Bergara B14r - ARA Approved for 2023 - Any good? (Episode 2)

[@chadhale8877]

What brand and model bipod are you using? I can’t seem to find one.

[@AimSmallMissSmall_TV]

This is what I normally use. www.harrisbipods.com/product/1a2-br2-bipod/

[@jefflayton5889]

The bmr sucks sorry to say, i hated mine and traded it for the b14r

[@AimSmallMissSmall_TV]

It is too early to tell but seems like my BMR has potential

[@250-25x]

looks like it's settling down nicely Bret. Mine has liked sk from the beginning and I'm only running long range match because it has the lowest es and SD. Also mine likes almost 100% free recoil. I run an f class style bipod I built up front similar to yours without the joystick and a bag in the back . Of course I sort all My ammo with the tool I build, 😉Have fun,. G

[@AimSmallMissSmall_TV]

Do you mind sharing by which measurement(s) you sort? Weight, OAL, Rim Thickness, Concentricity? I am very interested, In 2022 I only sorted by weight.

I really like your videos and I subscribe to your Channel I just bought a br 14 bergara 22 and I was wondering I might have missed it but have you ever used the Ely club or the elite Target those are the ones that are more formal for my situation wondering if you could give me any other steps that I might take under consideration when I shoot my rifle thank you very much

[@AimSmallMissSmall_TV]

Actually looks like I have failed to do much ammo testing on the Bergara, I’ll see if I can do more in the near future.

[@ShooterB1]

I appreciate you talking about your shooting style. I dont shoot with other people. I have my own range at home. I have tried free style and I have tried holding the rifle to hard. I have been trying to find a happy medium. I thought that maybe using my trigger hand to hold the rifle into my shoulder might be a bad thing. I thought all bench guys did free recoil. Free recoil didnt work for me. So I have been trying more and less force pulling back. Thank you for talking about these pointer.

[@AimSmallMissSmall_TV]

my pleasure, just having fun figuring things out and taking a few folks like yourself along for the ride.

[@kentdavis7438]

I think only the steel barrel is ARA approved.

[@AimSmallMissSmall_TV]

Correct

[@BillyBob-il8ot]

Wow nice rig! Awesome! I can see you winning many more matches. Consistency and repeatability is key to good groups.

[@AimSmallMissSmall_TV]

Consistency and repeatability is key to good groups Consistency and repeatability is key to good groups Consistency and repeatability is key to good groups Figured I copy that a few time to get it nailed in my head. This and Calling the wind are my two biggest goals this year. Thanks as always, Bret

@@AimSmallMissSmall_TV Wind is a hard variable to understand properly, especially when shooting multiple ranges. I use stakes every 20 yards with flags for 22lr. HV and standard velocity. I use a log book, (must) with wind meter readings and direction. I shoot long range and I did this for my HP rounds to 1500 yards every 50-100 yards. Wind can have 3-5 differing directions just to 500 -1000 yards. I learned and documented my favorite rounds/loads and rifles. It is tedious time consuming process. Your never will be exact on your wind calls, luck helps. Keep eyes open, watch foliage, watch meter in comparison + ribbons for direction and don't over tinkit!:) Punks work very well in 5 mile or less wind, place a clip on your target with a punk and learn with a ribbon in comparison and watch. They are awesome for mirage as well. I found 100 yards and in during windy days RWS 100 is what I'll shoot. Anschutz shoot this stuff MOA, but here is the best part it's exsposed to the windy conditions less in time. Meaning less wind drift. Not sure how any of your rifles shoot RWS 100, my Zypher loves em. EXSPENSIVE

[@karencollins9363]

My BMR shoots consistently shoots 2500 targets

[@AimSmallMissSmall_TV]

Excellent, what ammo do you shoot?

[@kentdavis7438]

What is the name of the bipod?

[@AimSmallMissSmall_TV]

Click on the rifle you'd like to see the setup of. Let me know if you need more into.

[@JoeSmith-pe5qv]

i am getting a b14r can you tell me what bore guide i can use

[@AimSmallMissSmall_TV]

Unfortunately, I don’t use a bore guide and can not reliably answer this for you. Enjoy the Bergara, I love mine.

[@JoeSmith-pe5qv]

@@AimSmallMissSmall_TV thanks

[@NoleFan90]

What brand of bipod is that?

[@davidnelson9568]

Great info ready to see you try the BMR.....

[@AimSmallMissSmall_TV]

Picked up the BMR last night, I'll hopefully have it at the range the Friday after next for its debut video.

[@davidnelson9568]

@@AimSmallMissSmall_TV Cool hope it shoots well for you… I took mine to a indoor range today and shot a 2500 for the 2nd time, so I know the gun and ammo is capable…. My job to read the wind at the next match…….
