Bergara 223 rifles

[Southpaw97]

Does anyone have experience with Bergara's 223/556 offerings? They are one of the few major bolt guns who are rated for higher 556 pressures and have an AICS pattern magazine in that pricepoint. Hard to find but sounds like the juice would be worth the squeeze

I saw he had one up for sale but it wouldn't let me message him(probably because I'm new on the forum).

Hmm, that may have been a few years ago as I don't have one. They do not have many models in .223 but they did make a model a few years back that was fantastic and I believe was chambered in .223 Wylde to let it shoot the 5.56. I believe the only model hey make right now is the B14 Ridge SP (Special Purpose) and it has a 18" barrel and is chambered in .223 Wylde. See link below but my bet is you could find it cheaper if you look around

I don't have the bergara but I have the cva cascade sb (pretty much the same rifle) and it's stupid accurate

I wish they would make that Cascade 223 with something other than a 9 twist. That's a no-go for me.

If they made it 8 or 7 twist, I would have bought one.
Savage is the same way.

Also why I'm after bergara. Faster twist than the comparable guns in this price bracket

I think their fastest twist is a 9, an 8 would be better.
