Begara b14 hunter vs American predator Vs xbolt

[Remington92]

Hey all, does any one have experience with these rifles? I'm looking for a good truck gun/ semi long range shooter and hunting rifle. I handled all three at a gun store today and that Bergara looks like a slick rifle for the money but the ruger leaves room for more of an optics budget and the xbolt is dang nice feeling rifle! Also trying to decide between 260, 6.5 creed, and 7mm-08 but leaning towards 6.5 because of rifle availability.

If you were building which platform would you go with? Also please no savage or Tika recommendations, I understand they're good rifles but I've got a tika now and don't care for it and not a savage fan.

I do NOT spend any time messing with factory barrels anymore, however..... I acquired a B14 in 6.5 creed in a trade and the thing shoots!!! I have fired three ten shot strings ( complete cooling after each )
And all three where slightly over 3/4 moa which is very very good for a factory barrel with factory ammo.

I went in thinking the predator would be the way to go but that bergara felt like a waaaayyy more solid well built rifle but a lot of that was the difference in synthetic stocks

Seems like a decent buy?
