This is a Bergara Premier Approach in 6.5 Creedmoor. It will come with a 20 MOA Talley Rail with the integrated anti cant level. This rifle has the 8-40 mounting screws, so it is a $100 rail. It will also come with two magazines (5 and 3 round). It has been fired 27 times and I followed the recommended break in process. I bought it during hunting season last fall. I zeroed the scope, and killed a deer at 200 yards with it. I took it to the range a couple of weeks ago with some handloads I had left over from development for another rifle. I'm not a great shooter, but this is what I got with the only four loads I tried.
140 ELD-M 41.0 gr RL 16 in new Hornady brass 2.81" OAL- .27" 3 shot group
140 ELD-M 41.5 gr RL 16 new brass 2.81" OAL- .51" 3 shot group
140 ELD-M 42.0 gr RL 16 new brass 2.81' OAL- .43" 3 shot group
147 ELD-M 41.0 gr RL 16 .97" 5 shot group
I fired a fouling shot before each group since I was cleaning the barrel between groups to break it in. Those were all sub MOA as well.
According to Bergara, this rifle is 8.5 lbs and it has a 24" barrel. All the specs can be found here. https://www.bergara.online/us/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2019/01/2019-Bergara-Catalog.pdf
$1275 plus actual shipping cost for the rifle with the Talley rail and an extra magazine.
I would consider a CVA Scout or Hunter with a 20" barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor, 243, or 7mm08 for a partial trade. I'm also looking for a lightweight 3-9 scope.
