I've been to the georgia factory where these rifles are most likely made, the price is insane for the quality of barrel, fit, and stock/chassis.

Cheaper than a Ruger rpr and better looking IMO

These are very well built rifles. Ive handled a few of them. If I was in the market for a bolt gun, they would be at the top of my list

According to their Website, they Are Spanish.

It’s cool that they’ve opened a U.S. Facility.

Do they make their Actions & Barrels here too now, or do they ship them to the Georgia facility?
Mixed bag. BPI makes barrels and actions in house for several gun manufacturers. They produce handgun barrels, rifle barrels and actions and muzzle loader barrels and actions. Some if their rifles use barrel blanks from Spain that are then bored and reamed in their GA facility. The actions for the rifles are machined in GA as well.

That’s New Information for me:
When did they start Domestic Production?

I'm NDA'd on the specifics of what I saw/learned at the Bergara facility(and I have been contacted online for saying too much before) but they did have bolt gun barrels in the CNC when I was there.

Depends on your use of the rifle. Just plinking or hunting out of a blind, they are great. They keep trying to market it as a match rifle. It is not. Barrel profile is too thin to keep up a 10/12 Rd string of fire.

Barrel blanks come from their Spain location. They used to make the receivers for Kimber rifles - I believe that ended when they started building their own "proprietary" action - although could be wrong about that portion. All in all good rifles.

Good rifles, but a bit of a bastard. Lightweight for a match rifle, and heavier than most folks want for a hunting rifle. If they'd up that #5 barrel contour to a #7, it would be a sweet precision rifle. It's fine as is, if you keep your strings of fire short.

I wish I knew enough to understand the significance of what you're saying here. You guys continually remind me how little I know about precision rifles.

Thin barrel heat up after a few shots.
Hot barrel sling lead in direction shooter not want it to go...
Heavy barrel good for targets,and long strings of fire.
People no like walking in woods with heavy rifle, if going to shoot once at Bambi.

It's about the perfect barrel contour for the type of shooting/hunting I do.
