Bergara

[oc shooter]

well finally got to see and hold a beregara rifle in of all places Thru way sports in Walden NY actually managed to compare Savage Tikka Bergara Ruger and the Sig cross. I have to say imho the Bergara was pretty nice but the Tikka had a better trigger and was smoother over all the Sig was a major disappointment Savage was 3rd and as always the Ruger was bottom shelf. I have to admit you guys where pretty spot on with the Begara not sure why every one thinks that the Begara is a copy of the Remmy 700 cause I took the bolt out and though they are similar the extractor is different the bolt release is different it would be on my radar in the future

It is a remington 700 blueprint just lile a surgeon and Bat rifle among others. Of course it includes features far superior than the a remington like a claw extractor at a perfect 35 degrees. Also integrated recoil lug machined in a single piece billet, push button bolt stop snd timmey adjustable trigger.
In other words features and quality only found in rifles and actions x 3 that price tag. The extractor is better than the badger sako style retrofit.
It is a better value and stronger than the tikka it doesn't mean the Tikka is a bad rifle but two different breeds.
Look at track record with service rifles and competition.
70-80% of the wins go to some sort of R700 blueprint variant built like tanks.
The devil you know reloaded.

Btw bergara started as a high quality barrel maker. Ask anyone who has a new or old Barrel for their Thomson Center and see if you find any complaints. Their tolerances and steel quality as well as the rifling and reaming are dead on every single time. Like japanese with cars and motorcycles think of these like the Kaizen of barrel and rifle making.
