[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2809199, member: 113623"] I had a B14 Wilderness Ridge in 7RM. Too long of a shot string or something with factory ammo and the action locked up like a bank vault. Saw a video where someone was using an early CA in 300WM and it was doing the exact same thing. I was having to slap the bolt handle up to get it unlock every time, and believe me it did not want to come. Not sure if this is a problem with R700 pattern actions, rough chambers, some kind of heat expansion, belted magnums, or what but that was the last factory action I ever bought. I have shot much longer shot strings with an M70 and my custom rifles and never had the same issue. I was always and advocate for Bergara, until I owned one. [/QUOTE]
