Please do a video on the tikka t3x rough tech vs Remington sps stainless steel… I’m going to get one of the two.

Had a Henry 223 Long Ranger. It shot well but after 8-10 rounds it would walk all over a 100 yard target. I sold it for more than I paid for it and bought a Tikka T3 varmint rifle. That big barrel really made a difference. Several of my friends came up and we put about 100 rounds through the Tikka (5 of us shooting 52, 55, and 64 grain bullets at 2 gongs, 8” and 4” at 250 yards. Consistently hitting both gongs regardless of the bullet weight. I also have a SAKO 50+ years old, thick barrel in 22-250 and it shoots as accurately. Best rifles I have ever fired. By the way I am 84 years old and shoot golf balls at 50 and 100 Yards as a hobby. One of the few things I am still able to do. I will probably do a video when it cools off a little bit.

Pencil barrels suck. My rule is, no barrel under .875" Diameter at it's narrowest point.

Great review. I have to admit I wasn't expecting the Bergara to get so many of the categories. I have a Begara, and love it, and for fairness I don't have a Tikka, but everyone I know that owns a Tikka swears by it.

I’d take the Tikka, regardless of the categories it didn’t win. Bergara 90 degree bolt lift is a hard pass for me. I’d rather not drag my knuckles across the scope every time I run the action. Also I’m not a fan of the lack of a bolt lock on safety. Another hard pass.

I was having issues with neck sizing my HMR to. When I switched to the Full length resizing that fixed all issues I had. I highly recommend the HMR to its a good rifle. Unless you want a lighter rifle then Tikka is your choice.

I think it’s amazing that both of those rifles can be had for the price they’re sold as. It’s awesome.

Great review. Thank you for this video.

I just bought the bergara b14 hmr in the 6.5 Creedmoor and after my barrel break in I shot a 3/16 group at 100m, and that was on a fairly windy day. My brother then shot and got a 3/8 group at 100m. The bergara is a laser beam so far. I can’t wait too stretch it out. That was with the Sako TRG Precision target rounds 136 grain. So far that’s all I’ve shot out of it. I’m not reloading yet but plan to shortly.

Calm and professional video. Was very interesting and useful to look. Thanks for video. Good job!!!

Thanks Mockba!

Thanks for the (as always) very helpful, informative and very good review!

Ive got both in 6.5CM. Tikka is easier to shoot tighter groups with (and thats with several samples of Tikkas and HMRs that friends and family own.). Tikka has the better trigger, and has the odd advantage of being able to swap from short to long action chamberings with a simple bolt stop swap. The Tikka's action is smoother and less prone to binding. It also has the advantage of a 70 degree throw which some people prefer (I can take it or leave it). The Bergara has a better factory stock by far, and has a decent advantage in aftermarket support. If I were to recomend one to someone who doesnt want to change or upgrade the gun at all, then get the Bergara just for the stock alone, the stock is great. But if you plan to change the stock, then Tikka is the better platform to make a semi-custom out of imo. Especially if you get the new Tikka T3x Supervarmint. If you want to get a Bergara and replace the stock and trigger and barrel etc..., then just get a custom action to begin with. Bergaras shine brightest when left in stock configuration in my opinion. Thats where they represent the greatest value.

In Europe Begara won't make/sell an HMR in .223 Rem. Apparently the Spanish Govt won't allow them to make them for the European market so I was told by a Spanish sales rep. Instead I bought the Tikka T3X CTR, 24" barrel , 1:8" twist and love it.It's accurate, like the double stack single feed mag and the standard trigger is fine for me breaking at around 3lbs.I'd still like a Bergara HMR at some point and will probably go for a .308 or 6.5 creed...One of my favourite channels and always look out ofr your video's so keep up the good work.. Regards from England.. :-)

Thanks for posting the video and confirming my selection. I’ve been debating a B14 HMR or Varmint/ Super Varmint T3x and I’ve decided on the B14 HMR mainly due to its compatibility to the Rem 700 and shootability straight out from the box. Love the T3X and how slick the action is, but the Bergara is very nice too. Although the plastic bolt shroud used to bug me, alot.

I chose the B14 HMR because it’s priced cheaper where I live. Best of luck with your option.

Hello, great video! Which option of the two would you take to alternate shooting and mountain hunting? Thank you!

European here.. was deciding between the HMR and the CTR myself. Went with the HMR in .308, taking it out to the range for the first time tomorrow! Interesting to see the price comparison. Here, the Bergara is around 1300€ while the tikka won't be less than 1600€ (CTR; 20"). Interesting to see you give the point for the barreled action to the HMR. Keep up the great work!

I'd prefer the B14 in 3-lug bolt configuration vs. the Rem 700 style two-lug, the 90 degree throw is a bit much imho. All in all, if you're planning to buy an upgrade stock anyhow, you might wanna go Tikka, but the B14 is an amazing piece of kit out of the box. I'd buy it again any day of the week!

Hunting left and hunting. I was looking at laminated prc 6.5. What your choice

Did some long range shooting with my t3x lite stainless in 223 and fell in love with this type of shooting. Soooo now Im looking to buy a rifle in 308. Got alot of fmjs in 308. I use them for shooting at shorter distances on moving targets with my sako 75. So, anyways. What barrel do I get? Shorter threaded or long barrel? Does it matter? If it doesn't I'm considering the new bergara b14 extreme hunter Sierra model with the short barrel. Had a gen1 of those before. Shot one ragged hole at 100m. For now I can only shoot out to 300m. Thanks for all the superb content!

I’d like to see you do a comparison with the Weatherby and the Bergara. I’m trying to finger what I want.

