Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires What's your best shooting target/matchgrade ammo

How are the Bergara B14's doing? Seems like they shoot very well. As for the CZ's, it seems like your Tikka holds it's own against them.. it also seems like guys are putting Lilja barrels on the MTR's and Varmints. That's an extra $700.00, just to get the CZ's to shoot acceptably well. A good rifle should have a good factory barrel on it, like your Tikka for example. To me, that is more of a reason to buy a Tikka..

We are down to 3 Bergaras. Two shoot great, one carbon and one steel, the other is driven by a guy that has to be blind because he is not competitive, lol. I know five guys that have them and all had feeding issues early but I think that got fixed.



To this point my T1x has a vertical grip, an 3d bag rider and a forearm added and that’s it other than a trigger spring clip.


The other guys that are always in the running have MDT Chassis, tuners, TriggerTech triggers, etc. I’m over here just banging away with my little $hitbox T1x, lol. I say that because this is considered the “factory class” in our group.


The CZ guys can change barrels as long as it’s a factory CZ barrel. I was going to buy a T1x barrel from Gary Eliseo and I was told I couldn’t shoot against them because he’s a gunsmith, lol.


It’s fun though. It’s pretty cool my gun with about $50 worth of parts is hanging with guys that have an extra $1k in their rifles with add ons.

I broke down and added a 3-6oz Jard trigger today. That/me was responsible for two 0’s on the Clover challenge, lol. I was adjusting my rifle and must have brushed the side of the trigger.

One of those in a Bravo would probably be awesome.

Great info. Thanks buddy!! Man, that Bergara barreled action looks sweet. The feeding issues has me concerned though. When the T1x first came out, I think they also had some issues with that, due to the magazines. That's one thing the CZ's do very well, I guess. Mine feeds almost as nicely as my 1949 Winchester model 52, and that is saying a lot..

If you get a T1x that feeds weird remove it from the stock and loosen the screw that holds the magwell in, pull it back towards the trigger and tighten the screw. That usually fixes it as it changes the angle making it less steep.


One of the Bergara guys bought 5 extra mags before he found one that would feed. I think all that mess has been remedied though as I’ve not seen them have an issue in quite awhile.

Good info. Thanks. I’ll try to remember that!

I have a savage mark ii tr. Only about 500 rounds through it so far but it likes sk lr match and sk sv. For regular plinking I use cci sv. The sleeper for this rifle is Anguilla target competition.

Lilja barrels are $195 more than a Kidd barrel.
