Local shop has a Bergara hmr pro premier line in 6.5 Creedmoor.
Price is 1499 I currently have a cdl .243 and a sendero 300 wm. I really have no reason to get this but I love guns and the action is very smooth.  Any issues? I recall reading about the standard hmr and some bolt shroud issues or some nonsense? Any issues with the premier line? |

There were a couple of issues that I remember seeing with the bolt but they were taken care of. Not like Remington or any other factory rifle never has an issue right? If you like it then get it. They are nice rifles.

They are on my list. Probably a 300 PRC if I ever get one. I already have some nice 6 and 6.5
I have seem them around $1300 numerous times, but not recently. |

Went ahead and bought it. Placed an order with midway for some dies, lapua brass, and some 142smk. The shop had some 140 Berger vld and 1k brick of cci BR4 so I bought those as well. Euro optic has pst gen1 6-24 FFP mrad for 450 so I bought that too. Can’t wait. I cleaned the barrel and action and I’m ready for my components and optic to get here.

I paid $1455 for my HMR Pro HB in 6.5 Creedmoor. I was very pleased with my HMR and decided to add an HMR Pro to my collection.

I adjusted mine as low as it would go. Feels a little heavier than the flat blade timney I have in a rem 700 but overall the trigger is very nice.
If anyone is feeling generous please post some groups with you hmr pro. |

Provided I don't screw it up, mine will print a nice group.

Wow awesome I take it that was factory sig ammo? I’m hoping I can get a sub .5” with Berger or SMK handloads.

this appears to be the only HMR pro thread so i am hoping to get others honest opinions as i just starting to work on mine..
can you give you honest opinion on the bolt manipulation on yours. how smooth is it without pushing to bolt forward with your thumb gently just moving it with the bolt handle? mine has been cleaned and lube and it has not improved whatsoever. it is not smooth at all 2. how difficult is/ was it to remove the thread protector? which way should it actually turn if turning with the barrel pointed towards you with your left hand? i can not get my thread protector removed i don't have a rifle without a brake already on it so i can't test thank you! |

I had to use a tool
 Gritty as f I got it off, then put it back on, when it gets to the back of threads it grinds again so it clearly wasn’t cleaned after threaded... really disappointed Thanks I just wanted to make sure I turned it right initially |

Sorry to hear about the rifle hopefully it shoots. Mine is a 6.5 creed and I have No issues with the rifle.
 Attached FileThis is the best 3 shot group during load testing it’s a 142smk with H4350. I recently fired a .35”, 5 shot group with the same load. Almost every group I have fired is under .5 as well. Very accurate rifle. |

Okay, you have hit my "buy button".
I have shot the Creedmore in the 6.5, but I have yet to own one. The ballistics will probably make it legendary in the field of long distance low recoil shooting. I had the .338 Lapua, but a serious car wreck made shooting it agonizing. Since then I have been in the search for a gun like the 6.5 Creedmore that will perform. To purchase such a a caliber on an AR platform maybe more temptation than I can stand! |
