A hunting rifle can make hits how far? Bergara Wilderness Ridge .300WM Long Range
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- We take an out of the box Bergara B-14 Wilderness Ridge rifle in .300WM and see how far we can make repeatable hits on practical targets. While this isn't a purpose built long range precision rifle you can see the results are actually quiet interesting. Optics we are using a Leupold Mk5 HD 3.6-18x scope with the TMR reticle. Ammunition used is Federal gold medal match with the 190 smk bullet.

We need more people like this on the internet instead of giving data or asking questions, showcasing skill and capabilities of the shooter and equipment
Really appreciate the support! My goal is to make the equipment or the topic of the video the star of the show so I hope you see that trend in each of the videos I put out. Stay tuned!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica would love to see your idea of 300 WM against 300 PRC. Data is great but it would be great to see it applied in reality
@@thebogwalker Sounds good, that's something I can put together! I'd love to see the side my side comparison myself
Agreed!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica you do brother, that's why I'm buying the barret over the ruger presccion
Killed a Utah mule deer this last year at 831 yds with a tikka t3 in 300wm. The most nerve racking shot Ive ever taken, but turned out to be one of the best hits I've ever made. He didn't go 20. The 300wm in a hunting rifle is more than capable.
Oh man I bet that was an epic experience! In my opinion 831 yds is a crazy long shot while hunting but as you found, with the right caliber and solid shot placement it’s very possible! I think the key is practice and having confidence in your gear and your ability.
Couldn’t get any closer? That just seems reckless to me, but to each their own I guess.
@@shaneziegler2555 actually not really on this buck due to terrain. I watched him for over 30 minutes, took 10 min to double check the ballistics, and wind. I spent 5+ years practicing for a long range shot, and 1st round hits at 1000yds+ most of the time. If you know your rifle and you are confident in the data, long range isnt all that hard. I did all the preparation, then dry fired on this buck 3 times before going live. So, is all that preparation reckless? I dont think so. There are never any guarentees at any range, but distance buys you some time to prepare for the shot.
Im a firm believer my deer my rules as long its a clean kill. @suprema-sea_fishing
Appreciate your perspective on hunting shots, and capabilities. Very informative. Thank you.
Very informative and equally instructive. Great shooting also. Unfortunately too many people may confuse the ability to make a “hit” at those distances with making an ethical shot on an elk. There are very good bullets out there which may extend the range of a killing shot on elk. I’m not sure the SMK is one of them but it sure was a good place to start. Keep up the excellent work.
Oh man in no way am I implying making hits at extended ranges is ethical or something the average hunter should be considering. Even if a bullet were effective at that kind of distance it’s far too difficult and too many variables to make a consistent and clean shot at extended ranges…… not something I would support.
Great video . I was making hits consistently out to 700 yards with my sako 85 30-06 on steel . I then missed a nice buck at 268 yards because I only had 8-10 seconds to put the clip in and a shell into the chamber and get leaned against a tree . I was so disappointed. But goes to show hunting situations vs shooting targets were time isn’t a factor and you know your distance. Maybe try a video that someone sets up the targets for you and you have to range it , do your calculations and make the shot in a reasonable amount of time . Just a thought for a video . I like your vids . Keep them coming
I’m learning a lot watching your videos keep up the great work
Love what you do,not of fancy equipment, just you and instinct, that's the way I roll too.
Hands down one of the most informative channels out there!!! Great content brother!!
Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to watch! The goal with each of my videos is to provide entertaining content that provides some time of value to the viewer. Stay tuned for more!
This channel rapidly got one of my favourites! Such a cool guy!
Glad to hear you’re enjoying the content! I’m just a regular guy out here trying to make shooting content haha. Lots of fresh content in the works so stay so hope you’ll stay tuned!
You're such a genuine person, straight to the point. This is an excellent video and you earned a sub.
Man really appreciate the support! What you see is what you get from me…. Just a normal dude out here making shooting content that I hope folks will watch haha
This is so interesting. Most everyone who likes firearms has a hunting rifle. There is something really cool about going long with a light hunting platform.
Enjoyed hanging out with you. Well done. And seeing the impacts through (your scope perspective) is great. Cool to see your windage holds and feels like we are doing it with ya! God bless.
I just got the Bergara HMR wilderness in 6.5 creed. Awesome rifle. Can’t wait to get on the range. Great video!
Very good straight forward video. Great audio and you're an excellent shooter.
