I've had my Bergara B14 Timber for a few years , I've never liked the trigger .
Has anyone changed theirs and what did they replace it with ?
 
Update time ,

I managed to buy a second hand , unused Timney "The Hit" trigger for the Remmy 700 clones and had that fitted today to the action . I then took it home and adjusted the pull to 1 1/4 lbs (adjustment range is 8oz to 2lb). Release is very crisp with a hint of overtravel .
Here's the bad news , on being put back together the trigger blade fouls the trigger guard, preventing it from operating . On top of that I gauled the leading part of the thread on the front action screw in my frustration , it always had a shallow bite .FFS .

I've emailed ruag , in regards to obtaining a replacement screw and Timney in regards to shortening the trigger blade. I don't want to contravene warranty conditions.

What ya gonna do 🤦‍♂️

Oh , the suffering.

I had an Arnold Jewel in my B14. these are top notch. Still have it in its replacement. Bix and Andy even better.

I bought a second hand Timney The Hit and pretty much scrapped the rifle on the grounds that the barrel was made of toffee .
I liked the action and used it as a base for my 22 Creedmoor build , which I'm really liking .
I won't be getting into my views on Bergara rifles , needless to say I know others who share my views .
 
I concur with Fox. I had a B14 chassis rifle in 6.5 Creed. good action, good chassis but the barrel was toast before it reached 1000 round count.

Mine just never shot well and I really never enjoyed shooting it . The Timber stock had a Monte Carlo style cheek that was far too thick and made it hard to get a natural alignment with the scope .
It now lives on in an Accuracy International AT .
