The Bergara B-14 HMR (Hunting and Match Rifle) is a highly regarded precision rifle available in two popular calibers: 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Winchester. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge has gained significant traction in long-range shooting due to its exceptional ballistic performance, offering a high ballistic coefficient and relatively low recoil. In contrast, the .308 Winchester, a longstanding favorite among shooters, provides excellent accuracy and manageable recoil, making it suitable for both long-range precision shooting and hunting applications. While the 6.5 Creedmoor typically outperforms the .308 Winchester in terms of long-range ballistics, the .308 remains a dependable choice with a proven track record, particularly at extended ranges.

As a long-range shooting platform, the Bergara B-14 HMR excels in delivering precision and consistency, and is a PERFECT choice for folks looking to get into long-range shooting. Its renowned accuracy is attributed to Bergara's attention to detail in manufacturing, including a precision-machined receiver and a free-floating barrel, which enhance the rifle's inherent accuracy potential. The rifle features a fully adjustable stock, ensuring a comfortable and customizable fit for shooters of various sizes and preferences. The Bergara B-14 HMR's smooth bolt operation and crisp trigger contribute to its shootability and enable shooters to maintain focus on the target. The Bergara B-14 HMR stands as a reliable and capable choice for enthusiasts seeking a high-performance long-range shooting platform that won't break the bank!

*Correction* at 15:45 it was stated that the 308 falls faster than a 6.5. This is not the case. The 308 just spends more time in the air as it flies slower, and therefore spends more time being effected by gravity. We're not COMPLETE morons.

    In my limited experience, those Bergara HMRs offer excellent value for money. Weather permitting, they make ringing steel at 1000 yards a lot easier. Lobbing .308s beyond 600 yards is more of a gamble than lasering 6.5 Creedmoor, though.

    Ever seen those AR-10s in 300 Winchester Magnum? That’d be a interesting precision rifle.

    I have the bergara b14 wilderness hmr 6.5 creedmoor and can easily go half moa at 400yrds. Of course I have a range in my back yard, so I shoot all the time.

    Excellent video guys. Been debating between these two particular rifles to start my long range learning. I’ve got a local 300 yard range to test at, and I’ve been leaning toward .308 just because i already have some and its a little bit cheaper and more common to find.
