Anyone shooting a bergara b14

Testing 150 gr ELD-X handloads the other day with the new Ridge in 7-08

My ridge is also 7-08. I found several accurate loads. 44.5 IMR4350 was super accurate. I settled on 47.0 IMR 4350 at just under an inch in two different Ridge rifles in this caliber. I picked up 2lbs of Ramshot big game to try next. I really like this rifle.

My ridge in 6.5cm shoots lights out. barnes 127 gr lrx shot a .44 inch 5 round group my first set of 5 after sighting in. I'm almost bummed I've got a nicer 6.5 prc that kinda makes it obsolete, not sure what to do with it (might rebarrel to 6mm cm so there's less overlap).

Yep you have a dilemma. I am a bit old school and have no knowledge of the PRC. My ridge is set up for 139 SST, specifically so I can shoot the Interbond interchangeably.

Just picked up a build based on a B-14 Ridge barreled action in 6.5cm. Excited to see how it shoots

Have both Bergara and Tikka rifles and think they are very similar in quality. Tikka T3 is lighter (and feels much lighter), which is a plus at times. Both are very nice rifles if they fit what you're looking for.

They are all heavy, their lightest contour is like a 4, and some are 5.5 which is rem varmint. I'd like to try a new wilderness terrain in 300prc but I need to sell several rifles before I buy another.

Anyone having any issues with the length of pull on their ridge? Any suggestions?

Mines great for me at 5'9",short action makes for a fairly compact rifle. Not light, but compact.

What rail/scope mounts are those?

Same. The tikka feels lighter and has a perfect action and trigger, but a little too 'plastic' feel in the stock. The B14 Hunter has a perfect stock in my opinion but the action and trigger, while both very good, aren't quite as good as the tikka. Also being a 700 clone helps buying cheap bolt on stuff. If the B14 and tikka had a baby it might turn out to be hunting perfection IMO.

Seekins 30mm low rings and 20 moa rail.

I have an HMR premier, which is admittedly pretty different than the B-14 line but I have loved it. It costs more but for what you are getting the price increase is pretty well justified in my opinion. It has one of their higher end actions that feel really nice and engage very well, trigger tech trigger, and SS barrel/action that comes cerakoted. Mine is not the lightest rifle I've ever owned, especially after mounting a US Optics MR-10 on it, but I intend to eventually plan to re-barrel with a proof carbon.

I have a B14 Ridge in 300wm. Thing shoots very well. Probably better than my abilities will allow at the moment. It’s sits at 12# fully rigged so packing it around isn’t fun to pack around.

I picked up a B14 Wilderness Ridge in .308 a few months ago. Haven’t taken it hunting yet but it’s a tack driver. I topped it with a Swarovski Z5 3.5-18x44 and it weighs in just under 9.5 pounds I believe.
