I'm on my second B14 HMR in 22 250 , the first didn't group under 3 in. at a hundred yards no matter what you fed it and this one although somewhat better is not what I'd consider an accurate rifle.Are you guys still having luck with your b14 HMR? I was debating on selling my RPR and trying one of these. Nothing wrong with my Ruger I just like how these look better.
I’ll be sure to follow this as I’m looking to do the same down the road. Always a fan of a good two stage, im curious to see reviews on geissele’s new super 700 offering. I’ve got high hopes as literally every AR I own houses a geissele. Heard a lot of really good things about the triggertech diamond too though.... decisions decisionsSo who has swapped out the triggers in their HMR's? I threw a Timney 510 in mine that I had lying around. I wanted to try and bring the pull weight down closer towards my match rifle. Turns out with the heavy firing pin spring, it'll only go down to about 2.5 lbs without occasionally tripping when closing the bolt. I was hoping for about 1.5 lbs. Anyone have any feedback on which triggers will successfully get down to this? I'm looking at picking up a Calvin Elite single or two stage to try just because I have a gift card. Thanks in advance
From the Timney web site about their Calvin Elite Trigger:So who has swapped out the triggers in their HMR's? I threw a Timney 510 in mine that I had lying around.

I swapped the stock Bergara trigger on mine with a Trigger Tech Primary and I can adjust it down to 1.5 pounds with no issues (1.5 pounds is the Primary minimum weight). If you put in a special, you can go lower (Diamond is even lower still. 8 oz on the low end, I believe). Biggest benefit of the TT over the better pull and weights, it can be adjusted without removing the action from the stock, you merely adjust it with an Allen key in the trigger guard, every click is a 1 oz increment. It was the first thing I changed on my Bergara, and I have no regrets.So who has swapped out the triggers in their HMR's? I threw a Timney 510 in mine that I had lying around.

Ask your LGS if they'll let you shoot one and you won't be on the fence any longer, I've been enjoying mine since I got it and it's a keeper.Very good information on the HMR. I'm on the fence to buy one now in 6.5 as i have handled one a few times at my LGS.
How did the Accushot BT17 rail work out? Any issues or are you happy with it?I recently received my new Bergara b14 HMR In 6.5 creed and I've received a ton of questions from people about it, but haven't seen much on the web outside of shot show coverage. So here's my rifle, and I'd be glad to answer any questions.
A couple observations....
The stock, though it is very reminiscent of a manners etc, is no where near as beefy, you can flex the fore end without a ton of effort. But it is quite comfortable and the adjustments are easy and solid. I probably won't change the stock until I rebarrel it and need to make room for a barrel nut.
The front sling studs are a little farther apart than most, about 3.2" and will require an Accushot BT17 rail (waiting on mine) to mount an atlas bipod or any other pic mounted bipod.
i put a timney 517 in it, with zero issues. They say the stock trigger can only adjust down to 2.8 but it felt really good to me out of the box, crisp with no creep. If I didn't already have the 517, I would have let it be.
Has been working fine for me for quite some time now, without issues and was an easy install.How did the Accushot BT17 rail work out? Any issues or are you happy with it?
Thank you, appreciate the infoHas been working fine for me for quite some time now, without issues and was an easy install.
Here's my take on it, and why i sold the HMR.... I dont hunt, and i feel that the HMR (hunting and match rifle) stands true to its name. The compromise they made with the 22" barrel, makes it a great rifle for matches and hunting. But since i only planned to shoot matches with it, it made more sense to me to sell it to fund an action for my dedicated match build.
I'm replying to an old post for anyone rereading it. I just bought a Bergara b-14 HMR in 6.5 and it comes with a 24" barrel.
Try reaching out to Dewey Rods for a custom bore cleaning guide. They made one for me to use in my Kimber Mountain Ascent and it works perfectly. https://deweyrods.com/?s=bore+guideI'm trying to find a bore guide for the Bergara B-14 BMP in 6.5 Creedmoor.
I've checked many places including the Bore Guide Chart on Possum Hollow Products website and have not been able to locate one.
Since both the HMR and BMP use the same action, what guide do you use?
Since this thread has been re-born, here is my 2 cents on the HMR...
The HMR is a great compromise between a hunting and match rifle, but it is a compromise. I never planned on hunting with mine (as it is still heavy), but if you are going to shoot A LOT of matches, I would opt for the 24" or go with a different rifle altogether. The extra velocity (and weight) will make a difference at longer distances.
34 oz with the Premier bolt, based on some arithmetic I did over the weekend.Does anyone happen to know the weight of the b14 action alone?
Awesome, thank you!34 oz with the Premier bolt, based on some arithmetic I did over the weekend.
