinds.

I'm assuming this is a .308, if so try Hornady Amax Black 168gr - I went through quite a few different factory combinations before trying that and it just loved it.

Barrel profile & rifling is M40 correct, as are rings & DBM. Stock has incorrect cheek riser otherwise correct, and i went for a more practicle Surefire break.
Bipod & podlock M40 correct.
