    Which tops rifle

    Keen to start stretching my range out and looking at a tops rifle in 6.5 prc.

    Think I have narrowed it down to Bergara B14 Extreme Hunter and Tikka T3x Veil. I really like that both options come ceratoked and threaded from factory. I felt that the Tikka had a lot smoother and nicer feeling action, however Bergaras stock was solid and nicer feeling.
    Both fit my shoulder pretty well.
    Is the increase in price (~$800) really worth it for the gains in action and barrel? As theres a possibility I'll be replacing the stock in the future, making it even more.

    What I'm really after is a rig that will continue to perform after many years.

    I've put rounds through a R700 in .308, which is the same platform as the Bergara, but I like trying new things so not against the Tikka.

    Cheers
