Red dot is alright out to 300yds, scope to about 600yds when the operator does his bit. Sure it’s a bit weighty but carries in hand well. Slower than a bolt action, not by much though, to reload. Not a problem if you’re shooting for the pot. Great little rifle, should use it more but use my 223 most of the time.

I have the same rifle in 300BLK. It's my favourite!




Look at the length difference compared to a Tikka. The barrel on the Bergara is actually 0.5" longer than the Tikka.