Outstanding video! Thank you for spending the time and effort!
Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
I did take a plain 700 ADL in .308 to a LRP course in 21. Fought heat the entire time, but was able to make some 1300 yard hits. A B14 HMR is one of the few guns on my want list, for this very thing right here.
Thanks for the great information.
Love to see you pushing the envelope with these hunting rifles. Always had it in my mind to do the same with my model 70 300wm
You are one of my favorite , keep up the great work
Perfect timing, I actually just got my bergara b14 HMR in 308 and was planing to take it out for some 700yard shooting this weekend. thanks a lot, great video.
Nice! The HMR looks like an awesome rifle, you'll have no trouble with 700yds! Thanks for watching!
Great video as usual. Have been eyeing one of Bergara's B-14s as a new deer and general purpose bolt gun, among a couple other contenders. Good to see the Wilderness putting in solid work at extended ranges with factory cartridges.
Super impressive performance! Don’t think you’ll go wrong with any of the Bergaras
The weight is only issue. It’s heavy for a hunting rifle
@@stevenwalker9013i’m not too worried about a 9.5lb magnum rifle
Nice video! I love how you get right to it with the important information (setup, bullet, distance, ect.) and then just shoot. Too many doing these videos that require you to endure a whole bunch of mindless banter just to get to the shooting. I have subscribed because you just "Shut up and shoot". Great job and video. BTW, I own the Bergara B14 HMR wilderness in both of the PRC (300 and 6.5) calibers and love them both.
Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and subscribe! My plan for the channel is to get right to the business in each video and let the gear do the talking. Really glad you enjoy that format! Stay tuned for more!
Really great scenery along with the shooting.
Just subscribed because I really liked this style of video. Watched this probably 10 times over and finally decided on one of these in 308 as I mostly hunt deer inside 500yds and target shoot. Should be perfect for my intended use.
Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and support! Sounds like you made a solid choice, so far I’ve been super impressed with Bergara. Seems like the offer awesome performance for a super solid price, hoping to feature more of their gear on the channel so stay tuned!
I have this same rifle in 6.5 Creed. Pretty insane how good it shoots with factory hunting ammo. Mine will be in my collection forever
Man it's hard to beat the performance of a Bergara rifle for the money. They are putting out very affordable rifles that are capable of performing with most of the custom rifle options on the market. While I don't own the rifle shown in this video, after shooting this one I would love to add a bergara to my fleet one of these days!
Great video. Would love to see this same format done on other common hunting setups. Wishing Northern Idaho was a little more open for long range shooting.
You know I’ve received several comments about doing this again with other hunting rigs. For sure this one would be fun to try. I’ve got this on my potential future content list so stay tuned. Main thing here would be me trying to find other hunting focused rifles to use, given I don’t hunt I don’t own any true hunting rifles haha
I had a friend approach me about this exact rifle. I asked him to consider the seekins and we're glad he committed to it.
We haven't taken it to distance yet but at 100yds it's stacking barnes ammo. It's very light and with an area 419 muzzle break it's soo easy to shoot.
Oh man if it's stacking rounds at 100 yds you'll have not problem pushing it to distance. Can't say I'm familiar with the seekins rifle specifically but seekins makes top tier gear so you know it'll be good to go.
Excellent content. No silly music and stuff just straight information. Perfect. Was wondering how you think this compares to something like this and cross or tikka UPR?
Subbed this was a freaking cool video.
Awesome! Really appreciate the support. Lots of fresh content in the works so hope you’ll stay tuned.
Thank you for this video. Beauty day !
Appreciate you taking the time to watch! Hope you enjoyed it!
That's a whole lotta punishment right there!!!! Thanks for taking a beating to make this video for us. 👍
Punishment probably is the best way to describe that experience haha. Pretty sure I’m still washing the dust off after filming this one haha
Love this!
Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
I purchased a Bergara B-14 HMR in .308 and it’s a sweet shooting rifle. Love it.
Good stuff! Hard to beat the performance of the Bergara out of the box. Thanks for watching!
these vids are awesome
Thanks for the video.
Informative vid. Helping me to set goals for my 6.8 Western. Hoping to get consistent hits on a 12" plate at 600 yds by the end of summer.
I haven't seen any of your other videos yet, but sub'ed and will watch them for sure. You're a heck of a shooter, the consistency at 1100 is pretty impressive to me, far better than I. Factor in this is off the shelf ammo makes it even better. Wish I had a place to stretch my legs a bit, farthest "near me" is 500 yards and it's not open all the time, so really limited to 300y max. Which is fun, but doesn't actually take much talent to make constant hits 😂
Great video as always. I love my Bergara HMR in 300 prc. A little heavy for packing in the mountains but it will get the job done when rifle season opens.
