Is that how the Bergara is designed, or just poor trigger-bolt timing? Actual cock-on-close is pretty rare (even BSA made the LE no 8 cock-on-open).
Thoughts of Bergara 22 RF Rifles

Welcome to the world of 22 repeaters. I have seen issues with nearly all of them. The Bergara's I have been around are pretty good, especially for the price. One of the matches we shoot, the MD has a Bergara, his has been very reliable and accurate in dirty hike & shoot field matches. Fitting the stock, DBM, magazines have a huge effect on reliability.
It is simply a 40x 22 clone. It has all the same advantages and disadvantages.
It's bergera design cock on close. I think it's actually half cocked on open fully cock on. Close. Either way. I'm not a fan of it. Simular to the ruger 77-17wsm I have.
Could you expand on that please? I shoot Prone in the UK, where 40Xs have a very limited impact; I think I've seen one in 25 years of shooting.
They are a Remington 700 redesign for 22lr. It works with the same stocks and triggers. Essentially the same as the Gen1 Vudoo. Remington 40x 22lr was an old single-fed trainer for the military, they were great, but people wanted a magazine fed repeater. They are still great 22 rifles.

What I understand is that it isn’t true cock in close or partial cock on close it is the bolt lug and sear to cocking piece geometry some are better than others , so the bolt cocks on opening then when you go to close it the sear engages the cocking piece first while you pushing forward to engage the lugs
