I have a couple of the Bergara Ridge's, one in 300 Win Mag. The HMR has a slightly heavier barrel profile but same trigger and action. The action is very smooth and the trigger is excellent. The Ridge I have in 270 Win had a factory trigger that came at 2 lbs...lower than factory says it goes. It has almost no creep and just a touch of over travel. The trigger on the 300 is about 2.5lbs and the same on creep and over travel. All Rem 700 aftermarket parts fit the Bergara's as well. They are heavier rifles but that helps to offset the recoil a bit. For all-around use they're hard to beat for the money...for a pure woods gun I'm with VaHillbilly as the Tikka's are light and handle well in tighter situations.
