    I just saw that Bergara is offering their HMR in 7rem mag, and I’m curious if anybody has one and can share their thoughts on it...?

    I live and hunt (elk and mule deer) in Wyoming where longer shots aren’t uncommon at all (to date my furthest shot on a critter has been just under 600 yds). Anyways, I’ve always liked the 7mm Rem Mag for a LR/hunting cartridge- especially with the 168gr Berger HVLD.

    So, I’m wanting to see if anyone has hands on experience with one of these rifles before I buy one... thanks guys!
     
    I have like 700 168gr VLD, love them. I also want a 7mm rem mag from bergara. Seeing as they just released left hand actions, and a 7mm rem mag, I'm hoping sooner, rather than later, they release a 7mm left hand premier. Have you shot a bergara? I have an HMR pro in 6.5 creedmoor. It's my first true precision rifle, not just a hunting rifle that is really accurate, and I am blown away by it.
     
    The HMRs are ok but are somewhat mass produced and some are better than others. I wouldn't buy one online. Handle them until you find a good one and then barter to get a good price. Also they have smallish screws for the rail mount and it's important to torque precisely and use loctite. Otherwise I like them. They are a lot of rifle for 800 bucks
