I have a B14 Timber, hands down best rifle I have ever owned!!! Taking it deer hunting again this season.
Same! I have one in 270 Win.
I just purchased a B14 Ridge SP .308. It feels solid and looks great. The smoth crisp trigger comes set at about 3lbs but it is adjustable to go up or down only 1lb. I am looking to buy more Bergara products in the near future.
I'm looking at getting the B14 HMR in .308. Would you say its better than Remington 700 SPS Tactical?
Dan I’ve become a Bergara shooter. I purchased a b14 .22 for competition 8 months ago. And a 6.5 BMP I’m happy with both. There quality rifles I have about 800 rounds on the.22 and about 80 rounds on the 6.5. The .22 I have groups 3/4” 1/2” multiple groupings. All day long I had a 20 shot group at 50 yards 5/8”. One hole I amazed myself. I’m not a great shooter I’m just learning. What a rifle. One of the owners of Element Optices saw my rifle ask if I liked it. And he bought one. I think it would be great if you reached out to him. That would be a great for you to meet him. The Element optics company has a great line of scopes. New company. He’s name is Shane with Element Optics. Thanks a lot Dan for quality rifles. And the service at Bergara Georgia is great. Thx Bryan.
Very nice. I think you should spend time on discussing the difference in the barrels and the stocks, if there are any. The barrel is the heart of the rifle and the stock is critical to the accuracy of the rifle.
Agree. Bergara marketing needs some help! Stop assuming people know the difference between a #5, #5.5 and #6 barrel. Also, no mention of differences in Triggers, bolt angle/throw, etc. Had I not seen a Bergara B14 on the shelf and felt the balance and trigger, Id be left with questions as I shop for a new rifle. I probably would have passed them up entirely...
I have the Wilderness Terrain in 6.5 CM. I know the Premier series is supposed to be a nicer rifle, but I would not trade my terrain for a premier series. The Wilderness Terrain is the best shooting rifle I have ever shot, and the finish is perfect on it. Everyone that has seen it was impressed by the quality of the rifle for the price. Bergara fan for life.
the cerakote scratches very easily in my rifle.
I have a premier lrp 2.0 and absolutely wouldn't trade mine for a wilderness or divide 😂 it's superior in every way.
@@garcex1382😅 ok
I Have a Premier Highlander I’m 6.5 PRC, and boy is it PERFECT. Amazing in every way. Will only recommend Bergara From now on!
I have to admit I have many bolt action rifles some from WWI and have never experienced lite primer strike problems before I purchased my $1700 Bergara Ridgeback 300PRC you would think that these things would have been dealt with in the beginning long before the rifles were released to the public and to make matters worse I only put 40 rounds through this rifle and had tight chamber problems it even pulled a round apart when I tried too extract it because of a failure too fire so I send the Ridgeback back to Bergara and it returns to me a month later and I take it to the range and chamber issue is gone but I still have lite primer strikes unbelievable this is so bad for PR not to mention safety.
Hey Scott. I'm sorry you're still having problems with your rifle. It could be an ammo problem, but if you've already done the trouble shooting on that, you could give customer service a call and get a replacement spring. Here's the video for the install procedure:

Holy cow Dan, you looked the same as you did back in ANGLICO. This is Hsieh.
I have 2 bergara rifles, a hmr b14 in 6.5 and a b14 ridge in 7 rem mag both which i enjoy shooting. Ive found numerous videos on youtube about the bolt design which seems to break often. Mine havent yet, thankfully, but they are still virgin guns with less than 60 rounds on the 6.5 and less than 30 on the 7 rem mag. Im hoping whatever design flaws there were with the bolt have been ironed out and i dont run into any of those problems. That being said they shoot wonderfully.
What do you think of your 2 bergaras? Would you recommend them and which one would you suggest for hunting. I really like the HMR but am worried about the heavy weight for hunting.
What are you hunting, where and how?
If the larger ejection port is better, why not do that to both? Also why not include the floating bolt head? Savage has that on rifles in the $500 dollar range. It's a great design but it is not a huge cost add. Not trying to bash, just curious.
"two hundred thousandths of an inch" - does that even make a difference? I hear what you're saying......but I doubt it's making any difference at all for ejection.
@@JP-wl5vj Just to give you an idea, pro spec racing pistons have tolerances of about 4 thou of a inch while normal cars are much higher. The human eye will never even notice a difference its so small.
@@dy3812 200 THOU of an inch = .200
Not .004 like you are talking about;
you def. can see .200 which is .05 away from 1/4” (.250) or 250 THOU
@@av8rbri473 thanks for correcting me
Bought a b14 hmr in 6.5 creedmoor some months back. Haven’t looked back since. Thinking of a wilderness hmr in 300 prc next.
Update, have since bought a b14 hmr in 300 prc as well.
love everything about the rifle except how the bolt handle is brazed on.
Got a Premier HMR Pro in 300 PRC, and everyone that shoots it goes out and buys a Bergara. Nothing more needs to be said.
The Premier is essentially a modified Savage 110 action and the standard is closer to a regular Remington 700.
Dan, it would be great if you could offer more than the B-14 HMR in left hand.
Wish I'd done some homework before I bought one of your rifles.
What holds me back from buying a Bergara is the 90° bolt action angle.
I can´t help it, but I want a bolt action with more clearance to the scope.
There still plenty of clearance with both of my B-14’s.
Agree should be 60 degree. 👍👍🇨🇦
They're awesome rifles. I now got 3 HMRs, B14 308, wilderness 300prc, cva paramount, and also got the premier approach in 6.5 creedmoor
I recently purchased the Premier Pro 6.5PRC. At 1st glance I thought Damn all that extra $$$ for just 2 inches more on a barrel. Hell No..Then I really read up on it and watched all the videos on comparison oftge 2.
