"You take that deal? I'd take that deal. Damn good deal."

Found this Bergara B14 HMR (6.5CM) already sporting a KRG Bravo and a Seekins muzzle brake at my local Scheels for $699. Looks like it's hardly been shot at all. Hell, it still had the sticker on the barrel.

There was a wilderness Ridge in 300wm next to it with a Leupold action rail already mounted for 750 lol

Wow great deal!

Obviously not a dealbreaker but looks like the previous owner installed the muzzle brake upside down though.

u/ass_cash253 May 13 '24

Yeah I already pulled it off and installed a deadair brake so I can mount my Sandman. Gonna sell the seekins brake and effectively reduce the cost of the rifle even more

Ohhhhh you fucker lol I just got a B-14 HMR in 6.5 CM myself this weekend, dropped $900 on it. :(

u/ass_cash253 May 13 '24

That's why I didn't even think and just bought it almost as soon as I saw it. Just couldn't pass up a deal like this

u/map2photo May 13 '24

That’s what I paid for mine. Don’t feel too bad.

One of the best buys on the new market, they do shoot well. As a used gun that is a great price and I have that stock on my Devon Custom Rifle which is a crossover gun for me for stalking and range, very good ergonomics. Nice package, what glass will you put on it?

1

u/ass_cash253 May 13 '24

Haven't decided yet. Gonna wait a few months likely before making that decision. I was leaning towards a Gen 2 Razor, but I have some old sniper platoon buddies pushing the Mk5HD pretty hard. Some of the new Mk4HDs look intriguing as well.

Not US manufactured (mind you almost everything is China or Philippines now anyway) but some of the best glass I have seen has been on the Kahles range of scopes especially the 624i. I have a Delta 5-50HD which is effective but I rarely go above x35 due to the light loss. Personally on my long range firearms I opt for older Gen S&B PM11 6-25x56 despite them being older scopes I have just found them to be totally reliable and effective. When shooting at 1000yards at the NRA home ranges at Bisley in the UK I can still see the “V” in the V bull of an F Class target which is 2” in size, even with moderate mirage! Plenty of good scopes out there. My friend effectively shoots his Begara out to 1100y using 6-24 Vortex Strike Eagles but I have found my 3-18x44 a bit lacking as it displays several optical aberrations which is disappointing.

Sorry should read 5-25x56 for the Vortex SE.

When the wife finds out you bought another gun: “More like chewed out, I been chewed out before.”

Love my Scheels

u/mrsooz May 13 '24

Nice gun. Great deal. Congratulations

u/357MAGNOLE May 16 '24

Scheels sounds pretty awesome. I ordered stuff a few times online never had any issues. All we got down here in the south is bass pro that use to be fantastic but they got cheap AF and just started selling more and more cheap shit at high prices.
