Bergara was well know for quality barrels before they started marketing a rifle, yours sure does show that quality and not break the bank. awesome shooting
MRC makes a really great product, I have an X2 in 26 Nosler. One thing is for sure is that they are understaffed and overworked. The can be unresponsive. My rifle took 5 months from order to delivery, WAY longer that quoted and I almost cancelled several times but had patience because it was the...
Would like to see a
140gr 6.5mm E-Tip
160gr 6.5mm Partition or AB. Not too long a bullet but better BC than the Interlock RN and more pointed than the Woodleigh Weldcore PP SN and the 156gr Norma oryx
To be very honest even though I would like to have another MRC X3 in 6.5 PRC as a little brother to my 26N X2 the mesa is really catching my eye. It can be had for less than $1200 whereas the MRCs are now $1600. The mesa also has more standard features that are extra charge on the MRC. Weighs...
10mm and a 1911 goes together like peas and carrots. And in a Kimber even better. I own 2 Kimbers now and quality and accuracy are exceptional. It will be my next 1911 for sure. I too want the TLE II but the long slide target is calling to me but being a 1911 purist that fiber optic front sight...
So far the Mauser M18 in 6.5 PRC(savage and Ruger are chambering it too!!) and the 350 legend new cartridge from Winchester, not in their bolt rifle but as an AR round.
what do you like so far?
Several years ago I bought a Super Shadow in 7 WSM for pretty cheap and did a factory OEM part replacement of the ugly flimsy bumpy space stock and ordered the synthetic FW stock and standard bottom metal direct from Winchester. The rifle turned out great and was an excellent shooter with 139 gr...
With the exception of my first deer in '83 with a 30-06, every deer I took from '84-'02(in 02 I got my first 300 WSM) was with a 308. we used ALOT of IMR 3031 back then. 43gr and the 150 BT got me to about 2750fps in my sawed of little mauser and a fixed 6x. killed deer from 20-300yds with that...
I like that Marlin re-released the 1895 Big Bore in 444 this year after being dropped for a while. 1:20 twist 22 in barrel and the short mag tube holding 5.

I have had or have many former and current military cartridges in my stable. 45-70, 45 LC, 6.5x55, 7x57, 30-40 Krag, 30-06, 45 ACP, 38 SP, 308, 223, 9mm. in order of age.
I know there are several 348 shooters here so you will be happy to know Hornady has a new 2019 product for you. 200gr FTX Leverevolution ammo, listed at 2560 FPS.
So for this purpose I would go up to a 180gr. the federal Vital Shock swift A frame BJHP, 1130fps 510 ft lbs fits the bill. If I was using a 158 I would want the extra "spit".