I am so glad I spent the extra money.
Can you actually demonstrate the disassembly and assembly of the premier bolt?
So are the barrels the same?
Every thing is great i was sold last year until click "no bang" firing pin spring issues 8 shots of 15 factory ammo no detonation. light primer strike?! Shot the same in buddy's rifle bang. Went on line check other folks suffer same malfunction brand new out of the box.
Did u get replies? Has Bergara taken care of you?? Customer service is right up there with firearm choice.
@@micstica they sent me a spring. Removing and changing out Begara HMR Pro is different from your usual Rem 700 I left it there will get back another time. Lost my interest a bit. Project for my son
are the bolts interchangeable if the same caliber?
I am very interested in the Bergara Ridgeback from the premier series. But I am left handed. Does Bergara accommodate a left handed shooter on this rifle?
Would you consider upping your seven bores to a 1:9 twist?
Interesting consideration for Bergara... I have a B14 Ridge in 270 Win It would have been a much greater rifle and a more "innovative" way to promote brand difference if they had given this rifle a faster twist rate like 9.5 or 9 and a longer throw to the land (!!!) to accommodate longer modern projectiles...
I've been hoping to see a HMR in 7mm08
Even better a 1: 8.5 twist for 7mm rem mag
@@pbeaman8231 would be perfect.
Are Fluted Bolts available for the B-14 Series Rifle?
Will you do a video on how to change the trigger on the B-14 series? I want a Trigger Tech on mine.
Watch any video on changing a Remington 700 trigger and you’ll be fine. On my B-14 ridge the trigger pins slid to the same side as opposed to Remington’s tapered pins coming out from opposite sides.
@@brenthanson894 thanks for that information. I have a B-14 Ridge also.
My B-14 HMR 22-250 has the trigger adjustment in the same spot as the Premier your featured on the video and does not require disassembly. Does this mean that I also have the TriggerTech trigger? I'm very happy with the rifle BTW.
Is lubrication or grease recommended at all anywhere on the premier bolt?
Shot to shot consistency with bedding or chases or??? How does the stock and action mate up?
The Premier rifles should all have aluminum bedding blocks
Any difference in stock material?
Yes, our Premier stocks are all currently outsourced. Some are full carbon fiber, and some are chassis. The HMR Pro will be the same material as the other series.
@@BergaraOfficial I guess to be more specific and firstly thank you for responding, but I'm looking at the premier mountain 2.0 would that be a chassis or carbon fiber. again thank you for taking the time to respond
What about the difference in the mounts?
Their both Rem 700 short/long action compatible. Is that what you were asking about?
Do they have the same mounts and mounting hardware?
@@benwallace4581 different mounting screws. Get the Spanish one. Watch the American Rifleman show that was allowed into the factory. Shilen had input on how to make those barrels. In this case cheaper is better.
You need to the premier in a leftie.
Does the premiere Highlander have a 2 stage trigger?
It is a single-stage trigger by TriggerTech. Here's their page:
triggertech.com/pages/how-it-works
Lovely tools. Do you get the money value, I guess so BUT this business of havlng to remove the stock to adjust trigger pull on the b14 is a really petty move.
Petty? You make it sound like it was done in an attempt to purposely frustrate people. Im sure it was a cost cutting measure to keep their rifles affordable.
The Premier rifles have TriggerTech Special triggers. They run about $210ish (2023), and are not hard to find if you want one. The B-14 rifles have a Bergara trigger that's cheaper to make a competitve price point. That's just how it goes.
Any difference in barrels?
Pro barrel is trash and shoots like a sawn off Mossberg. Go with the standard.
@@rifleshooterchannel208 What make the Pro barrel trash?
@@eastrauss2840 The performance.
I got a bregará b14 wilderness ridge 308 like a month ago and it’s already starting to peel. There’s a clear coat like finish that is chipping and flaking off of the whole rifle. What should I do?
Man that sucks! Here's the link to contact our customer service. Tell them what's happening and we'll take care of you...

It’s a junk finish.
Equivalent to generic Walmart spray paint.
I’ve seen an appreciable amount come off on an alcohol dampened q-tip I was using to degrease the scope rail holes, I’ve rattlecanned many rifles and even basic $3 a can matte Rustoleum doesn’t come off that easy.
The Premier model is *scam.*
All the extra $400 dollars gets you is a crappy spray on finish and a whole heap of light primer strikes.
Pretty sure _Bergara_ is a Spanish word that roughly translates to _Buy a Savage._
@rifle I was actually listening to you until you said get a savages instead. Just from that comment I know you need to change your channels name because there’s no way in heck a savage is anywhere near as fine quality as a Bergara. Look at the savages sloppy plastic feeling action
@@dhayes1995 The results on paper are all that matter. I’ve never seen a heavy/varmint Savage, when put in a proper stock, that shot worse than 3/4 MOA.
Or that failed to fire 25% of the time.
Couldn’t tell you what the action on any bolt gun ever actually felt like because I’m usually too busy shooting them and not flicking the bolt up and down at the gunshop acting like I know something 😂
@s d Savage at least doesn’t constantly misfire or have a “Pro” factory finish that is not even as durable as Krylon.
Do the Premier series bolt handles break off while the sales clerk shows you the rifle you waited a month to get? My wife is a better TIG welder than the guy who welds that handle on, less than 10% penetration on both welds. I walked out with my money back in my wallet
Spare us the two hundred thousands of an inch pitch.......... please
Why in the hell would u make one .200 longer and not the other. They have intentionally made one shit for no reason. They could make the upgrade action out of 4140 and it would be a cheaper version. I can’t believe anyone would fall for this bullshit
Why is the stainless considered superior to 4140?
