Definitely want to see more of this rifle. Great video.

Yes, definitely want to see more of the begara.

Most definitely interested in future videos on this setup.

Awesome quick ammo test. Thank you.

Thank you for reviewing this!! I have a Bergara Competition in 6GT and was on the fence about this barreled action. Time to ditch the b14r and get the heavy!

That gun is a tack driver. That is mighty fine shooting. Great comparison between the different ammo.

Happy to see Bergara adding to their lineup and paying attention to the consumer. Let's face it, most will ditch a factory stock for a replacement immediately, so no big deal with it only comming as a barreled action. Thanks Josh, looking forward to round 2 🫡

finally!!! been waiting for this for so long!!! Thanks Josh, I knew you would come through!!

Enjoyed the cost effective gun test.

Great video! I really enjoyed seeing the Heavy Bergara shoot some groups.

Very nice! 😊 Thanks for sharing Josh 👍

I'm looking forward to the next video

Thanks for the video and your time. I thought that Eley was gonna bring it in, but not today

Definitely think you add it to your stable as this is a good budget option for your viewers to consider. Will be interesting to see how it reacts to simpler upgrades and improvements.

Great video Josh. I have a similar setup with the heavy barrel B-14R and have had accuracy issues. I'm looking forward to your second video on some modifications to help improve its accuracy.

Interesting. looking forward to the next videos! thx, Josh. cheers

I keep wanting one.

Very cool. I didn’t know Bergara introduced this barreled action. I really enjoy my mostly stock b14r. It might be fun to pick this up and throw it in a decent chassis. Thanks - will definitely be interested in seeing more.

I didn't even know these were available until I found one advertised in my local store online. Went down and bought one the next day.

Hah I bought the original version of the B14R. Immediately swapped out the barrel for a 1.25" dia 20" long 1/12 IBI barrel with a Trigger Tech trigger. Love it. Great trainer. Super fun for NRL22 type comps.

I got one from the first batch. I love this b14r heavy. I have it in a foundation stock/Hawkins bottom metal and with a Trigger Tech Diamond. So far, its shoots SK Rifle pretty good. It shoots RWS R50 slightly better. SK Long Range shoot the same as the SK Rifle. Have not tested any Lapua or Eley yet. I'm running a Vortex Strike Eagle 5x25 and I'm using my Carbon barrel B14r's bolt with a Crossroads Precision shroud and spring. I bought the shim kits but have not used it yet. I figured I'd try different ammos first to weed out the bad ones it don't like.

Got one, love it!!!! A&J sporting is the best to deal with

That’s a great shooting rifle with RWS SM great video looking forward to ep 2

I have the same action but installed the TT Diamond trigger which I really like. Mine doesn't like Ely match either.

I just put together one of these, threw it in an aero solus chassis with a triggertech diamond and a Bushnell match pro ED, and bolt shims. I'm currently trying to find ammo that shoots well in it. So far, I've tried SK rifle match, Eley target, Eley club, and CCI green tag. My results pretty much mirror yours. I'll have to try some of the RWS and Lapua when i can get my hands on them. Not really a lot of that stuff available to me locally, so I'll have to hunt some down online. Thanks for the info!

I’ve found that when switching ammo, maybe 10 ‘fouling’ shots of the new ammo before each test group yield a more representative test group. Usually, all decent ammo shoots reasonably well at 50 yards or so, but really show accuracy, or lack of, at 100+ yards.

Good overview

I bought this same barreled action and have basically 1 moa with about all sk ammo i have used. Good Lots of Sk rifle match average about .5 moa at 50 yds. The only complaint i have is how hard the bolt is to close. Please make a series on this!! Especially interested in shims

Timney Hit triggers are very nice...Jard 4oz trigger is nicer yet.

Another great review 👍

That did pretty well and seems like a good setup for just over $1000.

I have a regular steel and carbon fiber b14r the carbon fiber is amazing. I’m really interested in how the upgrades help this barreled action.

I have a plain Bergara B14R steel. It and my 457 Varmint and 10/22 Green Mountain love one Lot of Eley SABRP. All three shoot in the .2s with it. I have a $150 Shilen Competition trigger set at 6 oz. It will go down to 3 oz. 457 Varmint is set at 8oz with a McMaster spring. $7 for a pack of 12. I bought a case of the SABRP. BTW my Bergara head spaces at .043". No need for shims. Bill Calfee says good ignition is more important that head space.

Nice comparison Josh, this proves what i have found that Eley is not the best ammo. At least in some rifles.😊

Like your work. I often wonder what range the shots are ..I miss the info or forget ..id love to see 50m or 100m or yards...near the target. Id also like ot see the aim point an inch under the impact point...so your aim point is never deteriorated. I'm interested in the heavy barrel option. Might be nice if they offered a barreled action without a trigger too. Looking forward to this upcoming series on this rifle... Many thanks..

It would be interesting to see a comparison with Victrix Venus Pro SB

Hey, nice video just found your channel I'll be tuning in. Just worked on a 541 Remington lap the barrel new Trigger Springs glass bed LEUPOLD. Seems to digest SK Long Range pretty well.

I have a lot of extraction issues with mine.I also find it to be very picky. On Thursday I started with Ely bench rest precision. Then I tried the SK long match , it was impacting like “6 low. I would like to a series of videos on this rifle. Maybe let eagle eye work some magic on it.

Welcome Can we have a clip about a rifle anschutz 1761 msr like this one?

