 I have plenty of small caliber rifles, but I wanted a .308 rifle. I traded two handguns I never used for this NIB Bergara .308. Really decent rifle for the cost. |

I'd hope it'd be better than decent sir. It IS handsome. What's the scoped weight?

Awesome!
I actually recently picked up the same gun but in 7mm-08 and it's still sitting in the box! I got a Vortex scope from midway that was on sale to throw on it.
I've only been hearing good things about these Bergara's. They're certainly smooth and attractive little guns.

I saw one recently that really did impress me. I've got more rifles than I can shoot, so didn't buy one but if I were looking, I'd seriously consider it.

I like the feel of the actions and Rem 700 compatibility. Factory stocks are good. Heavy barrels make for a heavier gun than I'd normally like, but overall a good value I think.
Should be a straightforward gun to get shooting well.
I think many of them could benefit from having the bolt bushed.

Nice rifle . With an accurate .308 you have all the bases covered . In my opinion it's all you need . I have a small .308 that I carry around the ranch in my UTV , I have killed a pile of elk and deer with it and 4 bears . All with 165 Accubonds pushed at 2600fps .

.308 is my favorite deer round, I have a savage 99 and a CZ 557 carbine.
I would use either for elk in a heart beat. but i have JC Higgins model 50 ,06 that shoots 180 grain bullets to well to leave home...tj

Nice looking gun...a friend is looking at one in .300 WM...
A .308 guy here also...bolt guns, semis, pump and a single shot...all are very accurate...would be the one gun/caliber I would own if down to just one long gun...
Latest is a SIG Cross...hoping to get it out next week...
