I have this exact rifle in 6.5 CM. Its a great shooter. Smooth action and well built. The only problem I have had is the internal box magazine. Its very stiff and difficult to load at times. Has gotten a bit better over time but still can be fussy to load ammo. other wise its excellent and well worth the money IMO. I'm so impressed with it that I just bought a B-14 Wilderness Ridge in .308.

I have this exact rifle. It is lights out. My favorite rifle by far. I take it everywhere through everything. It's a true workhorse. And don't let the 6.5 Creedmoor fool you. For deer and antelope, it's a stone cold killer with Hornady eld-x ammo.

You guys helped me decide on this rifle chambered in a .30-06 👍 thanks

I just bought the Bergara B-14 in 30-06 spg based on the good reviews it got from this channel. I also considered the Weatherby Vanguard but the “cheap” safety on it put me off and so I chose the Bergara. It’s amazing that such a small thing can swing your decision.

The quality of rifle Remington should have been making.

I'm really glad to see more content coming out. A few months ago I started binge watching every episode. Then.... i ran out of videos to watch. So I watched them again. Lol. I'm really happy to see more videos coming out. You guys keep up the good work! 👍

So I bought this gun today from Sportsman’s Warehouse here in Phoenix and watched several of your videos on the review of the guns that you chosen. It was a tie for me between the Weatherby and the Bergara B14 Hunter. Except for this occasion I was looking at the Wetherby vanguard meat eaters edition rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor versus the Bergara after handling both rifles I could immediately tell the Bergara is the better rifle when it comes to aesthetics feel and quality. Keep in mind the Weatherby was no slouch but the Bergara just felt better the safety was nicer and felt smoother compared to the Weatherby which was a stamped steel switch which wasn’t quite as nice and the soft coating on the shoulder stock and hand guard on the Bergara Was much nicer and very grippy. Lol Even My girlfriend thought the Bergara was the nicer rifle and she’s never hunted. Keep in mind I haven’t shot this new rifle yet but I am super excited to get a scope on it and take it to the range

Think i'm gonna buy one in .308 with a walnut stock. Good review!

I've had a Bergara B14 chambered in 300 Win Mag on layaway for several months . I paid it off and brought her home two days ago for $550 US . I feel like a bandit getting her at that price . I haven't mounted a scope or fired her yet , but the bolt is slicker than ice , and the trigger break is amazingly crisp .

There is a weird phenomenon going on with bergaras. The vast majority of people using them sounds very satisfied, often reporting custom rifle like accuracy. But on several forums sometimes a few "influent" guys pop up and literally start throwing s..t to bergara, with a lot of hanger and committment, getting even to say that these rifles are so bad that they would never own or work on one or even use parts for builds. To me it seems that these guys are actively trying to bash Bergara, maybe on the payroll of someone who could benefit from this. Emotional involvement in defending something we like is understandable, emotional involvement and committment in bashing a brand is more difficult to undestand if there is not some interest on the table. It wouldn't be the first time anyway

Mine is in 243, good solid rifle, don’t have to worry about scratching it and it gets the job done on Fallow and Roe every time over here in UK 🇬🇧

Just bought one today. Can’t wait to take a mule down with it! Vortex viper PST 2.5-10-44 will be the optic.

I just acquired this rifle in 270 winchester. Put a vortex 4x12x44 and went to the range. As getting 1/2 moa with the blue box federal I am very pleased with this rifle. Will be looking forward to getting another one.

Hey guys, love your channel and this video in particular. Lord knows I can't get enough of my B-14 Hunter, quite honestly I'm shocked yall didn't just come out and call it the winner of your best rifle under $750 challenge since it came down to it and the weatherby and in your original review of the weatherby its final shot of each load would leave the grouping. Just an observation. Anyway, question, what brand are those plastic rifle rest stands you used in this video?!

Thanks to you guys and your great reviews I was considering the Tikka t3x but I honestly think I like this b14 better thanks for the great reviews and the great content that you guys produce

Very interested in this rifle. Glad to see a great review.

They have since also made them in .22-250 and I bought one, it's great. Feels like a more expensive rifle. Even the cheapest ammo I can find groups barely over 1 MOA, and I've shot a few groups around 0.8-0.85 MOA with Hornady Varmint Express. Excited to reload some 75gr BTHP and see what it can really do at longer range. I will say, Barnes 55gr TSX factory loads were 5-7 MOA in my rifle. That has been my only problem with it though. My next rifle will likely be another Bergara.

You've earned my sub dudes. I like the manner and the attention to detail.

Ordered mine yesterday 30-06👍

I have this exact rifle in .30-06. Great rifle, very strong safety, easy to use, for hunting the hinged floorplate is a feature. The trigger is light, bolt action is smooth. It is a quality, basic rifle. I added a foam cheekweld as the stock is too low. For the price this is a nice step up in quality from the cheap 300-400 plastic rifles. Considerations...the bolt is a 90 degree bolt, so it is not as low angle as say, the Tikka. Not an issue for me. On the flip side, the build quality of this feels much nicer than the equivalent t3x.