THE BEST 22LR TUBER PERIOD...... THNX JOSH... HEY SEEMS LIKE DP IS SALTY WTF.. DONT THINK HE LIKED YOUR SOLUTION TO COLD BORE🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣... MAYBE HE SHOULD TRY THE STRAW AN RELIEVE HIS FRUSTRATION 🤔🤔.... KEEP UR VIDEOS ROLLIN THNX BROTHER 😎😎

That Bergara B-14R went up in price but "that's par for the course" when it get as popular as it did (shoots well). Saving $400 dollars towards your favorite stock sure helps though, way to go Bergara! Even though I think these stocks are way over priced, part of it was Covid and the rest is me getting old and not getting more money myself! You don't seem to have any issue with the magazine like Joe, he was cussing up a storm. (Nothing new for him but...) Joe shot Eley team (plus some cheaper SK I think he has a video if you could find it)and it did well but I think that each barrel is different if I understand correctly how picky these rifles are.

I have B14R in standard steel variant... it likes the GECO 22LR Rifle - 1cm (0.39inch) hole (10 rounds 50m/54yrd) - it happens to be one of the cheapest ammo i found, not sure if GECO sells in US

Like always, How accurate can you afford to shoot?

Great video Josh. How about trying the Ultimatum Deuce which seems popular in Canada, and do you have plans to review the MDT Premier Gen2? I’m torn between it and the Elite as I’m sure are lots of your viewers.

New to rimfire shooting. Is there a particular chassis you would choose for this? Also what are bolt shims?

On top of everything else, day to day environmentals will dictate how good your ammo will shoot!

Is this a good barrel? Its my first .22lr and i orded this one. Still need to wait till july becaus demand is high.

Is the “heavy” receiver different than the standard Bergara barreled action? I’m thinking a Modacam heavy barrel might be a better choice . That Bergara barrel is very fussy .

Looking to get one, a bit nervous about potential reliability issues or getting a dud. Already have a 457 in 17 for varmint hunting, wanted something 700 pattern to fit my center rifle stuff. So either this or more for a rimx. Do the new heavy barreled b14rs seem better with reliability? extraction etc

I have a CZ457mtr and a b14r. Both stock and neither one of them like any of the Ely offerings I have tried?? Where can I find more info on bolt shims. Curious.

I just got my cz457 back from modacam and you talk about a hammer that rifle out shoots any 22 rifle i ever saw it has 23and7/8s muller barrel if you want a barrel that shoots lights out John Elrod is your man he can definitely build you a killer barrel a Hammer indeed. Beagleman

Hey Josh man thank you for this video and great shooting. Oh and where is the straw cmon now you showed us the trick and now you have abandoned it.

Bro did they fix the sticky trigger sear and the super tight head space??

I'll help you decide....keep it Josh...LOL

Went to the site you said that you could get the barrel action from 1100.00

Is the B14R a 40X clone?

Do you feel like this barreled action is worth the extra 400 dollars over the 18.5 inch barreled action? I am just a recreational shooter not competing but I also can't leave things well enough alone and can easily see myself installing a KI prefit or having a gunsmith rebarrel it down the road.

450 bucks more for the heavy barrel Bergara seems a little steep I hope there's more to that price than just the barrel 😢

Would be interested to see if it likes any ammo under $18 a box 🤨

Well the rifle and t shirts looks good.... thats about it lol

🥥🥥 Very good shooting! Yes sir is always like that with rimfire ammo, one has to test everything to really find out that one or two best rounds that the rifle prefers. Is always fun for me and one gets to know the rifle. Great explanation 🫡.

im still waiting on part 2 ruger rprr

Did they fix the extraction issues?

Love the videos you put out...I have a Savage A17 My wife bought me a Discovery opt 6 x 24x 50 30mm tube put it on it and was consistently shooting.2 and .3 inch.groups at a hundred yards..very pleased

Hey beautiful 😍😍 (the rifle, not Josh)

Josh, can you tell me the barrel diameter for the Bergara B14 22lr Heavy? I have ordered one and the chassis I hope to use has a max diameter of 1.25 inches. Thanks

What chassis was that again??

Do you remove any fill from your schemedium heavy?

Be careful Josh KZfaq is watching and looking for your Glock switch mod

How does it balance?

Our scope on our begera an ep5 is weird. It take 2 more up clicks ever 100 yrds. So X+2 X+4 X+6 X+8 Not sure what is going on

What mag does it take?

It’s funny, my burgy loves everything sk, that barrel is disappointing in that respect.

Always like your videos. But as far as this rifle At 50 my stock t1x shoots that well. Nothing special here.

Too bad this heavy version is not sold left handed. I even reach out to A&J Sporting and no response from them neither.

I think my buddies B14R with a carbon barrel shoots better and not as picky with ammo.

Still think the cz is the best bang for your buck and beats out some more expensive rifles as well

That will make the podium in NRL22

Rimfire is the most enjoyable form of self abuse around!

Okay - you spent $1100 for a barreled .22 action, added a chassis ($?) but because the scope is like $350 you somehow think you're "trying to keep it 'budget'"? Not too many of us have that kind of budget.

I can tell by the groups you are shooting this guns chamber is oversized. It does not have a tight match chamber on it. I would bet a live round will slop back and forth in the chamber. Rimfires don't shoot because of the action their on they shoot because of the chamber it has.

Trigger tech! Timney👎🏻
