    This is the new mini over barrel modular for rifles like Bergara ,and howa 300 blackout on mini action , when not much of the barrel is sticking out of the fore end (95mm). They are rated for no bigger cartridge than 308.

COAL to lands is virtually identical for both rifles so that's a bonus, but cases fired in the Brno and neck sized won't fit in the Bergara so the FL die will get some use. I'll probably use different case brands for each rifle.

    I got a Bergara as well to replace my 300BO AR hunting rifle that horseface confiscated
    Check the bolts on the scope rail tho, mine came loose after 30 rounds today.
    I like it so far though, farkall to it really so there cant be much that can go wrong with it.
    Insanely light trigger, i need much more practice with it to bring those groups in tighter @ 100m
    Its same as yours cept with a longer over barrel DPT suppressor and a nightforce 1- 4 of my dead 3 hundy BO
    Be dealing death to goats or punching holes in paper 1 shot at a time, cause semis are too evil aye.........
    Gona come up with a belt or stock pouch to hold the 308 rounds in a way that hopefully makes it easier/faster to load

    I tightened them before mounting the scope but will keep an eye on them and epoxy the rail if needed.

    A helpful tip is to check all mounts put on all rifles either at the factory or your favorite gun shop especially chain stores...

    Rinse them with brake clean to get rid of all the oil...then break out the loctite & go mad

    I have one the BA13's on order. What is the measurement of the MK2 overbarrel suppressor? Specifically how far back over the barrel does it go @Cigar?

    @Sasquatch mine has the S/S modular Mk2 which goes roughly 120mm overbarrel, so i had to chop bout 20mm off the rifle handgaurd to get it on

    100% loctitie bolts and bed rail, they are notorious for working themselves loose. Mine did twice. Do either of your release mechs bind up a bit? I'm thinking it's time to take mine back

    I haven’t noticed any binding, but the rifle spent the afternoon in pieces while I measured OAL for various projectiles, checked chambering of various cases and rounds and cleaned the barrel.
    One thing I did notice is that the action won’t open no matter how hard you work the hammer I need some serious practice time before I need a second shot at an animal!

    What's the recoil like on the .308? They are really light rifles aren't they?

    Haven't fired mine yet, but they are around 3kg or just under unscoped. They have a good recoil pad, and with the suppressor I expect it will be less recoil than my fibreglass stocked Brno. I'll be running mostly lighter loads in mine with 30-30 projectiles anyway, I have the 170gr do a bit under 2400fps in the Brno, it will be interesting to see what the speed is with a third less barrel length, probably about normal 30-30 speed.
