Thread: Bergara Wilderness Ridge Carbon - thoughts?

Considering one in 6.5PRC

Interested in thoughts from anyone who has or has had one. Do they meet the accuracy claim, are robust and reliable etc.

Cheers

Buy a tikka . Will be accurate , robust and reliable . Pimp it out with carbon fibre if you feel the need .

@veitnamcam has one I believe?

I have one and I can't fault it so far although not done any long range but its under 1MOA out the box

Thanks for the replies chaps.

Re Tikka - the Bergara comes with a brake, keen to know how good it is. Still a cost that does not need to be incurred. Have heard Tikkas are great out of the box.

Before someone jumps in. I have just seen some of the Tikka T3x come with factory muzzle brakes.

If you need a muzzle break on a 6prc you should stick to rimfire

Thanks for the constructive input @STC

I have a mountain 2.0

@veitnamcam what's your view on your Mountain 2.0? How well does it shoot? Was the weight they advertise it at accurate? What calibre did you get?

my 5c is that tikka and bergara are holden/ford. basically the same.

I've owned a couple of bergaras and have nothing bad to say about them.

I like the safety of the bolt system and it's a nice trigger.
I like the finish of the stock...not as slippery as plain carbon finish.
It's a 308, it shoots 130ttsx handload very well Indeed with no load development needed.
Shoots blue box fed around an inch I haven't tried anything else as went with the barnes load.
I have terminator products developing a subsonic load with maker projectiles atm.
Unsure on weight vs claimed? I had it shortened so a dpt was just clear of the stock before I even shot it, I think it ended up at 15.5 inch long
