Anyone have one off these new Barreled actions order? Looks tp be the same b14r action with a 20" stainless heavier contoured barrel like a MTU.
Bergara B14r with factory 20" barrel

I’m sure the market is there for someone that doesn’t want to jump into the custom game. I mean you have to add an additional $400-800 on top of the RimX action price for a barrel so it separates it a little. Plus trigger..
I started with a B14R and once you break it in it’s not bad for what it is.

Any clue when they will be available? I can’t seem to find this page.
They are available now. https://aandjsporting.com/bergara-b...m=email&utm_campaign=Bergara Barreled Actions
Any chance they will have a drop in replacement for existing 14r? I have no issues at all with mine EXCEPT for the balance and a 20” truck axle would help that out
So you got one of the 20" stainless barrels/actions? How is the action? Is it any smoother than the ones on the regular carbon/steel barrels?
Are you asking about the barrel itself, or dropping this new barreled action into an existing 14R stock?
Just ordered one. Going to replace one of my 2 existing steel barrel actions in a Mcmillan A4. I'll let y'all know how it does.
The barrel itself....I'm happy with the feel of the action on my b14r and the accuracy but the heavier barrel would help balance out my rig
Ordered today and just got UPS tracking number to my FFL.
I ordered one as well, ordered it yesterday and got my UPS tracker same day as well. Can't wait to see how it shoots!
They have been available in Europe for some time now.
Can't answer for sure, it's my first Bergara.
From what I'd read, the Dremel was ready, but in fact the action is pretty smooth (better than a new CZ, almost as good as a Tikka)
Maybe actions are selected, maybe I was lucky.
I have to ask, the only place I've found these they're $1250.
I can get a rim-x for $1800 with a benchmark or proof.
I do love my 16" Bergara and it's a damn good shooter. But it was also $650 for the barreled action.
I'm going to invest in the rim-x. Because I can easily try different pre-fits. If I have 1 barrel cut by a smith I'm already at the price difference, and I can't sell a used one.

The barrel channel would have to be opened up for these heavy barrels to fit in the factory HMR stocks.
The reg factory barreled action will be 5.4 pounds and the heavy stainless barreled actions 7.5 pounds.
Seller has a Black Friday deal going right now on them through website. You get a bunch of accessories with them at no cost.

Been waiting for mine since October, at this point i am seriously thinking of just buying a regular barrelled action and swapping a barrel for a 24in straight 1.25 if the only difference in the barrel , new barrel actually makes sense as 20 is still a bit on the short side.

Here in Europe things are a bit slower as you practically wait for local distributor, who orders at Bergara 3 times per year then forgets to order or Bergara has none on stock at the time ...................... Long story short Bergara service sucks .
But not to be outdone ordered a couple of 457 Barreled actions and everyone pretends like that product does not exist.
From a couple days ago. Just pulling the gun from the bag and got going. Bench, bipod, and rear bag. That 2nd 10 shot group was pretty dang awesome...the last two shots were the widest part of both ends of that group.
This was today. I was coughing up a lung all morning and heavily congested. Just did 10 on center then did 10 individual shots. The two upper left and right really got away from me. This target is a real bitch to shoot a score in the 90's for me. Shooting SK products.

Got my heavy barreled in Bergara in September and thing surprisingly shoots extremely well ,much better that i would have expected , altough i was preparing to change the barrel will do that to the CZ , no point in change if thing shoots.Please send link for CZ
Don't get me started on CZ457 , even worse dealers do not know how to order a barreled action so i practicaly have to get factory to intervene by going trough a friend that is doing contract work for them.