Oh man for sure that package will get the job done.I am super impressed for this bergara, no way I expected it to do so well past 1000 yds. Great rifle out of the box. Thanks for watching!
@@MountainsMulletsMerica yes sir it’s pretty impressive what you can do with a low cost rifle and factory ammo.
Curious to see how you have done with it…I am looking at this one myself and live in CO too, so it will be one that packs in with me. Their barrels are heavy but that is also attractive about their guns.
Awesome stuff again 👏
Thank you! Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
That’s some good shooting, bud! The misses weren’t you, as every shot you took, it was clear your crosshairs were steady! That’s rare that someone can outshoot their equipment or components. Very impressed.
Since I am a leftie I just recently found that Bergara has their B-14 HMR series in Lefthand models. (22-250, 6.5 CM, .300 Win Mag, .308 Win, 7mm Rem Mag, .450 Bushmaster, and 6mm CM.) That pretty much covers from ground squirrels to brown bear.
I love shooting long range as our club has 1000 yard targets and may extend to 1200 next year. I think the Bergara 22-250 Rem will be my next toy to stretch to the limits. The price point vs craftsmanship just screams "BUY ME!"
Thanks for the video.
Tell you what, it’s really hard to beat Bergara. They’ve got a lot of really cool rifles at a price point that won’t break the bank. I borrowed the rifle in this video from a buddy and it ended up performing well above my expectations. Hoping to get to play with more of their products in the future! Thanks for watching!
I would love to see a good review on the Mark V. There really aren’t any good videos on that scope online that I can find. Thank you for all the content!
Awesome, that's something I could put together pretty easily. In the little bit I've used it I've around found a couple things I really like about it and a couple things that annoy me. Overall, so far I'm a fan
Awesome shooting and video!
Exceeded
Thank you! Stay tuned for more content just like this.
Cool video. Gotta love those radial brakes when shooting prone lol
No joke man, I was shocked how much dust that thing kicked off when I touched off the first round haha
Great shooting and be safe and GOD BLESS y’all Amen 🙏
Appreciate you taking the time to watch and support!
A gun channel that does more than share an opinion. Amazing.
Man my goal is to let the data do the talking! So far folks really seem to appreciate the approach. More content coming soon so hope you’ll stay tuned!
The hits at 1100 were well centered. Wow!
The 1100 yard performance was beautiful! I was shocked at how well this rig performed at distance. Thanks for watching!
Subscribed, love your vids!!!!
Awesome, really appreciate you taking the time to watch and subscribe! Stay tuned as I’ve got so many more cool videos in the works!
Amazing results with a hunting rifle
I’ve been wanting a Bergara for quite a while but I don’t hunt anymore so a more target oriented rifle will be the one for me.
Bergara has some awesome target type rifles. The Bergara in this video is the first Bergara I’ve ever had the chance to shoot. Have to say my initial impressions are very positive. Great performer for the price!
Love your work mate Australia
Appreciate it! Thanks for stopping by!
Well done, enjoyed the content and practical aspect.
I would like to see you run the same course with a 7mm Rem Mag.
All the best with your channel!
Appreciate you taking time to watch! 7mm rem mag is one I haven't thought of trying, would be fun though. 7mm is a solid long range bullet so I expect it would perform really well!
Awesome! I noticed your hands, especially your right, we're trembling, though. And you're right about that muzzle break! LOL!
That's beautiful country out there!
That muzzle brake is no joke! While I get that rifle isn’t designed as a target shooter, it would be nice to see a different brake installed on the rifle so it doesn’t send the blast straight down. Pretty brutal as is for prone shooting. Thanks for watching!
I wish I could use a muzzle Brake or suppressor , in Canada it's all straight pipe 😩
@@Hawkcrom Oh, you're in Canada? I thought you were down here in the midwest. I understand. Just don't allow your long arms to be taken! They're far better. A handgun is what you use _on your way to get your rifle!_ Good luck up there. Hope you can rid yourselves of the Trudeau regime soon!
Picked up the same rifle in 300 Win Mag last year. Taking it to Africa for plains game in May. Can’t wait!
