Long action with mag boltface will be your best bet.

Listen to the man! Built mine off a TL3 long action.

Do it! Send it to APR. They built mine on a long action with a 24” Proof barrel. It loves factory 143 grain ELD-X.

Just call Bergara pro shop and order what you want. Or buy a B14 in 6.5prc and send it to who ever you want aka APR.

If you’re not trying to use one of your existing actions, I would strongly recommend calling APR to get you fixed up turnkey so you don’t run into issues. Their action is great as well as the truckload of Defiance’s they just received.

If you don't already have an action/rifle laying around to swap barrels on I'd go with a custom like the tenacity. Unless you find a screaming deal on an action or rifle you won't save much $$ and will come out ahead with a custom.

[bboswell]

Talk to Stic1, for what it costs to true a 700 action he can put you in a far superior custom action for very little more $

You might save $300 by building out a 700, but if you ever go to sell it you’ll lose a lot more than the $300 you saved. Built 700s just don’t retain their value well these days.
