Bergara b14 ridge wilderness opinions

Awesome, What one did you like better?

I liked the stock on the canyon better.

I think the mountain is now a 2.0. Mine is an earlier model in 280ai which is no longer available. My approach is in 25-06. I have around $1125 in it. I really wish they were swapped, but such is life. Both guns are sweet and handle well. For a 300wm or prc, you might prefer something with a bit more weight to it. Or a brake or suppressor. The wilderness carbon that was announced yesterday would be pretty sweet.

That new carbon does look pretty sweet.
I was looking right after the mountain 2.0 came out and couldn't find anything under $1700 for one so went a different route. Nice deal you got on that Approach.
The B-14 squared crest looks like a nice setup. Checks a lot of boxes. Nice stock, threaded barrel with brake, lighter fluted barrel, aics mag, and for a 300wm or prc just about the right weight for recoil not to be bad.

Yep. They dropped 3-4 new offerings this week. I personally may try to get hmr carbon for a range rifle.

My brother picked up the wilderness terrain in 300 WM back around 9/1/2022. Shoots 180gr TTSX very well. Serious elk medicine. I also have owned a B14 in the past. That was a few years ago, it was a great shooter out of the box. I only sold it to help fund a custom build. For what it's worth, I was impressed with the action and stock on his. It looked and felt better than the one I had. Not that I disliked the fit and finish, this just seems better.

Do it!

Do it!

I pick up the wilderness terrain!!! I’m trying to take the bolt apart? Not have any luck? The rifle is 3 years never been shot but it has some surface rust and I can see some surface rust on the bolt!

It’ll twist off counter clockwise but I think you have to push the sear back to get started.

A good buddy of mine is selling his… although him and his family are going through some unexpected life situations at the moment.. if interested I can ask him

Dang, that is very disappointing… now that you mention it, I did send an email on the divide as well to see if it was going to be offered in any other chambering than what is advertised online and I didn’t get a response either…

I picked up the phone last week. Customer service told me they’re waiting on bottom metal.

Interesting, did they say when they expected to see the bottom metal and start shipping?

Slightly different model but my HMR wilderness has been great, little heavy but not a small caliber either being 300PRC so the weight actually makes it nice to shoot just not carry all day. I’d be happy to buy another Bergara. On a side note I also purchased the premier bolt separately and it head spaced exactly the way the original wilderness bolt did so their tolerances are held fairly tight on their production line.

I bought a Ridge in 7Rem Mag a few years ago and it’s been a good gun though not something I often hunt with due to the weight, makes a great “bean field” style rifle though. I also got a Hunter in 6.5CM that is also a shooter and actually outshoots the Ridge. I’d recommend either one though based on my experience with them.
