Bergara Does AR Barrels Too

Bergara Does AR Barrels Too

The first time I ever heard the Bergara name was at a friend’s house, examining his new custom bolt gun that he said had a very accurate but rare barrel from a company in Spain.  I wasn’t reacquainted with the Bergara brand until a long time after that when I was given the opportunity to review Bergara’s Premier LRP and HMR rifles.

Head-to-Head: NEW Ruger Competition 10/22 vs. Custom 10/22 Build

Head-to-Head: NEW Ruger Competition 10/22 vs. Custom 10/22 Build

Ruger, at long last, has taken notice of the aftermarket 10/22 world, and late last year the company’s new Custom Shop put together the 10/22 Competition Rifle. It’s a sweet shooter, and it comes with all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a premium .22 firearm.

But how does it stack up against a custom build? That’s the question I wanted to answer, so I reached out to one of my gun buddies who owns one. Before we get down to the nitty-gritty, you should know a few things about Ruger’s new Competition 10/22.
