Bergara B14R with ARCA Rail on Factory Stock

[MarkCZ]

Any Pics of Bergara B14 R with a ARCA Rail on factory stock. Also how did you install it?

Area 419 14” ARCA Kit. Follow the instructions. Hundreds of people on here and other groups have installed them. Attached is a front action screw that needs 2 or 3 threads ground off of instead of a BUNCH!!! I know as I screwed up the one in the kit.

^^^ I used the same rail, easy peasy.

Is it at all noticeably detrimental that the ARCA rail is not parallel to the axis of the bore?

I have been considering mounting that same universal 14" rail with the barricade stop on one of my rifles, but wasn't sure how critical it is to have the rail inline with the bore. I was thinking I could use progressively larger spacers towards the muzzle, to make the rail parallel even though the forearm tapers... but I think it may not be necessary, and has high potential to look stupid once complete. Form follows function, I know, but life is too short to have ugly $#!+...

In what ways does the factory stock have to be changed or modified to accept the area 419 arca rail? Does it fit over the bipod and sling stud up front or do they have to be removed?

I used the Area 419 Arca Lok rail. Works great.

Manners stocks aren't parallel

It doesn't matter if there's a slight angle

Sling studs remove and get replaced with screws that come in the Kit.

Thank you for the info.

Looks good! Whats the consensus after shooting? Better on the bags? Stiffer forend?

I got one of THESE and really like it for barricades. Can be positioned towards muzzle or back by mag well, and used in conjunction with bipod. it's pretty versatile you can create your combo.

I think this case function = form. I can immediately see a problem in using a leveling base whereby your attachment angle is already pointed downwards so you have to can't the base up a little to get the gun level, which will therefore erase the last 10 degrees or so off your vertical range. With a ball head not as big of a deal.

most of them are parallel or nearly pararell. But the HMR stock specifically has a pretty aggressive taper
