I have a Sabatti, and think it is great. I have only had it out a few times, and to a max. of 600 yards.

I preferred the feel of it to the Ruger PR, everything felt just a bit more well made with less rattle.

Thanks for your help, one of the members of my local club was selling his Bergara B14 immaculate condition with low round count so made him an offer.

At my local range 6.5mm ammo is popular so it’s easy to get hold of which is ideal otherwise I would of considered a .308

If the quality of Bergara barrels (I have three) is anything to go by, you've made a very good call.........

Fortunately for me it was brought down to the range prior to buying. So I could get a feel for it as well as being able to shoot his custom home loads and factory loads. I liked everything about it the trigger was light the stock was comfortable and it looked decent. One happy customer!
