re: Bergara B-14 HMR

For the money it's a great value.

My only issues with their rifles have been short stroking the bolt and causing malfunctions when trying to run the rifle quickly. Also it's not advised to use the magazine as a barricade stop as people are having feeding issues when doing so. The high 90 degree bolt throw is a turn off for me as well.

As far as product consistency is concerned, fit and finish on everything i've seen has been what you would expect at it's price point. They all seem to shoot well out of the box (minimal return ratio for "guns that won't shoot).

There's a whole facebook group dedicated to bergara owners that you'll find some issues with blowing primers on earlier models but seems to be resolved.

All in all it's what a Tikka CTR should have been.

(For the record I still would rater a tikka in a KRG bravo chassis)
