    My only issue with a single.shot is the need for a back.up shot.....it will happen and you will be farming around trying to find ammo etc, I don't recommend it for the average person. Even though have have shot one or 2 inbound.still fell unhappy not having a back up shot handy.

    Chop a T3 to 16inches and suppress it. They're great set ups. Craigs is a 16inches version in 308 and mine.is 18 inch in 708. Great bush gun

    The only issue I have with Bergara is there is no case extractor when you break the rifle open to slam in another round, just a small detail but if Bergara had added this they would have the perfect single shot. Id have bought a Thompson Center but cant justify the price of them for a single shot. As mentioned above a 16 inch T3 would be dynamite in the bush, I have had a couple of T3 rifles before but didn't chop and suppress them for bush guns.
    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
