I am currently the proud owner of a gen 2 RPR and buying a new 6.5 creedmoor this weekend. I am really thinking about the Bergara HMR or the Tikka T3x CTR. Right now I think that both are great rifles, from what I can tell, and both would serve the dual role they will be filling. But I do have some concerns.
For the Bergara, from what I have heard, they are patterned after the Rem 700 so I should be able to get replacement barrels, chassis and the like pretty easy. Has anyone confirmed this? Also is it possible to put a barrel nut type system on so I can do my own barrel changes?
For the Tikka the only negative I can come up with is those damn Mags until I put it in a new stock/chassis.
Opinions please