My last 2 big game rifles were a Bergara Wilderness ridge 6.5 PRC and Tikka t3x lite 6.5 creedmoor. My next rifle is likely to be a Bergara B14 Hunter 30-06 and the next one will either be a Tikka or Bergara. Honestly in the $700-$1000 price range, these 2 rifles are at the top of the mountain in my opinion. There are other rifles that are good. Kimber, Howa, and Weatherby... But the Tikka and Bergara are bringing a lot of "bang for your buck"!

Alex, regarding the accuracy on your HMR: did you remove the paint from the pillars, where the stock touches the action? If not done already, you could get an easy improvement if you do so. It's an easy job with Q-tips or scotch brite and acetone. Check and remove the paint also from the underneath the stock: where the trigger guard touches the pillars. One additional possible improvement could come also from the bedding of the recoil lug..

I own a few tikkas my brother ownes bergara came from factory not ejecting shells replaced broken part. Btw its in 270 win shoots great.

I got a stainless varmint but really couldn’t get behind the stock. I got an MDT ACC chassis and it is now sweet, for less than the tac from tikka. I can get it to shoot .5 to .7 MOA time after time. Using SAKO precison 6.5 creedmoor rounds.

Fantastic info

Im going to start shooting PRS. Im thinking about getting a t3x varmint stainless. Thats pretty much descided. Now 6,5x55 or 308? Shorter barrel with supressor or long barrel? I know 308 can handle short barrels, but 6,5x55 kinda need longer barrels. What do you suggest? Selling a few guns to finance the build. Putting an Arken Optics EPL4 4-16x44 FFP VHR MIL on it.

I've shot both rifles in 6.5 creed. Both are equally accurate. The tikka has a smoother action and the trigger breaks cleaner on the tikka. The tikka also cycles with less effort than the Bergara. That being said the Bergara stock is noticeably stiffer. Shooting on a bench with a bipod the heavier stiff stock of the Bergara is at an advantage. That stiffness comes at the cost of a weight increase. The Bergara is built on the 700 action and there fore suffers the lack of a safety that locks the bolt.. If your hunting with a gun that shoots just as accurate as the other, but one has a safety that can insure my action doesn't come open accidentally and can cycle rounds with ease every time and weighs less. I'm choosing the one that can insure my gun bolt stays locked and is lighter and cycles easier. Both are great guns ones just seems happier on a bench and the other happier in the woods. It seems guns are always getting compared based on similar prices. It would be nice to see some comparisons based less on price and more on intended use. Say a tikka 3x upr vs. Bergara Bmr 14. They dont match up price wise but style wise they do.. just a thought.

It looked like you were really really struggling with the bergara bolt on video. I know it's smooth but it can't beat the tikka if you can't eject and chamber a round fast. Can it?

Hi John, yes I have one in .223

Little details matter and on the Tikka you can change out the barrel without a gunsmith (except maybe removing the barrel initially as they are on tight) and the Action can be changed from short to long by simply by using a different bolt/bolt head and moving the bolt stop. So basically the action on Tikkas can do it all. I've owned a HMR and they are great but would definitely go with a Tikka CTR and build it up from there.

Excellent review of both. I really appreciate that you did this comparison because these are the two that I'm actually looking at buying. I'm looking at getting a 22- 250 I see that the Bergara offers a 1 in 9 twist for the heavier bullets which I plan to shoot. Not sure exactly how heavy of a bullet I can go with 1 In 9 think I would be safe to 80 grains which pretty much covers me because I plan on shooting between 60 and 75 most of the time. The Tikka is it traditional 1 in 14 but I do see that they have two different twist rates fast and slow for the 223? So I'm not sure if the 22 250 has that option or not? Do you have any suggestions for me? I was also even looking at maybe spending a little bit more money on a Seiko varmint if I can get a fast twist. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thank you

@@EpikArms thanks alot you made my day ❤️

I got it, own both ❗️🤫

I myself have 5 Bergaras, 3 HMRs, Woodsman and an Approach. All excellent rifles

I would hands down go with the bergara. Without a doubt

Perdonar si escribo en español. Espero que tengáis una opción en KZread como yo, que pulsando con el ratón me traduce del inglés al español. Estoy dudando en comprar uno de estos dos rifles en España. El precio del B14 HMR es de 1325€ y el Tikka T3X Varmint cuesta 1400€ e incluso un poco mas. Hoy he comprado el HMR porque tiene un recubrimiento de cerakote, en cambio el varmint viene fosfatado. Si escojo el varmint en acero inoxidable ya se va a 1650€. El Bergara por 1325 con cerakote presenta mejor relación calidad precio anticorrosión.

Not to slam any other manufacturers here because they all make good rifles. But Tikka doesn’t make good rifles. They make GREAT rifles. I’ve owned two now and would never go back. Tikka is top notch and their slogan is not a joke.

With the bergara you forgot 243, 7mm-08, 7mm rem mag, 300 win mag and 30-06. I have a bergara b-14 hmr in a 7mm-08.

What do you think about videos that are saying that bergara rifles are bad? Y think they are saying that there bolts are bad.

I cannot speak much to that, the bolt on mine is very nice, the bolt lift is light, the action is buttery smooth. The only negative thing about the bolt would be that it has a wider bolt throw angle. Wich may cause you to scape your finger on the occular upon chambering a round

I'm this ---- close to pulling the trigger on a new Bergara B14 Hmr in 22-250. Probably going to order me one on Monday. Any thoughts or feed back is Welcome

Most likely it's use will be plinking & small game hunting coyotes, rabbits, crows and squirrels...I just pulled the trigger on one of the Bergara B14 HMR 22-250 and by that I mean hopefully Santa Claus will bring me one....now where can I get some Ammo

I have the Bergara but found it's really too heavy to pack around the forest hunting. Great on the shooting range though. Looking at a Tikka t3x now for hunting.
