Bergara B13 take down, any experiences?

[Tyla 3,179]

As above, I have an open slot for a 308 and been tempted by one of these. Has anyone shot one or had and experience of one?

Thanks

No sorry but I do envy you. I've always had a soft spot for these type of rifles and I love 308.

Would you go for the 20" barrel? I know I would.

I'm not sure. I'm torn between the longer range of the 20 and the handling of the 16.5

I wouldn't be to fussed about a large can. A small one would do me. Or one that comes back.

I personally would have to be able to shoot it offhand in a pinch. 

That is just me.

Hope you get one

Thats good to hear. How do you find the accuracy, build quality, finish, etc?

It has a tight action , light and crisp trigger ,the stock and fore end sits firmly against the action. The stock are hmm plastic ( its my first syntetic) it still feels nice to hold then shooting, my has thumbhole grip so i have to take out my thumb to cock it. The trigger are light and crisp, the rifle feels like a proper gun then you hold it not like the minigun it looks like. Accuracy has been mixed some bullets bad groups and other it shoots well so now I have 3-4 good loads but other just acceptable for plinking on short range. The action has a thin finish which already has some marks on it. You are welcome to come and try it I have some sierra 110gr varmint loads for Beaver.

Thank you. I am very keen to take you up of the offer of a beaver hunt! Covid has interfered in several hunting trips and it's getting very boring now
