Any thoughts on the Bergara HMR 6.5? Looking at it for an intro to long range shooting option without breaking the bank.

I had a RH model for several years. Bought it used here. It was well-made and satisfactory in every way. It’s a bit heavy, but balanced ok. Stock offers good ergos and adjustability. The action is an improved 700 and slick. I put a Timney in mine and had no issues getting it to shoot good groups. I wound up selling it off for a Sig Cross, as I wanted something lighter, but it’s a good product.


Now with even more aplomb

I think you could do a heck of alot worse. I'm satisfied with mine. I would suggest a good solid mounting system. You will not need any sort of MOA rail just a solid mount and scope. Side Not: I am a MOA shooter on my average day, I hold MOA with my B14 HMR out about 500-600yds.not much farther and my abilities fall to pot. Maybe A NATZAZZ shooter can chime in and set you straight;) YMMV
