[QUOTE="Rifleman97, post: 2846222, member: 103996"] Pretty much. I also don’t like how much slop they seem to have. When you pull the bolt all the way back, the ones I’ve used have a significant amount of play in the bolt. Once the bolt is closed it seems nice and tight, so clearly it doesn’t matter too much, but it just screams “cheap” to me. Like $0.99 doorknobs, they work fine but the moment you touch them you can tell they were made for pennies on the dollar. My browning made Winchester 70 is in the same price range as the b14 but feels significantly better in the hands. Again it’s just a preference, but the Bergaras just feel very cheap in the hands to me compared to others in the same price range. Even the savage axis feels better than the few Bergaras I’ve handled, maybe some are better than others though. But if that’s the case that means they have some serious quality variance. [/QUOTE]
