I've touched one on a rack in a shop. Looks like an ideal rig for someone who wants a cross over type set up.
I have briefly stroked the 20" barrel version - I like the Bergara rifles and this one seemed like quite a lot of rifle for the money. Shame it's not a stainless barrel though ...
Yeah, I'm currently using Finn in 6.5x55 for longer range wallaby shooting
Saw this in the local , thought it may do the trick if it accurate.
Bang the 10 power back on the Finn and use it as the good Catholic God intended.
God bless you Owen
This is why I love having mates that are into shooting, Always looking for an answer to a problem that didn't really exist in the first place hahahaha
But................... isn't this what we do.:)
Well I've looked about the www and cannot find anything that expounds the Crest as a very accurate rifle, Moa +/_ is what I'm seeing
Anyone have any real world experience yet ?
cheers.
Yeah as said shame they don't do more in stainless......also they are dropping a lot of calibres.
Not sure if they have the Canyon model on the shelves yet in NZ

Blue and cerokote is my preference harder
That's going on the list for sure
I took it down and fondled it myself this afternoon
I really like it, wish the thread was 1-14 though like some of the others Begara's and my two 6.5 suppressors. I would also like to see some good reviews about though.
There is plenty of video about by the looks but I much prefer print reviews than the utube stuff
Showing my age I guess.
Every bergara I've had a test drive on/owned shot well. Don't see why this would be any different. Stock on them looks nice. One of them in 6.5 would make a mean mid to lr wobbly gunQuote:

I've got no complaints with my 18inch 6.5cm extreme hunter. It's a lot more capable than I am. I've never before been able to experience watching the shot hit the animal, it's such a pussy cat to shoot.
@jakewire Did you buy it yet?Quote:

Not that encouraging, maybe when more people get hold of and load for there might be better range reports.
I'm not spending the thick end of 3K to be the guinea pig though.
@jakewire
Is it this one ? Or is the 14 '2' different?
It is subtitled

Jim on the Youtube Backfire channel plugs Begara's quite a bit. Don't know if he has done that one though
Think so, looks exactly like it,Quote:

I handled one yesterday.... big mistake. Fits like a glove
Looks really nice ,well thought out bit of kit
My old boy has just got one in 6.5creed second hand off tm. Amazing rifle for the money. Shoots half inch groups with the 143 Hornady hunter stuff, had it hitting gongs at 700m within the first box of ammo. Only thing that needs a little work is the trigger but that will be easy.
