Bergara B14 HMR AICS Lightweight Stock Option

[sanddanw]

I have a Bergara HMR Pro 6.5 PRC SA with a #6 26" barrel and a 4 lb factory stock with AICS mags. I am hoping to find a way to swap out to a sub 2lb stock for hunting in the mtns. I am curious if I can easily without mods use a Remington 700 BDL style stock for heavy barrels or is this conversion not easily done?

GrayBoe Stocks have always done good and have lighter options. Even Foundation Revelation.

If you are good with a chassis check out the XLR Element Magnesium. It is 2lb 10oz with a TR2 Tactical buttstock. It is AICS ready and I have never seen a need to bed one of their chassis out of the 6 I have.

Ag composite or stocky stocks carbon fiber?! Both come in at or just under 2lb and can be had with bdl inlet

I’m new to this but if it has Bdl inlet I can use my action that has aics mags?

I'm pretty sure the bergaras is proprietary. I had a ridge that I put into a hs precision stock off a r700LR and I couldn't use the bergaras bdl bottom metal. I had to use the bottom metal from the 700. You could probably find a used 700bdl bottom metal super cheap.

The ag could be order in any inlet. The stocky stocks only comes in a 700bdl inlet or a badger m5 inlet.

You would buy a stock with bottom metal. M5 is typically the most common. Some MFG like Grawboe list a Bergara option and I believe Foundation can mill out to the Bergara specks.

You will be better off in the long game to buy a M5 bottom metal incase you decide to sell the stock and go to something else. a Rem 700 SA footprint w/ M5 inlet will sell easier than one for Bergara specifically.

The Grayboe Trekker with M5 bottom metal will be right at your 2 pound limit. The "universal" cut for Remington 700 and clones will work great on Bergaras. They're running a sale right now with "free" M5 bottom metal on select SKUs, there's a few different colors listed right now.

I have a Phoenix on a Bergara right now, and would generally pick that stock over the Trekker for ergonomics, but it's over your weight limit by half a pound.

Or I could use the money for a lightweight stock and pay for a trainer and loose 30 lbs instead of 2 lbs on my gun lol
