Had a Browning XBolt long range hunter in 300WM that wouldn't shoot anything under 3 inches at 100. I tried everything from 165s to 215s. Factory and handloads. It shot baseball size groups with all of it.
I just started shooting PRS22 and NRL22 in the PA/WV/OH area this year. I haven't shot a centerfire match yet. Still building my 6.5x47. So I can't speak for the centerfire matches but the rimfire matches have been great. Everyone has been super helpful weather it's giving pointers on how to...

Springfield Waypoint 22 rimfire. 60 rounds down the tube. Comes with everything in box just like new. Decided to go a different route. $325 shipped in US
On your short list should be a Tikka Roughtech or Super Varmint. I read that the Bergaras can be hit or miss but I have a B14 in 300PRC that shoots under moa with factory ammo. And the new Weatherby 307 would also be worth checking out.
This is great. And all 3 are great glass but to me it just proves that everyone's eyes are different. I always try to look through all my options in person because of this. Personally of those 3 photos the MK5HD looks the best. But that just my eyes. The next guy will prefer something else
