[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 2042406, member: 99039"] Not sure what you did with the rifle, but instead of selling the rifle, have you thought about sending it off and making it a semi custom rifle? You have the action, you could send to a gunsmith of your choice, or send it to Hart Rifle Barrels, have them true the action add one of there barrels of your choice and chambered to your choice. When they send it back, change the trigger and definitely upgrade the stock, Boyd's has the most options on types of stocks than McMillan, have it bedded and I bet you will see a tremendous difference in accuracy. On what you mentioned on the Bergara, I own one and have purchased two, one for the Grandson in 7mm Rem Mag in a B14 HMR and I have the same in 6.5 Creed, the 7 mag has shot MOA out of the box with factory ammo, with my handloads it is shooting .5 MOA with less than 100 rounds out of the barrel. The 6.5 Creed, for some reason has taken me longer to have it shooting .5 MOA, it has less than a 100 rounds also, but have stopped load development since deer season kicked off, plan to resume it again very soon though.