Holy scope height batman!

Excellent review, great looking rifle!!!

I have the ridge in 6.5 (please don’t hate, won it in a raffle) and love it.

I actually just heard about this brand - awesome review

I own two less expensive CVA Cascades made for CVA by Bergara in 450 Bushmaster. They both shoot my reloads absolutely phenomenally accurate. I bought one for myself shot so great I then bought one for my son for public land deer hunting. Absolutely doggone shame the CVA Cascade doesn't come in LH as I would buy a 3rd one for my youngest son who is left handed. But I would rate fit and finish of the made for CVA by Bergara CVA Cascade an excellent all around value for the money rifle.

You guys should review the wilderness hunter by Bergara it’s a awesome gun

How about including target shooters. The HMR would be nice to see your review.

I might have missed it, but you might have pointed out that someRem. 700 accessories work with the B14.

Bergara B14 Hunter. 9 shots, no break in. 1st box of ammunition and 1st - 2 shot group. 130 grain 270 Win Federal Fusion. .375-inch, 3-shot group at 100 yards. Legit ! Stay away from CVA Cascade that SUPPOSEDLY has the same barrel. No way in H*ll !! These rifles are not night and day...... they are earth and moon apart. GO BERGARA !

Wonder if my garage floor will shoot < one MOA.

the bergaras are available with a wood stock too if you want something that looks nicer. imo a GOOD synthetic is actually a better stock though, and this pattern is probably a reasonably effective camo too.

Got my dad a hunter in 300 win mag for his retirement present. Its one hell of a rifle and will shoot sub half moa. Its killed a few animals now

I disagree. Bergara is all about PR gimmicks. They have terrible QC. Apologies for the lengthy story. Last October, I bought a B-14 Wilderness in 308 for my daughter after reading numerous positive online reviews. I was impressed with its looks and handling. Upon bringing the rifle home, I checked the screw torque and barrel channel clearance, which seemed fine. I then mounted a one-piece rail, Nightforce rings, and a VX3i scope using a scope leveling kit and torqued them to specification. At the range, I was getting 6''-12'' "groups" with three different types of factory ammo at 100 yards. Something was clearly wrong. I went back home, removed the scope, and double-checked the base. Everything seemed in order. I suspected the scope, so I swapped it out, but the results were the same. I even tried three different handloads without success. By then, I had fired around 100 rounds through the rifle. Although I had followed the recommended break-in procedure and cleaned the rifle every 10 rounds, I decided to thoroughly remove copper fouling since the rifle seemed to foul more than expected. When I lifted the rifle by the barrel, I felt some movement. To my shock, the barrel was barely tight-almost loose! I packaged the rifle and returned it to the dealer. They sent it off for repairs. Due to delays caused by COVID and general incompetence on Bergara's part, I am still waiting for the rifle to be returned. I contacted customer service yesterday, expressing my reluctance to receive the rifle back and requesting a refund. However, I was bluntly dismissed. The manager seemed unconcerned about a rifle being repeatedly fired with a loose barrel, claiming there was no reason to worry about the barrel tenon threads or receiver threads being stressed. When I mentioned the excessive headspace, he brushed it off as insignificant, stating that the worst-case scenario would be a light primer strike and a misfire. Unconvinced, I inquired about receiving credit towards a different rifle or the same model, but my request was denied. The manager did offer me $200 worth of Bergara-branded sweatshirts as a consolation. Additionally, I proposed that they provide me with caps so I could brand represent for them in compensation for the wasted ammo.

I just bought this same gun chambered in 308 with a vortex diamond back glass.

In the calibers offered, you left out .22-250 of which I have one ordered. Also, I didn't see .338 Win Mag offered in the B14 Hunter on the Bergara site, maybe a new offering? Anyway, looking forward to further reviews on your Bergara just subscribed.

Garage floor thing: I love the pattern. It looks really nice to me. If anything looks sturdy. I wish I could own this.

you can get the hunter model in a 9.3 x 62 and then you would definitely need a better butt pad and a muzzle brake.

Y’all should review a Winchester mod 70 super grade maple

We can get it in 6,5x55, 8x57 and 9,3x62 aswell.I' might swap out my Win 70 XTR for one of these.

I ordered a Ridge in 7mm-08

Got my eye on this one. Gonna have a look at the rest of your reviews.

I just wish this was threaded. I have this exact same gun and it is pretty stout shooting. With a muzzle break it would probably be much better. It is hard for me to shoot over 20 rounds through this gun. I really wish I would have bought the ridge model for the thicker barrel that is threaded. It is a great shooter though and the nicest rifle I have. The trigger is surprising coming from shooting shotguns 95 percent of the time.

Beautiful looking gun i won't one in a 7mag and nice show guy

Comparing the tikka to the Bergara wilderness hunter. The Bergara is better in every way but weight and maybe drop mag instead of box magazine Both have sub moa guarantee Bergara now has a fluted bolts and is smoother than tikka Better stock Extra round in the box magazine Metal trigger guard. Wilderness is cerakoted and tikka is stainless. I prefer cerakote.

