    Not that light man pretty hefty barrel. Recoil is not bad at all, good straight stock with a decently high comb. Felt Recoil is low for a 308

    Yes to me it does have a bit, as you say very light rifle, nothing to them
    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! The guys watching were having a laugh.
    The suppressor calmed it down a lot both in noise and recoil.

    Rinse them with brake clean to get rid of all the oil...then break out the loctite & go mad
    Which loctite do you recommend.

    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.

    Heres a M40A5 clone, well kind of...
    Scope is new.
    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.
