I’ve been shooting the Bergara B14 HMR in 6.5 Creedmoor for a while now, and I can say its accuracy is superb. I’ve easily shot under 1 MOA at 100 yards with handloads.

That’s impressive! I’ve heard that it performs great even in windy conditions. Have you tested it in those situations?

Absolutely! I did some shooting at the range last weekend and found it to be remarkably steady in the wind. It really is a versatile rifle.

I recently picked up a Bergara B14 HMR as well. Initial impressions are great, but I’m looking forward to really testing it in varied conditions. What kind of groups are you all getting at 300 yards?

6

I’ve consistently grouped within 2 MOA. Could be better, but it’s my first time handling such a precise firearm!

7

For me, the Bergara B14 HMR has exceeded expectations! I’ve shot groups well within 1.5 MOA at 300 yards. Just make sure to use good quality ammo.

Do you guys prefer factory ammunition or handloads with this rifle? I just can’t decide what’s best for my shooting style. Any input would be great!

I stuck to factory ammo when I first got mine, but once I tried handloading, I noticed a significant improvement in accuracy. It’s worth trying both to see what works for you!

10

I’ve had mixed results with factory loads versus handloads on my Bergara. Sometimes the factory rounds shoot great, other times they don’t. It’s a hit or miss!

11

I’ve been working on my shooting technique too. I find that even slight variations can affect how well the Bergara performs. What do you all do to maintain accuracy?

12

I appreciate a consistent shooting position and breathing control. But let’s be real, sometimes it’s just luck! Helps to have a little humor while aiming too.

13

Haha, luck is definitely a factor! But I think practice makes perfect when using a quality rifle like the Bergara.

14

Has anyone experienced issues with the stock? I hear mixed reviews about it being too heavy or not. What’s your take?

15

I actually find the stock comfortable and stable. Maybe a bit heavier than I’m used to, but it helps in reducing recoil. Just need some muscle to lug it around!

16

That’s reassuring! Comfort is key, especially when shooting for longer periods.

17

Overall, it sounds like many are finding great success with the Bergara B14 HMR. Does it really live up to the hype everyone is giving it?

18

The Bergara B14 HMR is a brilliant rifle! The craftsmanship is top-notch, particularly the barrel quality which really enhances accuracy. The stock design is also pretty ergonomic, fitting comfortably during long sessions at the range.

19

Absolutely! The barrel’s consistency is a game-changer. Plus, the action is smooth, making follow-up shots a breeze.

I agree, the stock is very comfortable. I’ve used a few rifles before, and the B14 HMR is surprisingly accommodating for those longer shoots. It has a solid feel without being too heavy.
