Bergara is the best gift to the hunting and shooting community in the last many years!
I'd have to agree with that! Thanks for watching!
Okay that's it. I need a Bergara! 😆😆😆
Of course you do! LOL! Thanks for watching man!
And a trip to Alabama, or you're not going to get to stretch its legs enough. Lol
I have a B-14 HMR, love it
#metoo 😀
I bought one in .300 win mag a few months ago and took it out to 850yds within an hour. And it was my first time ever attempting long range shooting.
Great video. I appreciate your production quality, your voice-over style and music track - and I almost always learn something when I watch your vids. Well done.
I really appreciate that man! Thank for watching!
Ed shilen helping them make barrels is enough for anyone! My favorite barrel maker and my new favorite rifle company. Spain and america united!
This must be the best comercial for Bergara i ever seen! I might even buy one myself
Bergara is not better than other marks (Sabatti, Franchi, CZ, Remington, Savage)...
Runaway playing in the background. Nice touch bro.
Awesome video. We had a very gratifying day with Bergara for the mile shoot at Alabama Precision. Shout out to Jim Saunders for making it happen so close to home.
Yeah it was truly an unforgettable experience! Thanks for watching!
Ended up getting a wilderness HMR in .308. Really couldn't decide on caliber, but it was primarily going to be used for whitetail hunting and target shooting 500yds and closer. Didn't really see to much advantage in a more expensive precision cartridge if I'm not gonna be reaching out very far the majority of the time.
I'll vouch for this. I have the 300 PRC HMR in the standard color and have taken clays at 700yards, easily hit a 10" square plate at 1000 yards, and an 18" round plate at 1 mile was incredibly easy. It's an incredible rifle for the price, that makes it incredibly easy to shoot at ELR ranges. I just wish it was more of a diy barrel swap scenario. 300 PRC isn't known for a long barrel life.
Just ordered one today. Then I find this video. I’m even more excited after seeing this now!
Awesome shooting!!!
Thank you brother!
Kid Rock was stacking them in there! Lol
Gamechanger, the value proposition bolt action rifle bar keeps getting raised.
Great shooting!! Just picked up a Bergara in 6.5 creedmore today. Excited to see that the Alabama Boys had a review on the Bergaras. Looks like I made a good choice 👍
This was a excellent video, From recoil mitigation to bullet selection. Your homework is invaluable to a beginning long range shooter. I have done a lot with guns and this is now on my list...I can no longer avoid it I guess.
This is a Great video!!! I've been going back and forth between Tikka and Bergara for a while now. This video just settled that question for sure!!! Now I have to decide on the glass.
I did some research a year ago and I purchased a 300 WinMag Bergara B14 HMR in wilderness gray and I loved it so much I bought another last week, bergara 22-250 HMR premier 1-9 twist!!
Great video ! After much research i will now get one in .308 as i plan on shooting out to 600 yards max around where we live.My dream has come true ! To have a all around rifle this accurate ,repeatable and well made makes the Bergara B-14 HMR a best buy you are wanting a rifle that can have multiple roles this is it .308 is easier to get around i live . Range is limited here in the bayou state and the shooting range here is 600 yards and in the woods here most shots are no more than 100 to 200 yards max. The extra weight isn't a problem for me as i'll be at the range with it more than hunting. You have helped me make up my mind. The gun store were i live has a few in stock and they look and feel awesome. The Bergara B-14 HMR is my next rile for sure !
I love my Bergara HMR chambered in 300 win mag it is the smoothest shooting rifle I have and I own an Ruger mark 5 chambered in 300 win mag as well and that rifle hurts when you shoot it. I did add the TT4 muzzle break to mine and it slowed the recoil down a lot.. I will be getting a 2nd Bergara chambered in 300 PRC now that I watched this video. Great job on all the information you gave in the video..
Crazy I was just looking at a bergara. I have been want to get into long range. Well looks Like tim has pushed me to go buy another gun!!! Lol thank you for all you do man!!!
Heh...I'm old enough to remember when making a 1000yd. shot was a VERY BIG DEAL. Now it's possible for any decent shooter with a good rifle & scope. My Bergara HMR will arrive in a few days...I'm hoping to get it to the range before the snow flies...
