Bergara Ridge - 12/13/19
Wondering if anyone here has used the Bergara Ridge rifle. Seems like an interesting rifle and I read a lot of good things. I'd like a 7mm rem mag, and the extra heft of the heavier barrel contour seems like it might do me some good when it comes to recoil. Overall the weight is supposed to be 7.9 lbs.
I'm also considering the Bergara Hunter with the green stock. It's not exactly light either at 7.1 lbs.
I'm curious about what benefits I might get from the heavier Ridge rifle. Besides reduced recoil with greater weight, will the heavier barrel make much of a difference in accuracy?
Also, I'm curious about the soft-touch stock on both models. I'm wondering how they'll hold up over time, since I've heard about similar stocks from Sako and Browning getting tacky over time.
If anyone has any experience with the Ridge or some other insight into this stuff, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
