Though she doesn't claim to be an expert I can tell you that this lady is a true outdoorswoman and hunts and gets it done more than a lot of men! I know her personally so this isn't just an opinion from watching a video.

Loved this! All the information with out being just a commercial.

Very helpful review. Thanks for your time and insight.

I have 2 Bergaras. A Ridge and a HMR both in 6.5CM and love them.

What a well done review! Thanks

I have this rifle chambered in the 7 mm rem mag. It is a pleasure to shoot! Very accurate with a couple of different bullets. I haven't tried many because I haven't been able to find any ammo since November, but I'm confident that will change. I love the gun. Everything you said about it is spot on. Good review.

Good job. Thanks for sharing.

You did an excellent and honest review

Nice review, thanks a lot.

I bought a Ridge in 243 in 2019. It easily beats the 1 moa guarantee. One thing I really like about it is the standard pillar bedded stock. Torquing the action screws is very positive and they tend to stay tight. I think these rifles are great value.

I bought an AR years ago when you could only get the 450 bushmaster in that platform. When looking for a bolt gun to replace the AR the guy at the gun store recommended a B14 Ridge. I knew little of Bergara rifles then. After some research I went ahead and bought the B14. Mine will shoot one inch groups all day with my pet hand loads. I really like how the rifle feels and handles. Looking forward to this deer season to see how it performs in the woods.

New subscriber and love your stuff! Recently purchased a Bergara B14 Timber in .308 and did ultimately achieve sub-MOA. HOWEVER, it took a while. I followed the conditioning instructions out of the box without exception. Will save the details, but I was very surprised at how sensitive the rifle is to different factory ammo, esp at the same grain wt. I sincerely wanted to love this rifle, but my Ruger Am .308 shoots better. Thanks again for your vids - great stuff!

LOVE my Bergaras!

I’ve been wanting one of these!

Nice job. I may have to get one

I have a Ridge, but not the wilderness series. I love it except for the lack of rise on the comb as she mentioned. Wish it had a Monte Carlo comb on it. I added a pad to mine because I can't go any lower with my rings. It'll shoot 5/8 if I do my part and have a feeling it'll do better with a better shooter behind it. You do a great review! Plain and simple.

I have a 7mm-08 Ridge ordered. I like the integral recoil lug in the receiver. Most less expensive rifles have the recoil lug in the stock and then the lug fits in a notch in the receiver. I could not find a Wilderness model but I agree with you, that would be worth the money. The plain Ridge model does have a threaded barrel and I will be using my can on it. The only thing that makes me sad is that we used to have a very well Remington rifle in this country - no longer.

Great review,thank you!

I think your review was spot on I have a Wilderness Ridge in 308 and I'm getting excellent accuracy at 100 yards .9 moa was my average 3 shot group. Thanks for sharing 🦌😊

Great Video.

I do own that rifle but the 2020 model. Right now my two absolute favorite gun makers are Bergara and Tikka. The former is built like a tank. They are heavy but because of that they are stable and the barrels can take repeated shots without hurting accuracy. The Tikka is also a high quality gun *but* it is made for the mountain or backpack style of hunting where you will be hiking for many miles in the wilderness with the rifle on your pack. Doing something like that while lugging around a B14 Wilderness Terrain in 300 Win Mag is incredibly painful. The Bergara rifles are just too heavy for that type of hunting. I would say that hunting from a stand or a blind is where the Bergara really shines. Both Tikka and Bergara are awesome gun makers but they each cater to a different niche market. I own several different rifles from each and love all of them. It's true that these are not budget guns and I am ok with that. When it comes to my firearms I want the best I can afford.

In grey and 270 Winchester, it's a badass and the balance and trigger are so perfect it's hard to describe, no brake on mine

I have the basic Ridge in 6.5 cm and love it! My gun shot .625 to .75 moa with some hand loads I just threw together to get the barrel broke in. I have a feeling this gun will end up shooting under .500 once I've developed the right load. Someone in the comments said why not just find an older Rem 700. I have a older 700 BDL in .270 win and it is a tack driver and is/was my favorite up until now. On the Bergara, the action is a lot smoother and has a lot better trigger than the 700. This gun just feels very solid all around. I would rate this gun somewhere between Weatherby's Vanguard and their Mark 5's. The one thing I would like to see them change is the butt stock. It needs a higher cheek rise . I had to add a pad to mine to get the correct cheek weld. Monte Carlo style stock would be great.

I did find the short actions like my new 308 was a little tedious to load from the top BUT….. just open the floor plate and lay them in and close it.. you’re done. Much easier.. or just order the magazine conversion kit and rock a removable magazine!! not a deal breaker at all for me. Love my Bergara B14 hunter in 308 win.. and SUB MOA accuracy..great review..

Thanks for the look...see !!

Great review! Excellent information and well spoken. It's on my list and was recommended as great option for 30-06. My current gun kicks like a spooked horse, and although it may still kick a bit, maybe it won't be as bad.

