Yup. Only thing that keeps me from being 100% behind the offerings from Bergara. Even their non-dual roll intended rifles use the same #5 contour barrel. If they’d go up to about a #7..........
FWIW, I’m starting to train folks on some new property in Aragon GA and we have a capability for 400yds. I’m looking at offering a watered down version of the 2-day Basic Precision Rifle Course that I usually run on a 1,000yd range in Pelham TN. All the same knowledge, but we’ll shoot to 400yds, and I’ll include ranging as well. Probably a 10 hour day instead of the normal 8. I will still offer the 2-day in TN, this will be an additional course for the folks that don’t have the time and/or money to go up to Pelham.
If they could just spend less time turning down the damn barrel. I even went into the shop over a year ago and asked if I could get one with a heavier barfel and was told no. Really don't understand their hard on for a no 5 profile.
Thomas Woods at Shadow Hunter Concepts said they have police turn-in HS Precision stocks for $140. That’s a killer deal if they’re structurally sound.
@dougiemac, Mile High Shooting, www.milehighshooting.com, is a good place to look at almost anything long range related. Good choice of Chassis and stocks, bipods, glass, accessories. Not all encompassing, but probably the best long range dedicated shop out there. Well respected in the industry.
Good folks. Not sure if it’s still the case, but many years ago the guy that ran it was a former British Marine Sniper.
I think still the case. That's why they have the big AI contract and Schmitty
@dougiemac , get a chassis/stock yet? Great deal on a JAE. Used, but they are bulletproof.

Killer deal for anyone needing quality glass. I know it's off FB, but coming from one of the best...
I might be biased, but the Nightforce Remington 700 direct mount is awesome. It’s called the X-treme duty direct mount. No lapping required.

I purchased a set of NF standard duty ring set to go on the mount that is already affixed to the gun. Now I just need to learn how to sight this monster in.
Gotcha. MOAR reticle? Also, and a lot of people don't realize this, your NXS has an illuminated reticle.
Get with me. We can get it mounted up properly and sighted in.
