I have the B14 HMR in 308 and can say nothing but good things about it. They use the same foot print of the Remington 700 and the scope bases are also the same. Check out their website, it shows how they make their barrels. I have gotten sub .5 inch groups with the cheap Federal 150 grain (blue box $19.99) ammo. The action is smooth, great triggers, whats not to like.
