I recently bought a used Bergara b14 Ridge in 308 win. I had a tough time finding much information for hunting ammo online so i bit the bullet (pun fully intended), spent the money and tested several different loads last weekend. i had the best luck with Remington Hog Hammer 308 shooting a 168gr Barnes TSX bullet. I was getting groups just under 1".

Today i went to the CMP for the first time, shot the gun on the various ranges with a varying wind of 5-10mph from 90º left to right. i was very satisfied and was able to do a couple 1" groups at 200 and then i did an astonishing 6 shot 5" group at 600 yards. i don't consider myself much of a great shot (poor breathing on several shots, called fliers throughout the day). For a guy who is just shooting factory ammo, shooting a used gun, and with a simple 3-12 x 40 Nikon Prostaff scope, I am extremely satisfied. If you have a good opportunity on a Bergara, new or used, go for it. you will not be let down.

Good first post

Hitting the target at 600yds, with a riffle you've never fired is an accomplishment. A 5" group is awesome. Was that with the 168gr remingtons?

Good shooting and good first post. You didn't insult anyone and that's a step up from previous new posters. It's a welcome change and kind of disappointing all at the same time.

Your post reminds me I need to get to the range.

Dang no ass goblins here

I've got a Bergara in 6.5 it's way more accurate than me. Unless your going full custom I think it's one of the best production guns out there.

Yes that was the remingtons, had relatively low expectations bc I’m not much of a shot, but was pleasantly surprised. Very happy with my purchase.
