[QUOTE="fnlights, post: 2647040, member: 117046"] Not exactly the same situation, but I wasted an insane amount of H1000, Berger 215's, and Primers trying to get my Bergara Premier in 300WM to shoot anything less than 1" at 100 yards and struggled. I finally ended up bedding the stock and switching to Berger 205's and got a group just under .5". I thought all was well in the world until I took it on my first elk hunt last week and before the hunt even started, the entire sling swivel came loose - which is not ideal on a hunt in Colorado - so I pulled the action and used some super glue to have a temporary hold so I did not have to carry my rifle everywhere - went to the range to just make sure everything was good and the gun shot like absolute garbage. It couldn't maintain a group under 3" at 100 yards. Needless to say, I put that gun right back in the case and ended up using my dads Christensen to kill my elk. So as a heads up, always make sure to keep an eye on that front sling swivel because the design of it is absolute garbage. After I realized my issue, I searched through the Bergara owners FaceBook page and see that it has been an issue with others. While I have never sent mine back, unfortunately, I do see Bergara just getting a sub moa 3 shot group and telling you the rifle is good to go. [/QUOTE]
