If you’re buying a car, you test drive it first. If you’re interested in an expensive bottle of booze or a box of nice cigars, you’d likely consider a taste at a bar or purchasing a single stogie first. Unfortunately, try before you buy is difficult or impossible to do with firearms, unless you know someone who owns the one you want.

While that fact may be good for TTAG’s gun review traffic, it would be ideal if prospective buyers could take guns for a test drive before breaking out the plastic. Well, Bergara will be hitting the road to do just that:

The Bergara Experience, Free Public Events Coming This Summer

The chance to get hands on and test drive a Bergara B14 and the Premier series of rifles is coming to North Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama firearms enthusiasts at three public ranges.

Lawrenceville, Ga. (August 2017) – Bergara Rifles, a division of BPI Outdoors, is pleased to announce The Bergara Experience, a free-to-the-public opportunity to test and shoot the Bergara B14 and Premier series of rifles on long range courses. The first event will be held this weekend, August 5th at Woody’s Hunting and Rifle Club in New Hill, North Carolina and the next one is scheduled for August 19th at the White Feather Precision Shooting range in Ardmore, Tennessee. The final Bergara Experience for the month of August will be held the 26th at the Barbour Creek Shooting Academy in Eufaula, Alabama.

Woody’s Hunting and Rifle Club is south of Raleigh and twelve miles south of Apex at exit 84 on US 1 South, located at 180 Woodland Drive, New Hill, North Carolina. Starting at 8 a.m. until noon on Saturday, August 5th, participants can try out the Bergara B14 and Premier series of rifles under Woody’s covered range out to 550 yards.

  1. Yeah … I’ll place a wager they’re not coming to my home town any time soon – too small.

    But if they hit Denver or Albuquerque it might be worth the drive.

  2. I’m only 3.5 hours from the NC location, but three days’ notice is too short for me. My next rifle will most likely be a Bergara anyway, but I’d love a chance to shoot a few of them first.
