Re-stocking Bergara B14 Crest 6.5cr

[Poh]

I love this rifle, but the stock is too low and the raiser moves, so looking to put a new, adjustable, stock on it. I don’t want to spend a fortune, but also don’t want a plastic, flexible piece of crap. Anyone have any recommendations?

Not for everyone , GRS Bifrost , Laminate or Form . Make sure you get the correct inlet as the bottom metals vary with model .

Dead money. Sell the rifle and buy soemthing better

Doesn’t this use a Remington 700 footprint? If so more options than you can shake a stick at. I have an MDT XRS for sale in the classifieds as an option.

The action uses the R700 footprint , it's the bottom metal that causes the issues. Unless , you drop it in a chassis then the bottom metal is a none issue .

Hi Poh is yours a carbon crest?

I have 2x b14 thumbholes and them to be great. There is a bit of flex in the forend but grip and cheek weld are perfect for repeatable sight picture

I’ve seen a few HMR stocks on here that guys have take off new rifles. They are a great stock too. very stiff but 300grams heavier than my own

I had a Grs fenris on my last hunting rifle and don’t rate the tool-less adjustment unless your letting someone else shoot your gun I would go for something that is set an forget with grub screws/locking bolts

MDT xrs or field are great also consider MDT HNT25 or XLR element but both are £1000+

A Boyds might work. Not too nasty a price either.

Oooh. Are you for real ?

Since you asked, the “part of I love this rifle” I struggled with are:

but the stock is too low

the raiser moves,

but also don’t want a plastic, flexible piece of crap

like what you already have

You criticised the rifle not me, so don’t get all prissy.
