Remington 700 ADL or Bergara B14 HMR 6.5 Creedmore. PRS Competition

[JuantoPRS]

Good night, boys.

Excuse my English. It's not very good and I use an online translator.

I compete in PRS in Spain (Europe) where we have been with this modality for a couple of years. Here we have a tough gun regulation and it's great news for us to be able to compete again for the third year in a row.

I currently compete with a Tikka .308 with a KRG Bravo chassis and am very happy. But we're going to start pulling at long distances (1000, 1200 meters) and I'm looking for something for those distances.

I thought of a Remington 700 ADL in 6.5 Creedmore or a Bergara B14 HMR also in 6.5 Creedmore. What makes me think a little bit is the short life of the cannons that this caliber has because it is so fast (about 3000 shots) What do you think would be better and longer? We can't change the guns of the rifles here, so I value the life of the cannon.

I decide on these two rifles because I have an ATAICS chassis from a former Rem700 Police that I already sold and also a muzzle brake for it.

Can you give me any advice?

Thank you very much to all in advance and a greeting.

So you cannot change the barrel?

If no, the Bergara will be better than a standard ADL.

Can you reload that .308? If so, you can definitely reach your distances with a solid .308 load and will maximize barrel life over a 6/6.5mm offering.

Another vote for bergara

 

[chevy_man]

Bergara.

So you're saying you can't send the rifle back to Bergara for a new barrel?

¿No puedes enviar el rifle a Bergara por un nuevo cañón?

.308 is the only cartridge I know of that's possible to push 5000 rounds. Almost every 1000 meter capable cartridge is going to be 2500 or less.

 

[SonicBurlap]

Bergara.

What is your targets average distance? If its likes the US then id guess 500-800yrds with some 1000-1200 sprinkled in there.

I would keep shooting the 308 in that situation and use what you have.

Hi chevi.

Yes, Bergara are the only rifles to which we can change the barrel for the arms laws in Spain by having a factory in the country. But there are many documents and bureaucracy that make buying a new rifle almost more worthwhile than exchanging a barrel.

so far we were shooting at 110, 220 yd. This year we start with 550, 1100 and 1300 yd.


So the value of the life of the canyon. If I got easier at those distances with the Creed, I would leave the 308 for short distances.

Thank you very much for your answers. And forgive the delay in coming back here.

Greetings to all.

Bergara. And if your able, go with 6.5 PRC

For normal PRS use?
I personally wouldn’t hamper myself with the extra recoil that extra speed gets me.

If he's got issues with getting the Bergara re-barreled the 6.5 Creedmoor barrel life will suit him just fine compared to the 6.5 PRC.

Yeah, let's advise someone who can't rebarrel to use a barrel burning cartridge.

When it's cheaper and easier to buy a new rifle than rebarrel a short mag isn't the option.
