My Tenacity barreled action drop in Bergara HMR Stock?

[Kms33kms]

I recently purchased a defiance tenacity action MA (rem700 sa) and my criterion Remage Barrel arrives Wednesday. In a couple weeks I will be getting my new trigger for her. I already have a bergara Premier HMR PRO rifle chambered in 6.5 prc. I just wanted to place my new custom barreled action into my bergara hmr stock (rem 700 footprint) , will it drop in without modification? With barrel nut? Will the bottom metal also work with my 6.5 cm magazines when it currently uses the 300 WSM/6.5prc magazines? Yes I will be getting my tenacity barreled action it’s own stock and it’s own scope , but it’ll be a couple months down the road and I was wanting to just test out my new barreled action before then is why I’m asking. Thanks in advance fellas

Yes to all of that

Hey another question. My bergara barrel
Contour is kind of thin. It’s like a mix between hunting and match rifle , my criterion barrel
I ordered is the MTU contour. What’s the chances it will fit in the stock and still remain free floated?

Very little. Some stock work in the barrel channel will be in you future.

Mtu is a fatty, you’ll have to sand the barrel channel out to clear but it’s easy. (Provided its wide enough to support it in the first place, I can’t say first hand)

Wrap some coarse sand paper around a dowel and go to town. I lay the barreled action in/on the stock so it’s centered up and tape the jaws of some cheap calipers so as to not scratch the metal and just drag them along the barrel using the points on the caliper jaws to scribe a line on the stock that I need to sand out to.

I’ve ran one on a bighorn origin. Had to open up the bolt and barrel channel. Easy enough with files, sandpaper and socket just take it slow.

Ran it with a crown ridge barrel nut also. I’ll dig out some pics.

That looks great. Hard to be that stock , especially at its price and that it has a mini chassis

Thanks. I like the fact I can run 3 rd MDT flush mags for hunting.

Did the MTU contour fit in the stock?

 

[Kms33kms]

Never tried it cause everybody said I’d have to open up the barrel channel
A little bit and still wanted to use that stock for my bergara. Just waiting on Krg bravo

You'll be happy with it! Good luck.

I opened one up for a M24 barrel….wasn’t bad but slow going with a few sockets and sandpaper. It was at the max for barrel channel though. Even dig into the aluminum chassis just a little.

Only pic I have of that barrel….
