Can some one tell me what type of replacement trigger I can get for the B14?

According to Shootinguk magazine,
Trigger, safety and magazine
The trigger is a pure Remington clone also and as such is fine. There are adjustments for weight and pull but the factory-set 2.75lb weight was good with just a small amount of creep but the sear broke cleanly. Being a Remington clone, any aftermarket trigger can be retro fitted but the Bergara’s is fine for most hunters.

Okay one more question to save me some research or confusion. Why is it that the firing pin assembly looks so different from a standard 700? Are those interchangeable? It appears that the standard 700 has a circular rear part to the assembly and the bergara has this flat bottom with multi contoured top and when you cock it there is a little "loaded indicator" that sticks out the back. I'm just wondering in case some day I decided to get a replacement.
Like I said earlier I just fit a barrel to one of those actions my customer re did the firing pin he wasn't happy with the original fit plus they where supposedly having trouble with the bolt shroud on this action under some kind of recall.
I think them folks at Shilen were taught by Hart barrels, well I heard anyhow.
My br14 only turned into a serious shooter when changing barrel to a KI precision and adding a trigger tech trigger.
For what that’s worth.
I personally had zero luck with stock barrel trying several flavors of available ammo.
Just my experience not knocking anyone. It’s just a .22lr. But now it is pretty consistent at 100yards. Anything further it’s really dependent on my wind read skills.

I bought my B14 Timber in .243 a few weeks ago finally got to the range this past Thursday....
It shoot Remington Core-Loct 100 gr.into .670, .581, and .371" groups at 100 yards.
Norma Whitetail 100 gr. Grouped .449, .296, and .335" at 100 yards.....
All that said, mine was blessed with a Trigger Tech trigger from the factory set at 1.5# ( an email to Bergara USA verified that this is a common mishap at the Bergara factory).

Don't complain about that trigger! they wont let us have that anymore, instead thank and praise them for us.
Handsome looking rifle, I don't own a Bergara yet, but, they are looking more and more tempting
Especially if they came with a 1.5# TT
Being used to light triggers to begin with
I don't like any trigger that is over 2 lbs. even on a hunting/field rig

Not a complaint about the trigger ( as Bob Ross would say... It's a Happy Accident). I believe the standard trigger on the B14 series is 2.5# minimum pull weight), unless you get lucky and the smith installs a trigger meant for their one of the premier series rifles by accident, lol

I purchased the b14 hunter, when I put the barrel in the vise the stock and action turned on me, I was shocked. Just make sure to check the barrel/action torque. Oh one more complaint the steel pillars was way out of wack putting the action in a bind. I installed new pillars and bedded, all good now 1/2-3/4 inch groups with 42gr Imr 4350, Hornady 90gr eld-x, Norma brass, Fed primers.
It’s sure nice to see some beautiful wood stock’s again.