Teddy Roosevelt roped animals off of horseback in Africa one included a lion 🤠
This is a great rifle. And a blumpy in a aerostar van Is also a great time
Would love to see WW2 Kar98, Mosin, Enfield sniper rifle long range shooting with the old scopes. That would definitely be a challenge and I'd love to see how you would deal with it. Also Vietnam era cold war American sniper rifles and Russian SVD would be cool to see you shoot and experiment with in their standard issue configuration.
Man really appreciate all of the video ideas you've dropped. For sure you've given me some solid places to look for future content. Stick around though, I'm really excited to see what comes in the future as we grow this channel!
Great video! This is the stuff I like. No bs bolts and nuts what can it do stuff.
Appreciate it! Trying to make my content entertaining while providing some kind of value to the viewer. Thanks for watching and stay tuned, I’ve got a lot planned for 2023!
Just recently bought the Bergara Wilderness Ridge in .308. Have not been able to get out to shoot yet (it's 118 degrees in AZ), but was wondering what the accurate hunting distance might be. Thanks for demonstrating what this rifle can do. I will be practicing out a little more than I had originally planned. Great practical video.
I have always hunted with 308, and from the research I have done, the furthest a 308 bullet will expand on impact properly is 400 yards with traditional bullets. I just bought the exact same rifle! How are you liking it?
Great video with a lot of great information, awesome shooting, and helpful review! May have just convinced me to get a B14! I appreciate you acknowledging the impact of the recoil of the 300 win mag in a rifle like this; most people would just say to get stronger/ "be a man." I have a R700 SPS in 300 win mag and I have a hard time controlling it to observe hits as well (its the thin, unthreaded barrel unfortunately). Thanks for a great video, definitely subscribing!
Oh man folks that say get stronger or be a man are mostly talk…. Anyone that shoots long range regularly knows the less recoil a rifle has the easier it is to shoot to distance! Personally, I hate recoil so I do anything I can to reduce it. Appreciate you taking the time to watch and support the channel!
I use a lock bolt Rugger skeleton stock it has less recoil than a standard 243 because the stock design pushes instead of kicking your teeth out. Thanks for the video this proves to me that I want a mounted supresor to get more hits at longer range. Took a six by seven elk at 980 yards last year with one shot he went 50 yards and rolled to 20 yards away from were I hit him.
Well done. I just bought the same rifle in 7mm rem mag.
I’ve never thought of trying my Remington 700 (.300 WM) at a mile. Of course I’d have to step up my game with something other than my 20 yr old 3x9 Leupold MkIV. Nice shooting.
Yeah the optics are a big part of being able to connect at those kinds of distance. Something with nice glass and repeatable adjustments are a must have. Aside from that I bet you’d be pleasantly surprised how capable your rifle is. Thanks for watching!
i got Bob Ross feels from this video. love it
Awesome video!
Thank you sir! Who knew a hunting rifle could be so capable haha
I enjoy watching your content. I'm in the West Plains of Spokane near the Grey Fire. Not exactly sure what part of WA your in, but looks familiar. Keep up the great work.
I bought a Bergara premier canyon on an emotional purchase and this makes me excited
Haha emotional purchases my favorite! Based on my experience with this wilderness ridge I’d say you got yourself a great shooter
Great Shooting. I’ve got a Bergara in a 6.5 C but haven’t got to shoot it far Yet !
Thank you! Oh man hope you get a chance to stretch that rig out. 6.5CM makes long range shooting so easy and that rifle will be a great shooter. Very capable package!
I just set up a Bergara B14 HMR in 300 PRC. I already had one in 6.5 CM and its an AWESOME gun for the money. Looking forward to trying to hit a mile with this new gun. PS-Heading to Idaho for deer season here in a couple weeks, will likely use the CM.
Man after seeing how this rifle did in 300WM, I'm positive your HMR will be capable of 1 mile+. I see the 300PRC bergaras have slightly faster barrel twist rates so you'll be able to run slightly heavier bullets. The amount of drop on the 300WM surprised vs what I'm used to on my 300PRC shooting heavies.
@@MountainsMulletsMerica I’m gonna message you on IG to see what you think about the bullets I have picked out. Just stumbled on your channel recently and I dig it!
I just bought a B14 HMR 300 PRC myself. I ditched the factory muzzle brake and put on an MDT side port brake.
@@chloroquine99 Great move! If I owned this rifle swapping the brake to a side port model is the first change I'd make.
