Big Game Hunting Podcast
by John McAdams
2w ago
Sometimes you just find a rifle that just flat out works: it fits you well, it’s not excessively large or heavy, has a nice trigger, it’s easy to shoot accurately, it’s not finicky and doesn’t require an extensive break-in process, and seems like it loves all the ammo you feed it. Well, Bergara's new Wilderness Sierra rifle checks all of those boxes for me. I used that rifle on my recent moose hunt and I'm thrilled with how it performed. Here's a detailed break-down of everything you need to know about this new rifle! Sign up here to receive a 10% off promo code for all products Bergara sells ..read more

I just made it home from an outstanding moose hunt in Colorado with my son!
