.308 Bergara B14 HMR: Manufacturer's 10-rnd AICS mag wobble.

I hope this has not been covered elsewhere but I could not locate.

I have a Bergara B14 HMR .308 and two(2) 10-rnd AICS mags branded by/purchased from Bergara directly. They each have a significant amount of play (about 1/2"). When firing with a mostly full mag, they both drop out from the rifle. They have behaved this way since day 1. The 5-rnd from Bergara has zero play and no issues. Top half of 5 and 10-rnd mags also appear identical.

To anyone with this rifle - have you experienced a similar issue? I would like to purchase a different magazines - preferably PMAGS or other polymer - but another post described the Bergara's as a rebranded PMAG (although visually it does not appear to be the case. If I will have the same issue with a new magazine (Bergara or other) I'd rather not spend the money.

Let me know - thanks!

New here. New build.

Hello all,

I’m new to both hunting and the precision world but i have been shooting for most of my adult life. I discovered this forum while exploring my first bolt rifle build for hunting, and since then, I’ve decided to finally dive into precision shooting. That being said, I’m hoping to find that magical middle ground where a rifle suits both the competition and hunting worlds.

My goals right now are a lighter-weight but tough rifle that can withstand slips and falls in steep, muddy, and rocky terrain. It should have enough energy for mid-to-long-range large game (elk, deer, bear, antelope, sheep)

After reading several interesting threads on running multiple calibers with just a bolt and barrel change using specialty mags or spacers, I think this is an option I’d like to keep open. There are several calibers I’m interested in—mainly .308 Win, 7 PRC, 300 PRC, and .338 Lapua—and having the ability to add them later by simply swapping a barrel, bolt, and spacer (or custom mag) would be ideal.

Initially, I think this will be my 7 PRC build:

Foundation Revelation or Foundation Hunt

LPA Fuzion LA

Hawkins M5 detachable BM

Proof 22" carbon prefit

TriggerTech 2-stage

TBA Magnus-K-RR

ZCO or Razor HD Gen III


I haven’t bought anything yet, as I’m currently selling a couple of other guns to fund this build. I’m also still working through compatibility checks, hoping that most of these parts play nicely together. Comments or suggestions are appreciated!

Right now, I’m trying to confirm whether the Hawkins M5 Detachable works with the LPA Fuzion LA. Most sources suggest they’re compatible, but on LPA’s site, they mention that the Fuzion only comes cut for the Hawkins BDL or Hunter. My knowledge here is lacking, so any insight would be helpful.

I’d love to hear from anyone with side-by-side experience running heavier calibers in these two stocks (Foundation Revelation vs. Foundation Hunt).

I’m not aiming for an "ultra-light" build—I want to be able to run 7 PRC comfortably all day at a match while still being able to hunt and carry it around the mountains without needing a wagon. I’m assuming the final weight will land somewhere in the 12–14 lb range.

I’ll keep this updated as I go!

Reloading supplies Cost increases

Good day all. Been gone a minute , I got a bad habit of dying or trying to.
Ive been reading up a lot and trying to get up to speed. After finishing the 338 lapua build last year I decided to drop dead in the yard and go for number 6 heart attack and trip 2 over the dark divide. Just cant seem to get it right.
My question today is about Powder pill and brass costs.
is too late for me to take a drive an snatch up some power brass etc ?
Im only slack on supplies for the 338 lapua 60 rnds and 30.06 120 rnds.
My main concern is powder. Im not sure we make or have all of the components to manufacture it here in the states.
Educate me please,
and thanks all of you.
hoping this isnt a reduntant post

Why not SOTU?

So, Pres. Trump is to address a joint session of Congress tomorrow evening. Everyone will be there and he will "tell it like it is." Afterwards, there will be a democratic response.

This smells an awful lot to me like a State of the Union address (SOTU). I'm curious then as to why they aren't referring to it as such in the media (Newsmax doesn't for sure).

What gives? Something I'm not aware of?
