Bergara b-14r pic thread

Try the L3i double m-lok brass weights or put it in a Gen 2 ACC .
If the chassis needs a new home I’ll buy it off you. Was about to order one from tactical surplus for 1240, but that blue is slick.
I'll likely have my smith fit a 22" benchmark. It's not far off, balance is at the magazine, just needs to move forward about 2".
The blue is definitely eye catching. Worst case I'd stuff one of my center-fire rigs in there since it's in a bravo with 4.5lbs of lead in the stock for balance.
I did a "composite" group of 19 rounds aligned on POI center for each group (20 minus a "flyer" that was significantly outside the rest. I know some people won't agree with that and they're probably not wrong, but it is what I did.) The groups were not all in that part of the targets, since I shot at 100yds and changed zero between a couple of them. I'll do better "science" when I'm back home and not working on the road.
So far I'm really digging this stick. Much MUCH more than my CZ455 Tacticool, which was just endlessly frustrating to shoot.
Best group with standard +
Worst, which I must have done something wrong to cause (I'm an extremely novice rifle shooter, I'm still figuring out the basics of the fundamentals)
I also shot five rounds at five separate targets then overlayed each entire target to form a composite 5 shot. Fully getting off the gun between each shot.

26" Lilja 4 groove tightbore barrel - MTU straight taper - 22 Nevius chamber
PTG single pin .250 recoil lug

Gray Ops CNC front external weights

The barrel was coutoured at Lilja and the smithing was done by Rick Barton at Scheels in Des Moines Iowa. Rick set it up to Kevin Nevius's specs.
My best targets to date are a 250 18X and 250 20X shot the same day. Looking for a 21X now.

Added this B14R to my collection today. Swapped trigger out for a Trigger Tech Diamond, added MDT 30 moa mount, Nightforce 12-42 scope, Harrell tuner & Harris bipod. Sight in & ammo testing starting tomorrow.
Sure it’s a stock heavy in a manner stock. I just switched the cheek piece to a macarta cheek rest, one of the past matches had an offhand strange and the lightweight cheek piece didn’t work very well. Bushnell match pro in badger rings. I’m cheap so I just run Eley contact because it’s ’good Enough’ for me but it really loves Eley match with the proper lot.
Thanks for your interest!

NRL22 lurker, first post, here's my Bergara B-14R Steel in an MDT ACC Elite. With 3 sets of MDT external weights, and 4 internal weights towards the muzzle, it balances 3" in front of the magwell.
50 yard 8 shot group after getting new scope on paper. 3 consecutive 10 shot 100 yard groups. SK LR
New DNT 7-35 is impressive

Went to the MPA and back to OEM. I was annoyed by the weight of the MPA. Lugging it around at matches and moving with it was more a deterrent and didn’t make me shoot any better. It would have been fine for NRL bench shooting a suppose. Anyway, I move faster and shoot better with the OEM. Just it being lighter but still has good weight.
Newest Bergara addition. 20" ss heavy barreled action in MDT XRS chassis. DiscoveryOPT 5-25x56 scope on 30 MOA rail, trigger swapped out for a Jewel 1.5oz. Just started break in & ammo testing. Waiting for parts to install ARCA rail & bipod. This thing is fun to shoot.