@@chloroquine99 I put a YH Resonator on mine with the QD, It makes the Creedmoor sound like a BB Gun (maybe because it is haha) but I’m curious to see how it does on the 300 PRC
Awesome job
Appreciate it!
I have been looking at Bergara rifles in .300WM. Thanks for the useful video. I need to sell my Savage precision 6.5 CM first.
Very nice rifle mate!
I was pleasantly surprised to see how well it shot long range after seeing 1.5" groups at 100 yards.
Great video, I've been looking at .300 win mag, specifically bergara
I’d love to see 300 win mag vs 300 prc. I know 300 prc going to be better. But how much better? Is it worth burning barrels for the extra performance? Your channel is my favorite. Thanks for continuing to push out content.
very impressive
Own one. Great gun.
Awesome performance
For sure! Very capable rifle right out of the box. I'm very impressed. Thanks for watching!
I have the Bergara BXR in 22LR and I’m happy as a lark it yeets all the dix in the same hole at 50yds. Nevermind all that now. Lol. Great video!
Ah man I bet that is a sweet shooter! Thanks again for watching!
Omg I would love to do that one day! The real hunt!
Man getting that close to that many elk was a rush! Super cool hearing all the bulls bugle that close by!
I have a max range in my deer hunting area of about 80 yards. Max range in my field when my neighbors beans or corn is down, i can practice out to 300. (cant practice during deer season for obvious reasons) i live in Kentucky, more towards the eastern part of the state, as western Kentucky is flat compared to my home area. Great shooting
Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment! East to west Kentucky is a very diverse state.I grew up in north GA so like you mention 80-100 yds was a decently long shot on a deer, something like 300yds while hunting was unheard of. Too many trees to really be able to stretch out haha
I’m in eastern Ky too and uncle brought 2 bergaras over yr ago and both shot awsome..6.5 and .300wm…I got steel@520 on a hollerfill I shoot with a dd5v3 16” .308..
Nice set up
Please try NEMO OMEN RECON in 300 WM and try to push it as far as you can. hope to see this video soon. keep up the good work man.
Great shooting 👍👍
Thank you! A lightweight rifle like this is tough haha
Great video
Thanks for the visit!
interesting review and test , for hunting rifle , b14 is very accuracy
Yes I was very impressed with the B14, much better performance than I was expecting out of a hunting rifle with lightweight barrel. Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Jealous of that range you can get out to! I have a Nemo Omen and unfortunately all the ranges here only go to about 300 yards in Central Texas. Would be awesome to stretch a rifle out like you are. Great video!
Oh man, the Nemo omen is one I’d love to get my hands on. One of my local gun stores has one for sale but I’m just not sure if I’d actually shoot it enough to justify the purchase. One of these days the curiosity might get the best of the though. Stay tuned because If I get one I’ll for sure be pushing to distance on video!
Awesome video. My brother has the same rifle and was making hits on a 36” round gong out to a mile. Shooting off a bag. It’s a pretty good factory rifle.
Thank you! Yeah man, I'm super impressed with the performance out of this bergara. Great rifle out of the box
@@MountainsMulletsMerica02
Great video! Yes hunting rifle vs dedicated precision rifle :-)
I was hoping someone would want to see a side by side haha. For sure something I hope to knock out in the near future. Right now I've got too many video ideas and not enough time which is a good thing!
Yes understand. Think that you are producing great creative content and I for one am highly enjoying it 👌
I load my own ammo for my 300 Winchester magnum and I got the load and bullet perfect for it. It’s a Remington 770 it will drive tacks to.
Which bullet are you running?
I like that your shooting the bigger calibers my riffel of choice is the 110savage in 338Lapua magnum;in a MDT LSS XL chasse; if you would put your 338bagara in a MDT LSS chasse gen 1 or gen 2 it's more stable than what your using try it & see mine is awesome
Doing that with factory loads is tough! I too have the 300wm bergara, but the hmr version. Haven't taken it past 1000 yet, but will when we get loads worked up. It groups fairly well with factory loads but not as tight as I want. Will push to 1 Mile with hand loads
Oh man I bet you’ll have no problem getting to a mile with that rig, especially if you are handloading. What bullet are you running?
@@MountainsMulletsMerica Running the 225gr eld-m. I was so impressed with the performance of eld-m in my 30-06 hunting setup that I couldn't get away from it. The a-tip interested me, but availability is tough! H-1000 powder is also tough to find! Love your channel tho, very informative and I think it'll help lots of shooters learn what they shoud focus energy on.