Couldn't agree more! Got one for my son and myself this fall, both in 300 WM. They really like Berger 180 grain Elite Hunters over 67.0 grains of H4350 seated at 0.100" off the lands at just a little over 2,900 fps. These HMRs will put these loads round after round through the same hole at 100 yards. Shoots jagged clover leaves at 200 yards and groups under an inch at 300... we'll leg them out a bit longer next summer and I'm sure the results will be just as impressive.
the land is so beautiful, you are so lucky to live there.
Your shooting field and that wooden deck looks like heaven
Greatly enjoy my own HMR wilderness in 300prc. Especially with the trigger tech I put in it
Really enjoyed the video. Purchased mine actually a few hours prior to watching video. As done with my aero 6.5 I’ll most likely put a Sheppard BRS on it. But may upgrade to the 24x
Just picked up this rifle yesterday!! Glad to see the capability of it!
I think you'll be extremely happy with your purchase! As always, thanks for watching man!
Ive got the B-14 HMR in 6.5 creedmoor and its easily my favorite rifle
Great shooting! That group at 1k was so impressive.
Thanks! Yes that even impressed me! Thanks for watching!
Yet again another stellar video from the Morgan Freeman of the gun world. Do you need me to start a petition saying you need to narrate everything for the industry?
LMFAO!!!! Yes, I think you need to start circulating the petition! Great comment brother, you made my day! Thanks for watching!
That's fucking hilarious!!!
Articulabaman
These videos are just fantastic to watch - thank you for posting them. So glad I subscribed!
Honestly at this point, the optic should cost as much as the rifle since bolt gun values have gotten so good.
I wish I had my Vortex Strike Eagle when this video started. That is the new pinnacle in value optics, unfortunately, it is made in China. But, for a little North of $600 you get a very capable scope. Wish Leupold could make something like that. Thanks for watching!
@@AlabamaArsenal After watching this video, is it even worth buying the premier?
@@TGun7 I have both a pro and premier and it is worth it to me because of appearance and fitment!
@@artifacthunter1472 Thank you very much.
@@TGun7
Yes. The premier is the way to go. I shoot the hmr pro 6.5 cm and it’s truly magical. Vortex
Great shooting! Love the delay of the sound getting back to you.
Yeah I thought that was so awesome. You could barely hear it in person, and that was the only time the mic just barely picked it up. If I go again I'm going to try and get some better audio equipment. Because hearing that ding 9-10 seconds after the shot was fired is pretty amazing. Thanks for watching!
Love this channel! Glad to see subscribers going up. Keep shooting champ!
I swear this channel should have a million subbs. U guys r awesome and make very good vids.👍👍
Really appreciate that man! Please tell your friends, thanks for watching!
GREAT REVIEW On everything !! Thank you. I love my Bergara Premier HMR Pro. 308. Looking for my next cartridge to be able to hit 1mile.
Oddly enough, I searched this rifle on CZcams AFTER finding it on Shooting Surplus lol. Thanks for the coverage of the rifle.
That's amazing, what a rifle and what a cartridge
Thanks for sharing, it's good information. I enjoyed watching the video.
This is a really great rifle! This review was one of several that convinced me to purchase a HMR in .308. Fully dressed it weighs in at 13 pounds and takes up the recoil very well. Paid ~$1000 and put on a nice Leupold scope. A great set up for an entry level distance rifle. Reasonably priced and extremely accurate.
What’s your longest shot and how was the accuracy or group at that range
The one phrase that has come to irritate me among the gun community the most.....entry level🙄
@@delav83 same here
Two years later do you still love it? Looking to buy one in 308 myself.
860 yards on a 10" plate.@@hydrogen2121
I’ve got a $200 rifle that can shoot a mile.
Just don’t ask me to hit something specific.
I was going to say the same thing!!! It is all to the shooter and their knowledge of their rifle!
I’m told my 22 lr shoots a mile lol
@@michaelbusybdetecting9297 that’s not at all what he was saying homie 😂
me too..My Red Ryder BB gun.. I just have to drive it down to the 50 yard line before I pull the trigger.. LOL
😂
like the way you describe the details of the firearms and love this channel
Great shooting & great video. I just got into long range by building an AR-15 in 6.5 Grendel. Wanting to start building a bolt gun & this video was very informative. Love your channel & the voice over that makes Morgan Freeman sound like Marg Simpson 🤣
I bought a Remington 700 series in 300 win 30 years ago for little over 500 bucks, I was taking shots this far then and still can with it .
