Thread: Short range, short length bush rifle?

I will put a suppressor on it and a low magnification scope. Plan to shoot factory Sub-x. Having done a bit more reading, the goats should fall down with these rounds, if they don't, I'll switch to supersonic. I wanted a rifle that was different from my fairly standard Tikka setup. Short overall length = yes; factory subsonic hunting rounds = yes; take down is a bonus for those family tramping trips where I can do a bit of hunting. Only thing I would change is the rifle in stainless steel, but that isn't available in 300BLK. Pretty happy with this choice, but we will see!

DPT do a mini-centrefire suppressor for the Bergara, I have one for my 16.5 " 308, it has slightly less length overbarrel so no need to cut the foreend.
