Bergara B-14R Bore Guide Source?

[Stugots]

I know the rifle is brand new on the market, and did a web search for a bore guide for my new B-14R but have come up dry so far... Does anyone know where you may source one yet?

Isn't it a Rem 700 footprint? so...would a Rem 700 bore guide fit?

The outside is. Bolt is a different configuration so it may not work.

The B14R is a rimfire, the Rem. 700 a centerfire, so probably not. A bore guide for a Rem. 40x .22 LR might work, though.

Possum Hollow boreguides can make one to fit!

I have a B-14 R and the Possum Hollow boreguide for a Rem. 40x. It will fit, but it only measures .696" There is a little slop in the fit when you insert it into the action. If I had to guess, I would go with an OD on the boreguide of .700. I have been applying a layer of Scotch transparent tape to 1 side if the boreguide ad that measured .699. There was just a slight amount of play when inserted.

I contacted Eric with Possum Hollow and he was exceptional to work with! I measured the diameter of my bolt with one of my dial calipers, gave him the information, and he sent me bore guides to try out in my Bergara B-14. After the 4 one I now have a bore guide that fits like a glove. Unfortunately, Eric wouldn't take any money from me for his efforts... Overall a great experience, and I can not recommend Eric/Possum Hollow highly enough!