Another great review and a rifle I can afford to add to my collection!! Keep up the good work guys. I love the info I get from your videos and you always pick the best products for review.
Remington 700. The savage axis of its day.
@@OvertonWindex it takes a lot to shoot out a 30 caliber barrel. I bought a 1974 Remington 700 about 10 years ago. Rifle is so old that the serial number was engraved by hand. It still holds 1/4 moa with 168 hornady eld match. It’s no longer sitting in the wood stock. I swapped it for a McMillan m40a1.
Shooting precision is like riding a bike for those with the natural gift. Ive seen guys who have never shot a certain gun and never shoot nail targets with extreme precision. Secondly barrel life depends greatly on heat and pressure of the cartridge and speaking of heat if one of these old guns is only ever shot a few rounds at a time the heat/pressure wont stress fracture the surface finish of the barrel and will extend the life. A 300 win mag could very possibly reach 2k+ and the shooter behind it shooting 20 shots a year could keep remarkably sharp. My nephew at 10 yrs old could pick off a rabbit at 200 yds no problem. He just had the gift. Idk why some people lack the gift of being humble though. Cheers all. Oh and yes a 300 win mag with the same projectile and velocity CAN match a 300 prc or probably most 30 cals in its class if the barrel quality is on par. And i have a 1947 stevens 30-30 that performs like new. And i bet an old marine vet could pick it up after yrs without shooting and slam soda cans at 100 open sight.
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 ok boomer
You can do a lot with a $1000 rifle if you use the right ammo and your skill level matches it. My first PRS rifle was a Savage stealth in 6.5 creedmoor. I have a $120 bipod, a no name tanker brake that i got for about $35, and a $600 Athlon scope.
I own the Bergara BMP in 6.5 cm and it's easily the best rifle I've ever owned.
That’s the exact rifle I own, topped with Zero Tech Advanced Trace! I absolutely love it
Great review as always! My buddy just got the same rifle the other day! I just send him this vid
Bought the Premier HMR Pro 308 a month ago. It took about a month to get ..... it was well worth the wait and the $$$. Definitely sub MOA at 100 and 200 yards.
The PRO is even nicer than this one! Great rifle, you'll be extremely happy with it for years to come. Thanks for watching!
The brand most people have never heard of. Great quality for the price.
I'm so glad I found this video. I bought a hmr pro in 6.5 prc early in 2020 and have been looking for a good bipod. I came across the atlas series but was worried about a way to mount it without drilling through the stock of a brand new rifle. You have just settled all my doubts. Have an adapter coming now and will have a bipod on the way soon. Great video! Thank you.
What is the adapter?
Really good quality production on this video. But damn you! I was sold on a Christensen’s MPR. But I could get a a Bergara with a Nightforce for the price of a MPR. Which makes more fiscal sense.
going to be honest i came to this video after never watching the channel expecting some back woods voice over. 10/10 subbed.
Well, I for one am glad you gave us a shot! Appreciate the sub and thanks for watching!
Just picked up a HRM Wilderness in win mag, this video tipped the scales - Bergara should sponsor you ;) Quality work on this video, appreciate it!
Super good video. Editing, sound design, videography, all well done. Subscribing.
Excellent work as always.
Very sweet as usual. Y'all pique my interest in long range shooting and shooting suppressed. Please continue your quality displays of marksmanship and information. Very glad I've found y'all. Best wishes
I like the 6.5 prc in this rifle! It is a beauty
I got the hmr 14 an hit all 3 shots @1440 yards with 6.5 creed horniday match 140gr. with the new vortex strike eagle. An harris bipods. Was so surprised with this rifle. Honestly next day sold my ruger precision 6.5 creed.. Great rifle for $1000..
Une œuvre d'art bravo bargera Factory ..👍🏴☠️🏴☠️
Love the outfits guys!!!! By the way the Bergara is an awesome rifle to own got mine in the classic.308
I'm glad I found this channel. Very informative. Got another sub from me
Great job. Thank you.
