Thanks for the feedback guys, i will look into the Seekins rifles.
Sportsmans Warehouse get's their guns primarily from Davidson's and Lipsey's and both have not received any Ridgeback rifles at all.
308pirate you are just that guy aren't you ? Of course you are, there is always one in the crowd right ? Just a little hint, the bad language makes you look ignorant not tough like you think. Grow up and act like an adult or go find another forum to comment on.
What I expected Bergara to do for me is know their product and answer intelligently when it will be available to a customer who is spending $2000 on their product. Bergara is not a mass manufacturer on their Premier line,which the Ridgeback falls into. They are built in smaller batches by hand in Georgia whereas their B-14 line is produced in larger quantities in Spain. Bergara Spain to be precise.
Of course they sell to distributors but who do the distributors sell too? That's right little pirate, the general public and that includes myself. Now keep in mind the Ridgeback was introduced this year at SHOT SHOW in January so after almost a year they are not building enough rifles to support a new product line and cannot even give a timeframe when the rifles will be available. This is not only frustrating but bad business.
I have contacted most of the larger distributors and two of the biggest tell me they have no rifles and Bergara ignores them too or gives them the runaround. Lipsey's has had these rifles on order since the beginning of February right after they were introduced and has still not received one single rifle. So how many people like myself want one of these rifles or a better question is how many people have spent a large amount of money buying their competitors rifles because they cannot get their business practices refined.
