[QUOTE="jb1023, post: 1994422, member: 91995"] I'm contemplating a 300 PRC and kind of looking at these two. I have a Howa 1500 SA so I know how it feels, solid but not Tikka smooth, but I've never handled a Bergara. I'm curious if one is "smoother" than the other? The Bergara HMR Wilderness and the Howa TSPX both look like quality entry level rifles, similar category to the RPR. Both use AICS mags, which is one question I have but that is for another thread. Another option is to use a Howa barreled action and put it in a MDT chassis or similar. I don't see where I could buy a Bergara barreled action so to go that route would add $4-500 over the Howa. I figure a full custom metal option will be a minimum of $1k over the Howa barreled action route. Guess my primary question is, how does the Bergara B-14 action compare to the Howa 1500 action? If an RPR is head and shoulders above both then I guess I would like to hear that too. But leaning on these two as the RPR is about $500 more. [/QUOTE]
