My Bergara LRP Elite .308 came with pre-installed 20 MOA rail which I was in process of upgrading (unknown origin for the rail). Upon receiving Seekins Precision rail I was surprised to find out that hole spacing on my bergara premier action does not line up at all.
My Rem 700 clone action has the following hole spacing:
Between 2 front holes (muzzle facing) = 0.862" (standard for Rem 700 SA)
Between 2 real holes = 0.862" (non standard, expected distance 0.607" for Rem 700 SA)
Distance between center holes (2nd and 3rd overall) = 3.25" (non standard, expected 3.627 for Rem 700 SA)
This action uses 8-40 screws as expected for Bergara.
Called Bergara and they were also unsure and offered to free ship barreled action for their gunsmith inspection with turnaround time 6-7 weeks.
Have you heard of this issue with Bergara premier actions? Does that hole spacing sound like any other know hole spacings for other actions?
Otherwise its a great action, currently installed in MDT LSS XL, I am happy with the rifle.
