The new Bergara Premier Series Highlander is a fantastic all-around rifle that incorporates high-end features into a more affordable production package.
Bergara continues to build impressively accurate rifles with smart features, and the new Ridgeback is a prime example. Though it was designed primarily for Precision Rifle Series match shooters, the Ridgeback easily doubles as a hunting rifle when shots are long.
A great mountain rifle is lightweight, accurate and able withstand all weather conditions. Regardless of the game you’re pursing or your budget, there’s a rifle on this list for you.
The nicely balanced B-14 HMR (Hunting & Match Rifle), perhaps more than any other offering from Bergara, proves the company's considerable capabilities as a rifle maker. It isn’t too heavy or bulky for carrying through the foothills, and its adjustable stock, compatibility with AICS-pattern detachable box magazines and heavier-than-average barrel make it worthy of a precision rifle match, too.
This year, Bergara adds a new member to the B-14 family of bolt-action hunting rifles, the B-14 Ridge. Is it a varmint and predator gun? Yes. A versatile big-game rifle? Indeed. One of the best values in bolt guns for 2018? Without question.
Bergara combines a nimble, sporter-style stock with a precision, No. 5 contour barrel in the B-14 Ridge. Like all B-14 rifles, which are made at the Bergara factory in Spain, the action in the Ridge has a two-lug bolt with a sliding-plate extractor and a coned nose for smooth feeding.
