I purchased this at Scheels in Sioux City, IA (huge shout out to Noah for the help!!!). I broke the rifle in per the directions given in the literature. Shoot one, then clean for 5 rounds. My range was limited to 100 yards, but I will be sighting the rifle in at 200 yards later on.\n\nThe first shot was at 25 yards to get it on paper. 2nd, 3rd and 4th shot were about 1.5\" apart from each other (again, shoot then clean method). Adjustments were made to the scope to get me approx 1.5\" high at 100 yards. Shot 5, 6 and 7 yielded me a .75MOA group. The group was shot consecutively, given about 5 seconds between shots.\n\nSo far, I am very very pleased with the rifle. I was told the recoil was similar to a 308WIN, but I would say it's must more like a 243WIN with the Omni Muzzle Brake that came with the rifle. However, the concussion is quite dramatic. I wouldn't recommend shooting any firearms without hearing protection, but even with high quality muffs on, I was still hearing the thunder when the trigger was pulled.\n\nMuzzle velocity of the ammunition through my rifle was right around 2950FPS, matching what the box projects (which is 2960fps). All of my shots were within 15FPS of the 2960FPS, so good consisency.\n\nThe bolt on this rifle is excellent. Very smooth, polished, and easy to manipulate. I wish it was a 60 degree throw, but maybe in the future. I fed 4 rounds individually into the rifle's fixed magazine, never had any issues feeding. The other 3 I laid on top of the follower to see if that would cause an issue, smooth as silk. Ejection was consistent and even when gently pulling back, threw the brass from the receiver.\n\nThe trigger is great. I would guess it to be around 2-2.5lb, but I haven't gauged it. It was very consistent and broke like glass each time. Tiny little bit of uptake before you hit the wall, but then it's crisp and clean. You can't ask for a better hunting trigger than this.\n\nThe stock could use some work. While it's very sufficient for hunting, and offers smooth lines, I'm not a huge fan. I am more inclined to like the pistol grip styles with more of a vertical grip than one like this, but that's personal preference. The stock is a touch flimsy on the end, pressing it around will make it touch the barrel, but resting on a bipod shouldn't be an issue unless you apply more pressure. It should probably be a little more rigid in my opinion.\n\nOverall, this rifle was purchased to replace my other hunting rifles, and I think it will do a fine job of it. I would highly recommend it.","textLength":2564,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":true,"autoModerated":true,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":7,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[{"id":31167,"type":"photo","caption":"","imageType":"png","width":293,"height":467,"locale":"en_US","published":true,"dateCreated":"2022-10-18T15:54:59-04:00","normalUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/media/TXOE2FrZzlhkSdesite/789d5fbfbd51e2fbb4b9d9aa10f62b68_1666122894225_0_L1000.png","thumbnailUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/media/TXOE2FrZzlhkSdesite/789d5fbfbd51e2fbb4b9d9aa10f62b68_1666122894225_0_PZ320.png","originalUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/media/TXOE2FrZzlhkSdesite/789d5fbfbd51e2fbb4b9d9aa10f62b68_1666122894225_0.png","ipViolationFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"offensiveFlag":false,"spamFlag":false,"offTopicFlag":false,"tags":[]}],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"Rob B","firstName":"Robert","lastName":"Bell","emailAddress":"[email protected]","externalId":"abxbkZwrxIxbcRwucWxqYYlHxK","city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":"2022-10-22T17:16:57-04:00","purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2022-10-18T15:55:31-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"catalogItems":[{"sku":"17544-B14S502V","title":"Bergara SCHEELS Exclusive West River B-14 Ridge 6.5 Creedmoor Rifle","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/17544-B14S502V","category":"bolt-action-rifles","reviewCount":15,"ratingCount":15,"averageRating":4.7,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":1,"2":0,"3":0,"4":1,"5":13},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":1486585,"locale":"en_US","rating":1,"title":"Poor quality control/Customer service","text":"Bought this rifle in 6.5prc and had issues with it gouging up brass during feeding.