I have the Ridge in 6.5CM with an Omega300 can on it (attached with SilencerCo ASR muzzle brake*). Love it

So I have that exact same rifle also in 6.5 Creedmoor but I think mine might be a model year earlier. The stock on mine is a painted on camo pattern more like what you find in the HMR Wilderness series. I like the feel of the gun and the construction of the gun. It's by far the best bang for your buck (no pun intended) considering all the features and craftsmanship you're getting. I also own a B14 Hunter Wilderness in 308 Win. Very similar design but missing the threaded muzzle and brake. I took it out recently to the range and I can confirm what others have said about having difficulty getting the cartridge to seat well in the magazine. After my practice session at the range I pulled the stock and performed a close inspection of the magazine. As it happens the metal spring appears to be much stiffer than it should be at least when compared to my Howa 1500 also in 308 Win. So I purchased some dummy rounds and practiced cycling the dummy rounds through the action and chamber. After about 10 tries the spring loosened up a bit and I had less problems feeding rounds. I also loaded the magazine with the dummy rounds(A-Zoom brand purchased on Amazon) and left it in the gun safe for a month or two. That went a long way to removing the stiffness in the spring mechanism of the magazine. I should also mention that my guns use a leupold rail instead of bases. So that might have contributed to the magazine loading and feeding issues at the range. With bases you have more clearance available to get your fingers in there and align the rounds properly in the magazine.

Love the B14 HMR

I have 2 Bergara B14s. One in 7mm rem mag and 7mm-08. Both shoot great

I have a newer bergara wilderness ridge with the fluted bolt, 2:22 but I absolutely love it and it's chambered in 6.5 CM and I've gotten 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards with 5 different factory ammos and that's not something that happens very often it's the only rifle ive ever had and trust me when I say ive owned hundreds of different rifles by about every manufacturer and they usually only shoot one bullet really good but the bergara shoots everything I've put in it good

I personally prefer a hinged floor plate over a clip

Just went to Scheels and handled there exclusive West River Ridge in 450 bushmaster for Iowa deer season. Uptgraded stock felt great in hand. Trigger and action were both crisp and smooth.

I'm planning to buy the Bergara wilderness ridge. I've been looking at a lot of different rifles and I just don't see this quality at this price point. I think the value is incredible for this rifle. The other rifles I'm looking at are Tikka and Sako. But I think I will go Bergara because I want the 22 250 cartridge and Bergara offers a 1 in 9 twist for heavier bullets. Thank you 👍

I have a Bergara B14 Ridge in 7mm-08 and it is very, very nice. Very accurate. I think it's a bit on the heavy side; the Ridge has a heavy profile barrel. The hunter model is lighter if that's what you want. You can also get as an add-on a box magazine kit if you don't like the hinged floor plate. I would say it's an MOA rifle.

I just purchased a B-14 HMR in 6.5 Creedmore and I’ll tell you what Bergara makes a real nice Rifle and I’ll tell you what that it was the best purchase I’ve ever made I hope you enjoy yours.

I'm looking at buying this one

I have the exact same rifle also in 6.5 Creedmore. It has the smoothest bolt action of all of my rifles. It’s a true tack driver. The really only difference is I have a little better muzzle brake.

Great review as always. I saw in the comments that someone already asked a similar question. Would you consider doing a head-to-head comparison between the CVA cascade and Bergara's B14? I simply do not see enough difference to worry about, yet one is several hundred dollars more? Thanks!

Passed over this for a Ruger Hawkeye because of LOP.

Just mounted a scope and sighted in a bergara hmr for a friend today, a pleasure to shoot and nicely accurate with the first box of factory ammo I tried (hornady match)

How did you get that camo pattern on the stock with the wilderness ridge? Haven’t seen it available for that model. Thanks!

Verdict is out on my 270 ridge. 1.5 to 2 moa out of the box. I hope some barrel break in will help. I'm going to try hornady eldx and nosler ammo next.

I have a wilderness Ridge 6.5 PRC suppressed. I’m just in love with the smoothness of the action-fit-feel-Accuracy. Enjoyed your presentation!

I've been eyeing a B-14 Ridge in 7mm rem mag.

Great video (including the quality) and review! Thank you! Just wanted to ask, when you're holding the rifle offhand, is it overly muzzle heavy? Or is it pretty comfortable?

Like your video. Question is this made in a left handed model ?????

Have you compared it with and without the muzzle brake? Differences in felt recoil and noise?

Loving my Wilderness Ridge SP in 308. Just got the bolt fluted and cerakoted by LRI since I pack it through some rough elements. I have not seen another Wilderness Ridge with this stock. Most have the hand-painted webbing design. Did it come like that?

bergara: Everything Remington should have been in the 21st century

Nice gun

Do you have a direct link where you purchased the rifle? I can't seem to find that particular cerakote in that model. Thank u

I have the B-14 ridge with a 22" barrel, the very first 3 shots were within an inch, no break in or nothing, straight out of the box, put a scope on it and it performed absolutely well. In my opinion it could use a sturdier stock but that'd probably add weight. Ps: Subscribed

Does anyone know if the legacy sports magazine conversion fit in the ridge? The b14 ridge SA magazine conversion is out of stock

Odličan bergarin karabin 🔟

Torn between the Ridge/Hunter vs. a Tikka T3x lite. Any suggestions?

