No longer see any listed on GB. What happened? Was looking to own one in the future.

It's mine, but please don't bid on it, I sent it to LF for a reason. I personally know 7 other guys who have the same gun (we had our LGS order 8 of them from the same distributor), and none of them shoot under an inch with factory loads. The triggers suck, mine averaged 7.5#, with a ton of creep. I tried both 20, and 25 grain ammo from all three that were available (Winchester, Hornady and American Eagle), and it really popped my balloon, so to speak.
If I had found some ammo that shot relatively good, I would have spent the money on an aftermarket trigger, and seen if it would have made a difference, but couldn't seem to make the expense vs. the reward worth it.
I did have a pile of ammo for it, since I started buying it when I could find it before the gun arrived. I sold it locally, and found that everyone that bought the ammo had a Savage, and said that it was good stuff.
I did take a bit of a bath on the ammo, but the gun is about $100 over what I paid for it, so maybe I will come out even...
How is the Bergara 22 thing going??
