[QUOTE="FieldTrainingOfficer, post: 1266315, member: 36678"] Hey Guys. I'm a beginner with this site but I wanted to share my initial observations on the B-14 Hunter. I just picked up the rifle today and it appears to be well made. The stock seems more substantial than the current T3 synthetics and the fit is very good. I adjusted the trigger to around 2.5lbs while I had the action out to run some Patch Out through it. I gave it a good cleaning and man, they pack some grease in these things! Now that it's clean I'll begin the barrel break-in. The manual actually does recommend a break in which is rare in an owners manual. This is solid advice and I would attribute the recommendation to the fact that Bergara has had a long history as an upper level barrel manufacturer. There were no scary surprises when I went through the gun while I had the stock off and I'm pretty meticulous. I'll mount my older VX-III 6.5-20x50mm target optic while I break it in and I'll keep it on while I check out what the rifle can do. I'll put that optic back on my 220 Swift and by then I should have the new Tract Optics Toric 3-15x50mm in my hands. I really wanted a solid SC Whitetail rifle that can perform well in the 100-500 yard range and I'm not dropping custom money on this one. If the Bergara and Tract do what I think they'll do, I may have a T3 killer on my hands. FYI, I piked up the Bergara for $599.99 and the Tract retails for $724. [/QUOTE]
