Bergara Hunting Rifles

[NL-Hunter]

Just noticed a local posting of the B-14 at just shy of $1100.00

The Wood Stock option a couple hundred more.

Anyone here own any of these rifles and can offer a review?

Looks like a sweet non CRF rifle.

I used a couple Bergara barrels to do Handi rifle stubs in 9.3X74R and .405 Win... I found them to be of high quality and both of those rifles could really shoot... I have no experience with their full rifles.

David Petzal loves these rifles for what it's worth.

I thought their MSRP was more in line with the T3 but I guess with the way prices are going it has come out a lot higher.

Wow, great looking rifle! Receiver top looks like it takes Remington scope mounts.

Different height mounts, hmmm better find out if i would need "custom" mounts.

Edit: Right you are, Remington 700 style bases and mounts. Advertised as an improved Rem 700 action. Maybe I should have kept the old BDL, although the Bergara Barrels have quite a good reputation online.

Looks like a plastic bolt knob and trigger guard? Starting at $1100....

Looks good, but in a 30-06 it weighs 7.9 pounds naked.

Pretty heavy to me for a standard cartridge to me.

No plastic on the gun.

Ahh so it's just a casting line they don't clean up. Cheap.

What's your point?

Not worth $1100+?

I dont mind heavy rifles, eats up some snap.
