Interesting question here,
I initially ordered a steel left handed B14R barreled action. Dealer told me that Bergara had changed the SKUs and there for I was sent a carbon barreled action instead.
Highly accurate, capable of .2s and even .1s with Eley Tenex and Norma Match.
My question is… I knew someone who was rebarreling their B14R and I was able to obtain their factory steel barrel.
I swapped them out and the accuracy with the steel barrel was horrific. Most loads were .8s up to 1.5s, actually struggling to stay under an inch.
The scrolling/writing on the barrel is upside obviously due to being in a left handed receiver, but here in lies my question….
Would the fact that this is a left handed receiver have any bearing on possible headspace with a factory bergara barrel? I know this steel barrel shot exceedingly well previously. Just trying to figure why it did not do so with this receiver.
THANKS !!
