Man - I know its only a couple of responses, but you guys took me out of panic mode wondering if I made a mistake! Lol

I had 2 B 14's, returned them both couldn't get below 1.0 moa. They were in 22 250. The Premier is much better quality. Good luck.

I researched these extensively; B 14s were hit or miss with poor design features like firing pin/primer pocket/bushing/shroud problems. Premier uniformly got good reviews; essentially hand assembled by a single guy (veteran armourer) so good to go. I can't abide synthetic stocks except in ARs though and Premier doesn't come that way so didn't go that route. You should have a good shooter.

I picked up a premier highlander in 300win and it shoots great all around perfect rifle. Wish they would come out with a couple different calibers in that one. Ignore the oal I'm an idiot

Have a HMR 6.5 Creedmoor, with 24" barrel, I am very impressed with the fit, finish and accuracy with my rifle. During break-in was shooting through the same hole. Have a 3.6 x 18 Mark V Leopold scope on it was able to track and shoot 1 inch increments horizontally and vertically with this set up use an atlas bipod. I agree with Damon Finley wish they would come out with additional calibers.

I just purchased a 2019 model Bergara Premiere Approach in 6.5 Creedmor. I got it from their web site as it was supposedly in liquidation sale. Even so it cost me some serious bucks (no pun intended). I own many Bergara rifles a B14 hunter in 270 win, two B14 Wilderness Terrains in 7 mag and 300 win mag, a B14 HMR in 7 mag, a Bergara Premier Mountain gun ver 1.0 in 270 win and finally the 2019 model Bergara Premiere Approach in 6.5 CR. The two premiere's are the most expensive purchases I have made. I have to say that I contacted BPI outdoors twice since the beginning of the year and both times the person answering the phone seemed impatient and uncooperative. Usually when staff at a company get this way it's because the company is not doing so well financially. Has anyone heard if the USA branch of Bergara is in financial trouble?

Yeah I really like the stock on those but I get sticker shock every time I look at them. Last year in December they were liquidating some old inventory of the Bergara Mountain Rifle 1.0 in 270 Win. I purchased one and not long after someone else picked up the last one. The 2019 Premier Approach in 6.5 CR was also available at that time but I decided to pass on it. After a couple of months I rethought my position and picked one of those up also. Due to the ammo shortages and the pandemic I haven't been able to test the two premiers at my local range. I am taking a chance that the reputation of the Bergara USA won't let me down however and when things normalize again they will both shoot sub moa groups at 100 yds. We'll see if it turns out like this.

A fellow at the range had one(Ridgeback?) in .300 win mag and it would shoot slightly ragged, 1 hole groups off a bipod and bag. It was a real pleasure to shoot. I took it out to the 500 yard max of the range and it was easy to shoot u Der 1/2moa groups over and over.
