[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 1619987, member: 34818"] I am the person that started that other thread about my problems with my Bergara rifle. I am sure there are more Bergara rifles made that have no problems than ones that have problems. But from seeing pictures of others primer strikes on cases (and the primers being cratered) I can tell you that the firing pin hole is an issue with a lot of them. Whether it’s enough to pierce primers or not is dependent on how big that hole is which is scary. I could have sent my rifle back to them and they most likely would have found nothing wrong with it and sent it back or they could have replaced the bolt but I didn’t want to take that chance when I can spend $143 and be done with it. Should I have to spend $143 more to fix the problem? No, but it is what it is. Can I recommend another one? I can’t really because of my problems and what I had to do. But there are more people shooting these rifles than me and a lot of them have had no problems. So take that for what it’s worth. Take all the info and formulate an educated decision from it. The action is super smooth, the trigger is ok and the thing shoots really good. I mean really good. 100 yards with a 215 Gr Berger. [ATTACH=full]131186[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
