    Really enjoy your videos. No 10 min talk about rifle specs, just thoughts, likes/dislikes, and accuracy of the rifle with several types of ammo. Thank you Sir!

    Wow that is a good looking rifle. And yes ammo is so hard to find right now. People always get afraid for some reason and stock buy, but like everytime all the ammo will come back.

    Great video man! Very concise information... I’m really struggling to pick one of these up because of all the accuracy complaints. I was possibly considering a 10/22 custom shop. But this is almost half the price.

    honestly i think it comes down to what you want to do with it. for hunting and hucking it around the woods this would be a good option. if you're looking to compete go with the higher end stuff. spend the extra money and get a KIDD.

    Just picked up the steel barreled version of this gun , accuracy was definitely lacking at first, knowing that most 10/22's don't seem to shoot well with the barrel free floated I decided to try it in my Magpul Hunter stock, shot several groups and adjusted the barrel tension screw until the groups were half inch or less, it's now a shooter, with the factory stock most groups were .75 - 1.5 inches. Also the factory mag sucks , many miss feeds, factory Ruger mag is almost flawless. Nice gun but needs a little tweaking. Miss seeing your videos, hopefully you have some coming soon!

    I had a BXR for a short time to play with. Mag would not drop free and the accuracy was not what I would expect for the cost of the rifle also. Best groups were with Eley club and Sk match at 50 yds averaging .6-.7” with best groups of .4-.5” but not consistently printing those sizes

    BUYER BEWARE.....I have the exact same rifle....have tried thousands of rounds of subsonic ammo from Aguila, Eley, CCI, Norma, Selliers & Belloit, Wolf, and SK.....none of them shot consistently close to MOA at 50 yards....I called Bergara and was informed by the customer service manager that they don't guarantee anything under 2.5 MOA at 50 yards......WHY is that fact not stated in their sales literature. ....I also have a CZ 457 that shoots sub MOA with a few of the ammos I tried in the Bergara...
