picked up a Bergara B-14 HMR (Hunting and Match Rifle) today in 6.5 Creed... looked at just about everything, Savage (almost bought a 12 FC that was 100 bucks more, but was bulky and i didnt like the stock really), Ruger, Tikka, ect... settled on this after reading multiple reviews and talking to the counter guys whome a couple of are active and non active military....

its sub-moa guaranteed, and many people shoot well over 1k yards with theirs...

its basically a tuned up 700, adjustable target stock, threaded barrel, ect...

trigger is very nice, much nicer than my 700 X Mark...

they make a "pro" model, that comes with a Trigger Tech trigger, and a couple other things, but is 800 bucks more and i didnt feel like seeking one out....

the Tikka was nice, but the mags for it, are 100 bucks... these are 30 or under depending....

ill get the same 40 MOA rail i got for the 700, but for now, since i cant shoot magnum cartridges at Range 15 on base, i will steal the SWFA off the 700 and put it on this, so i can use it, and get used to it, with a rifle that costs half as much to shoot, and the recoil is significantly less...

overall, im happy.... for now... as usual
