I've been buying Anschutz since the mid 60's & always have several models on hand. If you're into refined, blue and timber rim fires, the B14R is not for you! The Anschutz rifles which win medals are not your typical 1416 sporter designs. Anschutz have now discontinued the 64 action production though there are still quite a few models for sale.
I bought a B14R only because I like 22's & wanted to see why these 700 clones are all the rage at the moment. Based on a sample of ONE, the B14R I have is up there with the best functioning 22 bolt actions I've owned. It's a little ammo picky but with proven lot numbers of SK/Lapua, it will outshoot my 1808 Running Boar, is very close to both my 1710 DHB's and my 1761 (many up-grades) will eat it! Last week, a friend of mine (competitive BR shooter) borrowed our B14R and shot a 245/250 score on the SSAA IRB target with his first touch of the rifle - He now has a B14R on order! Here's 50 warm up shots (50 metres outdoors) from 2 days ago - I'm shooting my 1761 and my wife is shooting the Vudoo for the first time:



I've been sitting on the fence watching the development of the Vudoo since 2017 - I recently bought a V22R based on my experience with the Bergara & so far, it looks like money well spent.
Would I swap any of my "pretty" rim fires for a 700 clone? No way - There is a place for both & it just depends on how you plan to use the rifle.
