Took my 14R to 200 yards yesterday. What a blast smacking a 4" plate almost at will.

I agree these things are a blast.
Got my cheek riser on & finished my experimental dampener (jury's still out on the dampener). Only shot to 100 yesterday cause the wind was terrible. I doubt I could have hit much a 200. Also tried a 6x5. That was humbling. Managed max CTC .505 or .964 moa @50 yards avg for the 6 x 5
The only Ammo I've tried so far is SK match. Anyone have an opinion on what these B14's like best?
I'm sure I'd have been happy with a complete B14R, but I love to tinker & I love how this build came out.
If I did my job well, then it looks simple. I've always thought anything well engineered looks subtle when finished.
Lot more going on then what jumps out with this though.

Good info. ThanksI've tried GM Target, Norma TAC-22, Eley Club, and CCI SV HP. Preliminarily it seems to really like Norma TAC-22
I am waiting for my Bregara to arrive and have been ordering stuff, can you tell me how far past the stock your Arca rail is ? I see you got the 14” and wondering if the 12” doesn’t extend past the end or if I would have to go down to the 10”Here is mine with the 14" rail. It has been posted a lot. Works very well.

The 12" extends just a Tick past the end of the stock. The 14" is just over 2" past the end. There is no problem with it extending past. I liked the built in barricade stop on the 14" was the primary reason I purchased it.I am waiting for my Bregara to arrive and have been ordering stuff, can you tell me how far past the stock your Arca rail is ?

These B14's seem to be inconsistent with regards to ejection. Some have no issues & others pretty bad. Mine left about 10 spent cases in the action out of 100 on Sunday. I'm going to try and figure out a solution.Thanks for all the good info, and love seeing all the different setups. Yes, we need a sticky for the B14r
Picked mine up yesterday...got it mostly setup today, and was able to send about 40 rounds before dark. Just some CCI SV. Shot very well considering the ammo and new barrel, however had trouble with extraction. It pulled every empty out of the chamber fine, but then refused to let go of them. The extractors just held on tight and wouldn't let go or throw them. Out of 40, it probably let go of 5 correctly. I tried both working the action smoothly as well as running it pretty hard. Action is smooth and seems to lock down on the round great, no problems with too tight or hard to close. Any ideas on what I could try for extraction? Pain to have to fumble with them and pull them manually.

There may be some play as it is pinned into the action but every case should hit it and not be able to ride over it. I believe that is your issue.Hey thanks for the question...so I was trying to get shots off before dark and really hadn't studied that, but after you asked, I just went and cycled some empties thru it. About half of them ejected this time, and those half definitely hit the ejector. The other half seemed to ride over it...? I messed around with the ejector and there is some play there. Should there be play in that piece? I just checked my 457 and it has no play. Very rigid. Again, thanks for your response.
They did ship out updated cocking pc/striker assemblies to people that had the 1st version.I thought I had seen where they shipped people a new firing pin assembly. I may be mistaken or not know the context.
I messaged them through their website late last night. I was impressed in that I received a response this morning. You all were correct in that they created a ticket and ship label and want me to send it in. At lunch I was able to put 10 rds thru it, and it definitely seems to be that play in the ejector. If I have the mag out, and hold my thumb up tight to that slot, that the ejector sits in, every one of them popped out of the extractors. Very small amount of play, however it seems to be the difference. Now I'm debating whether to send it or not. I feel like for a 1k rifle I want it right and shouldn't need to try to correct it myself, but I hate to have it gone for a month or two. The other thing of note, it seems to be a good shooter. Even in my messing around and being hurried today, it shot a tight group at 50. With the extraction issue fixed, I would like the rifle...They did ship out updated cocking pc/striker assemblies to people that had the 1st version.
Old one had a 17 coil spring & new one has 14 coils.
I guess they figure the striker assembly is user serviceable since they have a video out on disassembly + it's a maintenance item.
Nice have a 12” on order, how do you like your Mack Bros magazine?I put a 10” Area 419 rail on mine - like it so far. The swivel conversion for the Harris bipod was a snap.

Considering how popular they are, it defies logic that it's not a sticky yet.Is this a sticky yet???
Hehe
Whatever Bergara did is working great on mine.What weight is everyone torquing their action screws to?
What distance where those shot at?Love mine it has been 100% reliable

Very nice.. I had some similar with Auto Match but it wasn't consistent.50 yards. Fed auto match and Geco Match.
