I didn't want to, but I walked in my LGS and saw this Bergara HMR B-14 Wilderness with their nice stocks ( which I like) and a very beefy barrel. I would challenge the notion of HMR HUNT MATCH RIFLE with a barrel that thick for hunting but I'm glad they made it. LGS pricing wasn't bad but GB was $1,029 and $19 shipping. If my LGS showed any interest in my business I would have gladly lost a few dollars but they were very much on their high horse.

That beefy barrel for long range shooting should be awesome. Range report to follow.