Have a standard B14 HMR in 6.5 CM with a Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25x and had no problem walking it out to 1k with first round hits and after some work on my end I hit the mile, its a great rifle more then capable of doing work.
Yup only strike Eagle here
Nice review, liken the 300prc now, cant wait to see more of it
30 seconds into the video but I'm blown away at that 1000 yard group.
That rifle is great. i just started prs shooting. I bought the Howa 1500. It amazes me how the Bergara, Remington, and Howa can shoot for the price point. All good rifles for most of us I think. I shoot USPSA action pistol and find the long range shooting very relaxing. Thank you and I just subscribed. Bill
You left out one of the very most accurate factory brands, Tikka. They are very impressive. Lots shoot 1/2 MOA or better, with Sako factory ammunition.
I love your videos! Please keep making more!
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks for the video was looking to purchase this rifle and was looking for a vid just like this.
I think you'll be very happy with one. Extremely impressive rifle. Thanks for watching!
Great video and review as always!
Did a bunch of research... an HMR Pro is on its way. Opticsplanet for the scope and accessories... thanks for the discount code! You also gain another subscriber, I really appreciate the way you present your messages! Well done! I’ll let you know how it goes.
Great shooting and great content!
i like the drone shot to let us know the scale of a mile, great job
I didn’t know I needed this... but now I know. 😬
Just sayin the HMR in 6.5 prc at my gun store is 850 (yes that are new ). Have looked at it for months every time I walk in 😂
Do it
I second this! Do it!
Just getit
I'm with those guys, you should just get it! Thanks for watching!
I'm a dealer and that price is $20 cheaper than I can buy it. 6.5 PRC HMR at 850, buy it now!!
I went out and bought one of these after viewing this and it is a GREAT rifle. I am very happy with it. Now I need to find ammo for it that won't require me to get a second mortgage on my house. Would you please break down exactly the parts that were needed to mount that Atlas on there? I have a Harris on mine and would love to switch it out for the Atlas. Thank you for a great video.
Great review and production as always! With Remington going under I wonder if Begara is going to fill the market space left by the Remington rifles falling out of favor? Is that Begara a Remington 700 form factor action by chance?
It is a Rem 700 foot print if that's what you mean. They are great rifles. Thanks for watching!
great video, thanks for the review
Love my HMR in 6.5 Creedmoor. 1/2 MOA day baby
Nicely Done Guy’s! Carry on
Just got home from shooing one and damn!!!! Love it, it’s such a great gun
The range is awesome 💪🏾
Love the way you produce and shoot your videos! Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks you for watching man!
Awesome as always 😎
Looks cool as hell, I’ll try to get one soon.
Great review like always, I really like mine!
I bought my Bergara HMR Pro in 300 PRC Christmas of 2020, before Christmas of 2021. I shot it to 1 mile hitting the target on the 2nd shot & numerous subsequent shots, including the MOA target. I used a Swampfox Warhawk scope which rivals my Nightforce ATACR & US Optics scopes and costs less than 1/4 of the price. So yep, an average guy can do a mile these days with a rig that costs about $1500. You will need a ballistics app on your phone unless you're really good with math ( I used a Kestrel Applied Ballistics).
Makes me happy I picked this rifle up.
Thanks for the video.
Nice review. Thanks.
Great video gentlemen!
Another huge plus to Bergara, their rebarreling service is famously fast and pretty well priced, I think around 300-400 usd
Love your videos! I have the hmr in 7mm that I got for myself for a bday present specifically to shoot a mile! Getting a leupold mk 5 5-25
Oh and I almost forgot. My buddy has the the hmr in 300prc! He loves it too with a shepherd 5-25
Def can't wait for that POF Rogue review
It's coming, I promise! Ran into a snag with 308 ammo, but I goiy some more and we've resumed working on it. Some really impressive stuff coming in that video as well! Thanks for watching!
I am impressed.
well done video.... you just complicated my decision process on a LR rifle....
Nothing complicated about it. You have this much $$$$ best rifle you can afford. Slap any glass on it until you can bump up in glass. Just get the Bergara. No worries
Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Great video 💪🏾
Great review!
Awesome. Thats just awesome.
Thank you man! and thanks for watching!
Great review.
Wait til you try working the bolt on a Tikka T3X 👍🏻
