I believe they built the action off of rem 700 blue...

    Bergara HMR Bolt Handle Broke Off Twice.....

    That stock you recommended looks pretty good for the price, thanks. Also noticed the tikka t3x bolt handle goes into a dovetail on the bolt which seems like a more durable design vs the 700s and the B-14 Bolts.

    Bergara B14 HMR vs Tikka T3 CTR

    Hi, I'm looking to get my first 308 bolt action. I want to get the Bergara B14 HMR but I've been doing a bit of research and it seems like the Tikka T3 is the way to go just because it's such a proven rifle and has a track record that the Bergara doesn't? So far, I've seen nothing but good...
