What all do you have going on there?
How tall are you? I'm trying to decide if I need to remove some of the spacers. Never had this level of adjustment before.
It comes with everything minus stock.Does the barreled action come complete with the bolt? Photos and description from many major retailers do not specify nor is it pictured.
Well I get her back and all put together last night.

Mine is still waiting on a Vortex Strike Eagle from Liberty Optics bought on Black Friday. I believe there is a back order on those so I will continue to patiently wait but I would love to see a sticky thread on the Bergara B-14R.
Got the B14R carbon and the parts I ordered to complete the build are showing up. Can’t wait to try this out. Getting assorted 22LR Ammo brands to try.
A Bergara B14R sticky would be very nice. There are still a lot to learn about this rifle.
I'm also considering the Strike Eagle for my B-14R. I should get my barreled action out of "jail" today or tomorrow. Its at the LGS waiting on the Background check to clear. They said its been taking 2-3 days to come back. Anyway, I'd love to to hear a range report and first impressions on how well the strike eagle works with the B-14. I'm also considering the PST gen II as well.
What model SE are you getting?
A local cerakote shop did it for me.Did you paint the stock yourself? If so, what did you use?
What benefits does the bipod forward mount provide?
Nice setup!!!, who sells the comb pad you have on there?Well I get her back and all put together last night.

Thank you!!Nice setup!!!, who sells the comb pad you have on there?
Mine does that in my KRG X-Ray chassis, i just noticed the last time i shot that it only happens when I run the bolt fast, if I do it slow and consistent it runs fine, may be different for yours but thats what seems to work for me. Congrats on the new buildGot mine out for the first time today. It's a shooter.

This ^ was cheapo Federal Champion value pack @50 yds
View attachment 7529034
This ^^ was Federal Gold Medal @50yds
It also seems to shoot well with Aguila 40gr Super Extra Standard as well.
A small package just arrived while I was at the range this am with some Eley Tenex and some Polar Biathlon to try. I've got Center-X and some SK showing up early next week.
I'm pretty happy with the B-14 so far with the only issue is reliable feeding out of the mag. The mag doesn't fit tight in the mag well of the McMillian stock and gravity pulls is down just enough that the round it hanging on the feed ramp as I run the bolt forward. If I push up on the mag from below, it solves the problem. But as soon as I let go, the next round jams on the ramp. Hopefully, it's just needs getting worn in. Anyone experience this issue?
What height rings did you order? I will be getting my rifle next week.I ordered A b-14R yesterday from grabagun , found a strike eagle with the EBR -7c reticle in stock at Brownells picked up some vortex precision rings and an EGW 20 moa base . I also ordered 2 spare magazines from Bergara yesterday . now the checking my e-mail for shipping up dates start .
Let`s not give up. Squeeky wheel gets the grease. My B14-R is complete.Yeah, I asked the same thing about a sticky on December 26, 2020......crickets, just fuckin, crickets.
1.1 medium .What height rings did you order? I will be getting my rifle next week.
That's a great idea. I'll pull it today and see if there is some way to adjust it. Thanks!I have a similar mag fit issue with my KRG Bravo. The mag just has enough play in it to cause the feeding issues. I recently found a link to fixing the problem by removing the barreled action and adjusting the screw behind the mag well. Hopefully there is a fix with that McMillan.
I run a Nightforce SHV 5-20x56, have an ATACR on my creedmoor so i like matching the reticle for my “trainer”What make/model glass are you guys running on your .22 sticks? I'm trying to decide on what to use as a permanent solution for NRL22 comps as well as PRS "training". The Schmitty that's on the gun now is obviously huge overkill. And it's already dedicated to a new PRS gas gun I'm building as soon as the upper receiver finally arrives from JP.
I'm thinking about a Vortex PST Gen II 5-25x for the Bergara. I had a Gen I PST many years ago and sold it after 6 months because the optical quality was very meh. But given I'm not going to use it ever much beyond 3-500 yds, I don't see the need for a super high end glass. I'm interested in what you guys are running on yours.
I am running the Burris RT25 5-25/56. I first had the RT15 3-15/50 on it. It was ok, but when I went out beyond 200 it was hard to judge smaller 3” targets. I was able to make hits out to 300 with the 3-15.What make/model glass are you guys running on your .22 sticks?

What's your impression of the PST Gen II? I had a Gen I PST 6-24 many years ago, but sold it not long after I got it as the glass quality was very average. I've heard the Gen II's are much better, but interested your opinion of it for the 22NRL game. TIA.I think you'll find that on the 22 competition level, you'll need every advantage you can get. Basically the same demands as your centerfire optic.
I'm running a Cronos BTR gen 2 on mine and bought a PST gen 2 for my son.
Its really a great scope. Great glass, turrets, reticle, and zero stop. Much improved from the gen 1 so don't think you'll be getting that scope with the new gen. Lots of people love them and I understand why. I just took mine out to 200 yards right out of the box with my Bergara and R50 and had no trouble hitting small steel. Tracks spot on.What's your impression of the PST Gen II? I had a Gen I PST 6-24 many years ago, but sold it not long after I got it as the glass quality was very average.

I have not been able to find anything other than SK. I picked a couple of boxes of Eley and Lapua off of other shooters to try and have not been able to yet. SK Rifle Match and Standard shoot to go to try and hunt anything else down to spend more money on.Any of you guys shot Norma Match out of these yet?

I've had decent luck just searching around all the ammo sources in the "Where to get ammo" thread. I've found Center-X and got 1000 rnds on backorder that should ship out by the end of the month. I also just got a delivery this week of 500 rnds of Wolf Match and 2 boxes each of Eley Tenex and Polar Biathlon to try out. So far, my Bergara really likes the Polar Bi with Tenex being a close 2nd. It did not shoot the wolf match well, so this may end up just being plinking ammo. Or maybe I'll sell the other 450 to someone who needs it instead.I have not been able to find anything other than SK.

Thanks! To fix the mag sitting too low, , I just added a couple of strips of clear tape over the little lip on the back of the mag where it engages the mag release catch to add some thickness and it now works flawlessly. It's kinda ghetto, but it works great now.![]()
Bergara B-14 R
Thinking about a Bergara B-14 R, .22lr. Wanting to put barreled action in a KRG Bravo stock. I emailed KRG regarding fitment into the 700 short action Bravo stock. The reply indicated it would fit perfectly but they were not sure if the mags would install and remove correctly. Does anyone...www.snipershide.com
At what range distance did you use?Here's a late range report. My shooting partner and I got out to do a quick test this am with the new B-14R and various ammo. Overall impression are I really like the rifle. It shoots well when I do my part. I just swapped the trigger out for a jewel set to about 7-8oz, so hoping that tightens up these groups a bit. The stock trigger is not bad. But I like a bit lighter pull.

As you would expect, Lapua polar Biathlon and Eley Tenex shoots lights out. Wolf Match did not, which was disappointing. On the cheap ammo side - the Federal Champion value pack and Aguila Standard velocity also shot better than expected. My brick of Center-X hasn't arrived yet, so hoping that also shoots well. All were 5-shot groups except for the Aguila Std at bottom left.
