egregoreExperience/opinions: Bergara rifles
A couple of their rimfire models (one a semi-auto, the other a bolt) intrigue me. They are made in Spain, I presume in the town of the same name on the north coast in the Basque Country.

pace40Had three .22lr rifles for benchrest competition. Tikka T1X Ace Target, CZ 457 Varmint MTR, and a Bergara BMR-X. I no longer have the Bergara simply because the other 2 out-shot it consistently. Not saying it isn't a good rifle and if I was using it for plinking and squirrel hunting, I'd probably still have it. But for precision, competition shooting, it couldn't keep up.
