[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1903629, member: 104268"] I've got no dog in the fight, as I've never owned any of those rifles, but some things to consider... 1) There are a fair number of reports that the Bergaras suffer from some quality control issues. Many folks get great ones, but there's a concerning number of posts around the interwebs about troubles. I hear their customer service is good though. 2) The X-Bolts usually work great, but there have also been more than an average number of issues reported with those as well. Also, they are a bit "proprietary" compared to Tikka/Rem/Savage, and the accessory market is not as good. I believe they have odd threads on the muzzle, there aren't as many trigger options, and rebarreling them is a problem I think. All of that wouldn't be much of an issue if you get a good one, and don't plan on messing with it from its factory configuration. As mentioned though, the above is all second hand, so take it for what it is. [/QUOTE]
