Bergara HMR or BMP?

[MarkO76]

Hello all! So I've been doing some research in my quest to find a long range rifle, and I have a question for the hive mind, but first let me give y'all some background. I'm not a hunter I just enjoy putting lead down range. My local gun range goes out to 600 yards and in a couple of years I plan on having a place to try out 1000 yards. The local range does do F-class competitions and I would like to give that a go. I plan on shooting 6.5 CM, I have been leaning towards Bergara. I was at my local gun shop today (picking up another gun I ordered) and asked how much it would be to order the HMR. When he pulled it up I found out the HMR and the BMP would be the same price, so with all of that being said, which would you guys suggest? The HMR or the BMP?

Like the 3 lug bolt of the BMP. Also seems to be a slightly higher quality rifle over the HMR.

The HMR and BMP use the B14 action. It's a 2-lug, 90* bolt throw design. The difference is the stock vs chassis. I have the BMP and have been happy with it. But I'd also take a hard look at the Tikka tac a1. I really like the 60* bolt throw. The only downside to the tikka I can see is it uses non-aics pattern mags.
