Bergara B14r

[jeremydc]

Hey everyone,
I was looking into buying a new gun as an “upgrade” or impulse to buy a new one. Anyways I know someone selling me a Bergara B14r for $650. Practically new. Thought I was just getting the action but it’s the whole rifle. I believe it’s the steel barrel.

What do you guys think and would you suggest the carbon or steel?

Buying this bergara to replace my CZ457 AT-ONE for about $600 too so it’s a gun swap basically.

Go for steel, and for $650 you can buy a new one if you want.

I love my Bergara. I have the steel. Shoots great. I have seen a few complaints about the carbon being a sleeve but have no real experience so I can’t say.

I have the steel barreled version and love it! Unbelievable with SK long range match. You won’t be disappointed.

Mine loves the SK long range too. I bought a barreled action. Put it in a Bravo stock with a Triggertech trigger it shoots great. I had some feeding problems at first but KRG sent me instructions on how to adjust the fore arm and trigger guard and it’s now great. I have a Vudoo in a X-Ray stock and I m happy with both. I have the Bergara set up for NRL22 and the Vudoo for ELR but I have shot the Bergara out to 400 yards with no complaints. Just have a better scope on the Vudoo.

Find the UPC code for the rifle or barreled action you want and do a net search with just the code. You can usually find someone with it in stock

Get the steel. $650 is a great price.

Echoing what others have said. Get the steel barrel. Mine also loves SK Long Range. A tuner works wonders on it.

I doubt you can find a B14r for 650 new. That for a used one is a very good price. I got mine from A&8 here on the hide. Great guy and he has about the best price you can find on these. I just got the barreled action and mine is carbon fiber. Accuracy is the same between them but if you want to use it comp then I suggest a steel barrel. Mine is in a lightweight chassis and I like it that way. Easy to carry and shoot around in the woods. I also have a 20 lbs RimX that I use for target shooting and positional shooting.

Check out A&8's, he sells them in the Buy, Sell Forum. Got my steel BA from him. Sorry I didn't realize you wanted a complete rifle, thought you were talking about a BA

Picked one up at a gun shop the other day. Thing was pretty impressive.

Buy the one available. Put a real trigger in it. Go shoot it a bunch. If you think you can make it shoot better with a carbon barrel, go for it. Might as well put it in a stock and fuck around with the new feeding issues. Come back here and tell us your woes. Get fed up with it all. Come back here and tell us all of your woes and tell us you want at least $1200 for it delivered to the FFL of our choice.

The price is cheap unless theirs something wrong with it....

Barrel type doesn't matter. You want lightweight.....go carbon. You want some weight....go steel.
