Bergara threads – what’s on yours?

Do you have a B14? What’s the thread on it? Know of any other rifles that have different threads depending on where they are market ed to?

Both the rifles we are looking at today could be called ‘crossover’ rifles – but really, it turns out live at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Bergara B14 HMR – First Thoughts

Been keen to have a play with the Bergara B14 HMR for a while. Sorting a clients rifle gave me the opportunity to check out this offering of a ‘crossover’ rifle. Just another Remington 700 clone? Or something more?

I have seen a little misinformation on this one – so here it is. No. You don’t need to pull a Tikka TAC A1 apart to adjust the trigger.

Replacing the Tikka Bolt Handle

Changing a Tikka Bolt handle is really for aesthetics. Especially on something like the Tikka TAC A1 – which already has an ‘oversized’ tactical style bolt knob on it – it’s certainly not something that is going to improve your grouping. However, we like to tinker, and, it’s a great excuse to pull the bolt apart and clean it.