Those scope mounts in the video are waaay to tall . Probably shoot even better with that fixed .

I know you have heard this already but try lowering your scope for a better cheek weld and better accuracy, i tried 4 different ones before i found the right height for my B-14 ridge .

Getting one in .308 the second I can find one. I've been hunting with my remington 700 in 300 win mag for 15 years now. Time for a new rifle that's a little more handy. I hunt Kansas in blinds and stands a lot.

I have the B14 HMR, its heavy but shoots really nice

Great content guys

Just ordered mine in 7mm-08! Can't wait!

heard they are a great rifle. This under $1000 rifle shoot out is going to be awesome. My money is still on Tikka but the Bergara must be a close contender.

I noticed you had x-high rings your scope was to high for me especially with no check riser. I have the same rifle and it shoot 1/2 in groups with Hornady 140 gr ELD and 3/4 in with Hornady 143 gr eldx Fantastic rifle

Great review..

Holy chin weld, Batman!

Can I ask why your scope is in the 3rd floor?

I love this rifle. Mine is 308. Problem is it will not group anything I can find including federal, nosler, barnes, hornady in 150s,165s,168s.

You need to put a pad on the comb to get a better cheek weld.

I see Bergara has the B-14 Ridge for $50.00 more, wonder what makes it worth $50.00 more, is it better? Maybe someone out there has the answer..

This is what the Remington 700 should have been for the past decade but Remington shit the bed then went bankrupt (again) so we won't see any more 700s anytime soon. Would like to get one of these but can't find any in stock anywhere locally.

Those scope rings are kinda ridiculous.

I bought this rifle today in 30-06.

Why did you mount the scope so high. I noticed your cheak wasn’t touching the stock. We’re those see through rings?

I have the same rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. Mine would crater and pierce primers with factory ammo and moderate handloads. To much clearance in the firing pin hole. I sent the bolt to Gre-Tan rifles , had the firing pin hole bushed and new firing pin installed , 143.00 dollars later problem solved .I am not the only one who has had this problem , seems to happen mostly with the 6.5 creeds. I have heard Bergara reduced the the firing pin hole diameter to solve this problem in post 2018 rifles. I like everything else about the rifle, just be careful if you buy a used one. The firing pin issue could be why they got rid of it.

You should mount that scope, a little higher!

That is a sexy gun!

What is a good scope for this gun? I have the Bergara B14 270 for my grandson but not sure which scope to get for his deer hunting season.

@0:50: Minor point: It's 1 MOA, not 1" MOA. 1 minute of angle is 1" at 100 yds.

Same gun up here in Canada it’s about $1,200 dlls 😢

My mistake....3-shot group.

Please show shooting Target's like you did the other videos

I have narrowed my choice down to a Ruger American as my budget rifle and this Bergara as my higher end rifle. Do you think the extra 150/200 is worth it for this gun?

Too bad you guys couldn’t figure out how to mount that scope any higher. 😂

Looks like hell with that yellow thing in there.

I do not think many people will be wanting to buy a Rem 700 anymore. There are better guns out there now.

I like the bergara's minus the hinge plate magazine, I cannot stand them for duty or hunting.

I want a good rifle. Decently light weight, threaded barrel, metal trigger guard, cerecoated, adjustable trigger.

Considering one of these or a b14 ridge. I like everything about the ridge better except the weight. What would you recommend?

Did you guys go through the barrel break-in before you got the groups on your rifles?

Wow 2700 dollar scope can change a lot

Nice support bag - who makes it?

I'm looking at the b14 ridge after reading Jim's page about best rifles around 850 ish. My only hesitation is finding the differences between the Bergara b14 and the CVA cascade. I could save 200$ and get a lighter gun still with a bergara barrel, quality trigger, and fiber reinforced stock.... can someone tell me the main differences?

Does this company do garage floors? Asking for a friend

Surely you know the scope mounts are wrong!!

I’m gonna get one of there is a 300 or a 300wsm not sure which one yet

Damnit! I paid over $1200 for my Bergara 22-250 and 3 boxes of ammo. Anyone want to come kick me in the ass. Someone PLEASE tell me where to look online before I get screwed again.

Gday boy's after watching this video I went out and purchased a bergara b14 ridge in 6.5creedmoor

If the texture and look is the only thing taking you away from this rifle just get a different color or something mine is wood and drives tacks at 150 yards

How do I find out the year of manufacture for my Bergara b14?

Nice video. Help me make my decision. That safety is exactly like my m1917 manufactured in 10/1918

How much was that? Can you tell me the price?

Flute that barrel and it would pretty hard to beat

This rifle or a Howa 1500HS precision??

It ain't got a cheekpiece or I would have already done bought one.

Where can I even find this in Canada

How do you load/unload the magazine?

Very nice. Would make a great truck gun with the 22" barrel. Wish the contour of the barrel was slightly thicker. Would love to have one in of these in .243.

Why are you running the tallest rings ever made?

1.0 inch MOA?

Someone please talk me out of buying a wilderness ridge.

What's the scope you mounted.
