Ive gone to a few prs events in as many months & scheduled to attend a few more here coming up. Indeed Ive looked & even tried a few very nice rifles. Using their dope & hardware, I had no issue hitting 1180 -- yup, very addictive.

So, I'm all in to learn but I need to temper my initial purchases with the anticipated costs associated with continued education/practice.

The Bergara seems like a good middle & not something I will outgrow before the investment has paid off. Least that's the hope.