That's a good looking rifle. I'd like it in a 308 win.

I did wanna ask, you mentioned the barrel is cerakoted but on scheels it shows their exclusive version to not be the “wilderness” so the barrel is mentioned to be blued. Just want to know if that’s the case for your gun as well?

I just got it, but it didn't have a cool finish like this, just the dusty fog look. Also got the 308 with the 18in barrell. Hope to one day take a deer with it.

It's at weight that light enough to carry in the deer woods but heavy enough to old steady while hunting

Will you try with Magpul long action AICS magazine? It would hurt less where you hold the rifle.

What was the overall length of this rifle with the brake?

Which leupold scope are you using on this rifle?

Is there a way to tell what year your rifle was made? I have a B-14 Wilderness in 6.5 CM with the fluted bolt.

Why does your B-14 WILDERNESS RIDGE not have the fluted bolt as shown currently on their website?

So I heard you can order the bergara action and barrel without a stock for a cheaper price, so I can order my own stock? Does anyone know if that's true? And can I order it threaded with a 70-degree bolt throw, or does it only come in 90s degree?

Looking for a rifle for my wife she for a pig hunt she want to try.. she is first time shooter and I really like the cascade do to length of pull adjustment for her plus when my son gets older he can use it.. my question is how is the recoil on the 6.5 compared to a 308 or a 270?I have zero experience with the 6.5 I want a gun for her that she enjoys shooting and learning with but at same time is forgiving with shot placement for deer and pigs..

Its a nice rifle. Id rather get the hunter in 270 win. Ridge has heavier barrel profile.

I may have missed it but what is the actual length of pull on this rifle? I see everything between 13.4” and 13.75” when I look online and it is not listed on Bergara site.

Why does the wilderness ridge claim to have a fluted bolt starting in 2021 yet mine, a 2022, doesnt. Curious if anyone knows why theyd change back?

My Bergara B14 hmr 22-250 shoots about 1/4 moa with factory ammunition

Im the proud owner of the Wepon

I recently ordered a B-14 Hunter in 30-06. I didn’t see a need for the threaded barrel or the added 0.6 lbs in weight.

So which would you recommend? The cva cascade you reviewed or this bergara? The regular ridge is about the same price as the cva.

What type of scope?

Just stumbled across these rifles also. After doing my research. Its a Remington 700 with a bergara barrel. So the price point is for the barrel. Just like many other industries. The rifle industry is a mix match of parts from all the bolt action suppliers. Each having a pro and cons that are the same as the other brand X. For the hefty price of the factory improved stock with a tactical grip and drop out mag. Your well over $1000. If your using it simply as a hunting rifle. It is well over priced. You can get sub moa out of $300 rifles. Or buy a 20 year old Remington 700,710, or 770 and have the same results for about $250. For $1000 you can get a AR platform that does just as well. Thanks for the review from your perspective. They are quality rifles. But who wants to support Remington and a Italian made barrel producer.

Your understanding of stock fit exceeds most. Size of the objective on the scope will also affect fit because it may require higher rings which will cause you to lift your head and not get a good cheek weld. Bottom line - stocks should all be adjustable for the best fit possible.

Tip: Keep your trigger depressed on the follow up. You are letting up on the trigger after you shoot this will cause inaccuracies.

thats not a 1.11 inch group..its slightly bigger than that.. thats obvious.. I have 3 Bergara.. All will shoot less than a half MOA. But thats with my reloads.. They are just awesome rifles..

as far as the grouping goes, I've been told that some rifles can be touchy based on the grain of the round..... were you shooting a 150 grain round???

Did I miss it? what caliber is this rifle

Not to be critical, and no offense intended, but a claim of a 1.1" group including a mid three shot scope adjustment is basically useless in sharing the rifles accuracy. Clearly, a 3-5 shot group without any sight adjustments would have been a true testament to this rifles accuracy potential. You could say the rifle shot a .6" two shot group, but this is to few shots to prove reproducibility. Did the rifle consistently shoot to the point of impact after your scope adjustment, or was the third shot pulled? For what it's worth, as a viewer of this video I would have no idea.

Theoretically zeroed at 200? Uh, that’s not how that works, at all.

At the end of each of your videos you tell folks to subscribe and click on the bell and thumbs up, the recording is very loud and not pleasant to hear and turns me off from thumbs up

1 MOA for 3-shot groups isn't impressive at all. My Tikka CTR averages under 0.5 MOA for 5-shot groups. I've even shot in the 10s with it (for 5-shots). My B-14 HMR in 308 on the other hand is averaging ~1.1-1.2 MOA with the best handloads I've been able to work up for it. I wouldn't have a huge problem with the poor precision if they didn't call it a "match" rifle. You won't be winning any matches shooting 1.2 MOA groups. Anyway, I would never buy another Bergara.

You forgot to tell how much it weighs…it weighs 10.0 lbs. with no scope…

No offense at all but it seems like your husband should have been the one to do this review.
