    Bergara has a new rimfire.

    Wasn't aware that Scheels did any dickering. Closest one to me is about an hour away, and parking is a PITA this time of year (Christmas). In any case, I feel your pain with regard to wanting to try it out. Weather is biatch. Do let us know your results.

    Bergara has a new rimfire.

    I stand corrected. Went back to the LCG today to have another look at the B14 Rimfire. Price on the steel barreled version of the Bergara Rimfire was $929. I had previously been quoted a price closer to MSRP. Apparently the LGS hadn't been invoiced when I had my first look. Tempted . . . ...

    $1129 for the one I had my hands on. CF version supposed to be ~$100 more.

    Bergara has a new rimfire.

    If only money grew on trees . . . I'd be rich with 28 maples in my yard! As for what's new at SHOT, who knows. You can be pretty sure that it'll be 6 months or more before anything at SHOT hits dealer shelves.

    Bergara has a new rimfire.

    FWIW, I had my hands on the Bergara B14 Rimfire today at the local gun emporium. Blued, steel barreled version. Best I can tell it is NOT a controlled round feed. I probably would have bought it, but someone else already had their name on it.

    Not a magnum per se. 6.5PRC on an Origin LA mag. And to clarify, if I ejected the fired round slowly, it would 'hang' on the 'extra' material of the stock (true Rem 700 inlet). If I ejected the fired round rapidly, it ejected fine. I took the time and put the stock in my vertical mill and...

    My Bighorn Origin LA would not eject properly until I opened up the ejection port . . . .

    Be aware that if you use a stock inletted for the Rem 700 with a Bighorn action, you'll need to lengthen the inlet for the ejection port. Not soing so, does hinder ejection (DAMHIKT). You may or may not need to inlet the left side of the stock to accommodate the side-bolt release.

    Meant to say "doesn't look like".

    Thanks. Given that info does look like I can take a TL3/SR3 SA pre-fit and put it on an Origin LA.

    Not to hi-jack, but by chance will the Origin SA pre-fits work (i.e. headspace correctly) on the Origin LA? IIRC the TL3/SR3 use different tenon lengths on the SA and LA. Not sure about the Origin. Haven't been able to get my hands on drawing.

    I have a 300PRC spun up on a Rem 700 UltraMag action with CIP length M5 DBM. Feeds flawlessly. For grins and giggles I put the CIP DBM in the 6.5PRC and tried some 300PRC rounds just to see how they'd come out of the magazine and the 'non-UltraMag' receiver. No issues what-so-ever. I...

    I have the Origin LA Mag. Built a 6.5PRC off of it. I wanted the longer action length so as not to be hampered by COAL down the road - if needed, and given previous experience with the 6.5-284. That said, if I had to do it all over again (6.5PRC), I'd go SA with a Wyatt's cut. I'd also opt...

    Gunsmithing 300 PRC - Is the Ultra Mag Action Preferred?

    My 300PRC is built on a Rem 700 LA Ultra Mag. Just be sure to use the windowed Ultra Mag magazine and LA Magnum follower. No issues with feeding from either the hinged floor-plate setup or M5 DBM (my M5 DBM is CIP length). My 6.5PRC is built on a Bighorn Origin LA mag - yes LA. I went LA to...

    Bergara has a new rimfire.

    Haters gonna hate, no matter . . . . but then again, Nomad's a commercial supporter, which IMHO leads me to believe that he has a financial stake somewhere when it comes to Vudoo. I could be wrong, just putting 2+2 together (note- the answer is not 22).

    Pretty sure that if the potential for patent infringement existed, Bergara would have had their legal team research it and make sure they were in the clear before going forward.

    Bergara has a new rimfire.

    So did I !! Been biting my tongue waiting for the official release. Can't wait for them to hit the street so I can have one of my own. And if down the road they offer a CF barreled version, I'll probably grab one of those too! As ZW.. posted, not much of an ammo selection at the time - some...

    Been biting my tongue and not saying anything since I had the chance to shoot the proto-type in late April at K&M. Glad to see that it's been officially announced. Supposedly, they will begin shipping to dealers in Dec. I'm not gonna hold my breathe, but I'll certain pick one up when the do...