@@jeffeardley2805 Oh man, H1000 is next to impossible to find. 30 cal atips however show up with decent regularity, just have to spend time scouring the various online retailers. Given I'm just a regular guy that enjoys long range shooting, I'm trying to build content on my channel with that in mind. Really want to show what an average person can be capable of.
Carlos proved an off the shelf model 70 was effective out to 800 yards, more than once.
I have a B14 HMR Wilderness with a Hawke Endurance 6X24X44 that is zeroed at 200 yrds but it is an all day shooter at 500 yrds. it actually seems boring at 200 to 500 yrds because it is consistent 5 shot between 3/4 inch to 1 3/8/ inch with factory Hornady American white tail 139gr. It does just as well with the 156gr Hornady American white tail. The gun is worth every penny.
Crazy how a quality rifle can make shooting out to 500 yds boring haha. Sounds like a great shooter you’ve got! Great rifles out of the box from what I’ve seen. Thanks for watching!
Niceee!
I watched your 11.5 AR video too and subbed. I like your content. This is the shit I'm interested in. Glad I found you bud. Good going. Thanks. 👍 Oh... The hunting rifle exceeded my expectations. What I'd like to see, how far out can you reach with a 18-20" DMR AR 15 style rifle, what's a completely comfortable shot, how high end parts and barrels do you need to achieve that?
Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and support the channel! For sure I can stretch out an 18-20” AR in future content. Stay tuned as that’s a great idea! I love pushing the boundaries and challenging what folks accept as the “norm” haha
Subscribed!
Thank you! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch!
It really depends on your level of confidence in your wind calling abilities I will shoot out to 700 yards on game in no wind. You have to practice these kind of shots often if you want to shoot distance when your hunting the animal is owed that much. I'm shooting savage hs prec stock proof barrel 24 inch 200 grain eldx for my hunting gun. It's a matter of practice great video
Man I couldn't agree more! Confidence is hands down the most important factor in taking a shot on game at distance and confidence comes from practice.
Spoke to Bergara US the other morning. Here’s what I learned. Bergara claims “Remington pattern ” with their B14 series rifles. That applies only to the receiver . If you want to make changes, such as bottom metal, you can’t. Everything other than the receiver is proprietary to Bergara! If you have other rifles that use a certain magazine, and you want to convert your B14, you can’t! You’re stuck with different mags for the same round for different rifles. AICS “pattern” magazines is about the design, not the length. One might expect 300 Win Mag in an HMR “match” rifle, to have a match length magazine, AICS 3.850. You would be wrong! The 300 PRC uses the 3.850”. Sure the shorter mag Bergara uses does function, but it won’t contain those really long 300s. The HMR 300 Win Mag magazine measures approx. 3.53” inside. Stuffing those really long handholds into into a 3.5” magazine, well, you need Merlin as your spotter to help with that! If you built a custom math rifle, what magazine would you use, a 3.5 or 3.85 mag? 300PRC, 300 Win Mag, 7mm Rem Mag, and 7mm PRC can all use it. Why they spend money making multiple different bottom metals and magazines when they only need one, would seem to be a waste of company money, resulting in elevated prices for the consumer. As a guess. it seems Bergara is putting the screws their customers. If you paid extra money for the Wilderness version, you may suddenly be unhappy if you bought a magnum HMR for the “match.”. And no. Bergara will not sell you a replacement bottom metal. Someday they plan to. Doesn’t that make you feel all warm and fuzzy. I hope this helps clear up any confusion. If a long magazine is important to you, a few of Bergara competitors have rifles in the price class that have the big magazines. Eithe way, the HMR will make small groups!
suuch a good point, I LOVE that hunting stock shape but I'm afraid that the recoil from a win mag will cause unmanageable barrel rise
Still deciding, going to be buying parts and a .300 something in the next month or two
Oh man with enough practice I think you'll be fine with a traditional hunting stock. A true hunting stock wouldn't be my first choice for a dedicated long range rig but as you saw in this video it's a very capable option. I'm not sure what your ultimate goal would be for the rifle but if you can add weights to the stock you'll be doing yourself a bigger favor than choosing a different stock shape. Appreciate you taking the time to watch!

On Remington 700 300w/m we have special muzzle device.
Man this is actually genius! Wish I would’ve thought about doing this while filming this video. The dust kicked up by each shot was brutal. If I actually owned that rifle I’d have to swap a brake with a closed bottom. Thanks for watching and providing feedback!
