20" barrel in .308 and 24" in 6.5CM.

RUAG AMMOTECH UK are the importers I believe.

OHHHHHH that's a good looking thing can't say the technical thing is my cup of tea but I like that one,

any idea of cost ?

Just for the guys and galls that are interested of course not that I could be tempted in any way whatsoever even if I'd did come in .260 thankssign

Well this is odd.

Just received my bmp and there isn't a barrel nut for easy replacement of the barrel, you can see it and the castleations clearly in the picture above and all reviews talk about this feature.

Am I being dim?

At the show the one I handled had it too.

This BMP I have has a standard barrel fitting pictured on bergara.com now show no barrel nut and don't talk about it either.
Seems they've quietly dropped it which is a bit sneaky especially as it seemed like a good idea to me and one of the reasons I went for one.

Should have just ordered an rpr but I like to be different

I notice they've also dropped the price.

Did you get the 6.5CM?

Really? I laid the same price as wyoted when I ordered it 4 or 5 months ago. Have I been stiffed there too. Yes 6.5 cm

Edit seems I got it at a very good price, very but I got a discount as a good customer.

Got a reply back from bergara Spain saying it wasn't communicated but they made the change to increase accuracy.

Hmmmm save money in manufacturing more like?

Ruger RpR seem to manage ok with a barrel nut.


Does that sound like a good excuse traditional scree in barrel more accurate?

Sorry my mistake I was looking at the HMR model, which is just less than £1100. I'm sure that was knocking on the door of £1200 when they first announced.

It's possible, but they should have completed all of their accuracy testing beforehand.

What does the rifle shoot like?

Picked it up yesterday.

Not had chance to fire it, forgot to get brass and nobody anywhere near or far I drive a lot had any cartridges around.

Going to be next weekend now. I'll let you know.
