    Also in Bergara they do 2 versions, with 16.5" fast twist rate barrel and 20" conventional twist barrel. The faster twist rate is same as their 300 blackout rifle, so designed to stabilize heavy (i.e. long) slow projectiles at subsonic velocities. Still seems to shoot the lighter weight ones ok though. If you go down that route I would look at factory ammo with heavier projectiles, as my experience is the velocity loss with the shorter barrel is less with heavier projectiles than lighter ones. Doesn't matter if you are shooting within 200-300m, more for longer range stuff, so that may not apply to you yet anyway?
