Re: bergara barrels?
At one time there was a group buy on them here, but after seeing the limited twist rates offered I passed on the deal. I have no feedback on how they shoot.

FWIW, you can go through Jim Northland and get a Shilen barrel with a barrel nut for your Rem 700

Re: bergara barrels?
I was just wondering the same thing yesterday, apparently, they contacted a US barrel maker, like shillen, to setup the factory, he told them most of his secret on how to make a great barrel.
that's all i know.

Re: bergara barrels?
My stepdad put one on his Thompson Center ML, and it shot lights out!! He was so impressed that he tried another in .308, but it wouldn't group for beans. Returned it, put up with their run arround for a few months, took delivery of a 30-06 replacement cause they were out of .308, chamber was to tight but grouped great. Returned it, and finally recieved a .308 without issues.
I personnaly would pass on the Bergara, but when there right, they shoot!

Re: bergara barrels?
I ran some tests on a couple and was amazed at the accuracy! I, personally, highly reccomend these barrels. I shot bullets ranging from 110gr to 175gr and they all performed quite well from both 26" and 18" lengths. I could go on, but I'll let the photos do the talking.
<span style="font-weight: bold">26" Rem 700, Manners Stock</span>
<span style="font-weight: bold">110gr V-Max Handloads</span>
<span style="font-weight: bold">18" Rem 700, Manners Stock</span>
<span style="font-weight: bold">175gr SMK, M118 (3 round group @ 100yds)</span>
I don"t recall how the 168gr SMK Federal GM Match performed and couldn't find the data. However, the worst group (4 rounds) was 155gr SMK Palma load ES: .650"V X .200"H (had 3 touching, dropped 1 out the bottom)
Just my 2 cents, but for the cost and considering I did the install at home I'm a happy dude.
