Bergara single shot

[Oh6]

Yes it would, i don't think going any shorter would be sensible, i think the bergara is looking the better option at the minute

I more meant that going with a BA13 would give you a shorter overall rifle, for any given barrel length.
So a 20" BA13 would, I think, be nearly 3" shorter than an 18" barrel T3

Probably pushing them as Hausken are imported by RUAG, as are Bergara.
(yes, muzzle mounted)

Yes i reckon that's why he's pushing them, what scope do you have on your bergara ?

Weaver 3-10 x 44. 40/44 series. I also removed the Bergara rail and fitted a Durasight one piece ‘dead on’ mount, no point spoiling a short neat rifle with a big scope and bulky mounts.

I will probably leave the bergara rail on, as want to use a photon on it also,

That's what i call a snug fitting scope

 

[North Cornwall Deer]

Got for it!

 

[Jameshenry]

What calibre ?

 

[North Cornwall Deer]

What calibre ?

.243

 

[Jameshenry]

.243

I was thinking about a 243, but as i already have one, i thought i'll try a 222, just for a dedicated night vision rifle mostly,

 

[Jameshenry]

.243

Are you pleased with the accuracy of it?

 

[North Cornwall Deer]

Are you pleased with the accuracy of it?

Yeah, spot on!
I’d just get another .243 if I was you can do everything a .222 can do and more and legal for all U.K. deer species. Great no frills woodland rifle.

 

[TheCornishman]

Can vouch for the Wildcat... really pleased with mine. Tames the bang is easily cleaned & pretty durable from my experience

That's a muzzle mounted isn't it , think the guy in the shop was pushing the same mod, personally i prefer the over barrel mods, wildcat evo seems to have good reviews and reasonable price

Yeah i did think about it, but always fancied a 222,

 

[Jameshenry]

Collected rifle and moderator today, not had chance to try it out yet,

 

[Jameshenry]

Zeroed it in with some cheap ppu fmj ammo, about 1" group, just shooting out of my truck window so not an overly good rest, put 3 Norma 40 gr vmax through it, and to say i'm delighted is an understatement !

 

[Woodmister]

Looks great that mate! Nice setup with the wildcat mod! I think I’ll stick a variation in! Lol

Nice. What is the trigger like and what is the safety arrangement?

Nice. What is the trigger like and what is the safety arrangement?

Trigger is a little on the heavy side if anything, but still very usable, not put a scale on it , but i would say 3-4 lb, there is no safety catch on it , but as it's a hammer action there isn't really any need, you can carry it with a round in the chamber , and cock the hammer just before firing, there is a failsafe built into it that if you slip the hammer whilst cocking it won't fire, has to be cocked back fully and trigger pulled to fire, i actually think i'll feel safer carrying this than my sako 75, just off out to try and zero in my photon on it,

 

[1894]

Thank you! Can you cock it completely silently?
