[SHOT 2018] Bergara New Rifles For 2018

    Bergara has a new line of rifles for 2018. Their B-14 series has been widely popular and last year they introduced some precision models along with 6.5 Creedmoor. Well this year they are upping the ante and making a Premier line of HMR rifles.

    Their HMR Pro is a deluxe version of the HMR. It features a stainless steel barrel, action and bolt. The bolt is fluted with a non rotating gas shield. Their trigger is adjustable to under 2 lbs. Below is their Premier Approach rifle with a Grayboe stock and threaded barrel.

    Bergara will have short and long action Premier rifles. They are introducing .300 Win Mag in the HMR series.

    Their Ridge rifle has been updated with a heavy contour #5 taper barrel so it is now threaded. Their previous Ridge rifles had a narrower barrel which made threading them difficult. The diameter is crucial to have a proper shoulder for the threads.
