Bergara accuracy card

[dlangel]

Hello. This is my first post here, and I did not see any other topic referring to this. For Christmas I got a HMR Pro, and every video I have watched shows that the Premiere line comes with a hand fired card to show accuracy. Mine was missing that from the box, as well as missing the flush sling cups being installed, but that's another topic. When I contacted Bergara they told me they have stopped sending those cards over 2 years ago, but today I saw a pic of one dated 5-27-20. Has anyone else purchased a bergara rifle lately had still got one? It might sound dumb, but that was one of the factors why I ended up with the Bergara was because it was hand tested, and not just put in a machine to check accuracy. Mine just came with a card that said all bergara rifles average .44 moa.

I didn't get one with my 6.5prc Approach either. That was about 1 year ago.

I was actually taken aback for a minute there, then saw were you are from the "Show Me" state

They only put the wallet groups in there. You wouldnt have been happy with a 2” group from test firing. Btw i got one in about a month ago and it had the target in it. 300wm

I bought a Premier Ridgeback about a year ago, no card with mine.

My buddy got an HMR pro in 65 Creedmoor last year he did not get a card with his eitherWe also had problems with it brand new out-of-the-box with four different types of ammo it would not fire anything at all barely dented the primer he had to send it back it took Several weeks he got it back and it work but we were never told what was done to it Spend a little more build or have a custom rifle built for you bergara is good but they ain’t all that

I wonder how Bergara tested the rifle if it would not fire?

Our thoughts exactly and then no target score card makes you think even more that it was not test fired but the bore was dirty when we cleaned it before shooting or attempting to shoot that’s adding to the confusion the only thing I can come up with is the bolt was switched somewhere along the line with another rifle that is the only way we could explain it

Just sold a new Bergara last night. No accuracy card was in the box.

 

[Riesel]

I would say make you own.

 

[338 dude]

I don’t own a Bergara but as I said earlier my friend does it’s not so much having the card it’s opening that new rifle and seeing proof that it shoots very well I guess if they’re not putting a card in it they don’t have the confidence in their rifle

I bought a Premier Ridgeback a couple years ago. 1st time to the range it surpassed their Sub MOA guarantee with both factory and my handloads, but I didn't get an "accuracy card" I'm outraged ,i feel violated ! LOL

What is important is not what they fired and the group they did. It is what you can fire and group best with, now that you have the rifle.

A buddy bought a Sig SSG3000 on clearance at Wal-Mart, of all places.

It had an exceptionally impressive accuracy card included, Norma Diamond Line if I recall correctly.

That rifle is phenomenal. Bone stock. Everything it’s fed goes into groups ranging from great to incredible.

I understand the disappointment of not receiving the factory target you expected.

That is the opposite of intelligent thinking. So I guess every brand that does not put a factory shot target in the box has no confidence in their product according to your logic??? Should General Motors include a a photo or audio recording of your car running prior to purchase? Maybe every car should come with a dyno pull? Maybe we should have every TV ship with a photo of it at the factory passing alignment tests and fidelity test's????

I am going to list all of my rifles that did not come with a target from the factory:
Howa
Winchester Pre 64 Mod 70
Mauser Comcerical Action
3 Mauser 98 Surplus
Tika
Weatherby
Ruger M77
Ruger Mini 30
Browning A Bolt
Marlin 1895
Ruger 10/22
Browning
Remington 700
Ruger American
Savage 12 308
Savage 12 6.5
Mossberg 835
Mossberg 500
Maverick 88
TC Compass

In fact none of the rifles, handguns or shotguns I have ever owned have come with a factory shot target.

Take a box of premium or match ammo go to the range and shoot it. If it does not meet their guarantee call them and send it back.

Factory guarantee's are practically worthless. If you are a 1.5 MOA shooter at best how can you test a 1/2 MOA guarantee? Not you personally I mean this in general?

Nothing more or less wrong with Bergara but like all companies they make some lemons. The firing pin hole is huge for a modern design last I checked. What makes you think any of the mass produced rifles at all the big box stores are anything magical? A high price tag means as much as a low price tag about design, fit and finish. One of the most accurate designs out there is the Ruger American which is a design based around a low price point. Nothing magical about it either.

No offense but I laugh at all the guys that will pay big money for what is essentially a tarted up hunting rifle from many companies tossed in a fancy stock, heavy barrel, AI mag and threaded barrel thinking they have something special. The devil is in the details not the cosmetics or accessories.

Not long ago I think it was "bolt action reloading" that had trouble getting a TIka T3 to shoot under 2 or 3 MOA but most Tika T3's shoot great out of the box. I think he had a Compass that gave him grief too. Every company lets a few turds out the door. Tika is generally know for making a quality product. You can not buy yourself a guarantee of quality all you can do is buy one and see what you see and if it is not right try to get the manufacture to make it right!

If they built the rifle right and it shoots who cares about a card in the box? The OEM told you personally they stopped doing that correct? I wish the OEM's would make the cardboard box the rifles come in better!!

Not about having confidence it's about time and money.
