Bergara Hunting Build

[ShockTroop0811]

Posted this on Snipers Hide but thought I would see if anyone here has an opinion on this consideration...

Wanting to start a 300 PRC build for a new hunting rifle. Did some searches but not much on Bergara which may tell me enough...

Initial thoughts:
Bergara B14 Wilderness Ridge $1100
McMillian Game Warden or similar $6-800
Timney Trigger $200
Leupold VX5 or Zeiss Conquest V4 $1,200

After rings etc would put me around $3,500 and should be at or under 10 lbs...

Anyone have any experience with a similar build out? Better suggestions for similar price?

Was also considering Seekins, Fierce, or a Tikka build but Tikka doesn't chamber 300 PRC.

Thanks...

I’m in the middle of a semi-custom Bergara myself, but in 6.5 PRC. It kind of got away from me budget wise (like they all do), but it will be sweet.

I started with a B14 Ridge because I knew I wanted Kampfeld to do some fluting and cerakote for it anyway, and I got the rifle for right at $700. Sold stock, bottom metal, and trigger for $300. So, started with a barreled action for $400. May look into that route if you want to really spruce it up. Leaves plenty of $ vs paying for the Wilderness if the cerakote is all you are after.
