Wife not home so guns go in the kitchen.

12.5" MRA Renegade Mk2 in 223 wylde with furniture upgrades, a romeo 5x and hm3x, and my brand new 24" Bergara B14 HMR in 308 with a Bushnell Match Pro ED 5-30x56.

Nice Bergara The renegades just arnt good at anything though sold mine right away bolt release is so stiff cause it binds on the lower  If you rip on the charging handle fast you cut you knuckles good on it. It’s just not an ar15 at all and it is a shitty bolt action I was pumped at first but after a week I was disappointed

The renegade is good at (for me)

• looking sort of like an AR

• going boom at the range

• 20rd mags

I agree the bolt catch is stiff. You can just pull the charging handle back though. I've never cut myself on it. I also don't like disassembly for cleaning.

It does what I want it to 🤷

That being said, the Bergara feels higher quality in every way.

Ya I get u can use the bolt but it has a bolt release it should work I’ve herd a quality aftermarket one fixes it you can see the play in the one it comes with also the trigger is the worst mil spec trigger going I changed mine to a trigger tec after one shooting trip for 1500$ it should be better imo

What triggertech would you recommend? I didn't think it was too bad til I dry fired the Bergara for the first time to compare.

Good to know on the aftermarket bolt releases. I don't mind giving it a good push, but I never had the real thing to compare to!

Agreed it should be better for the money. I picked it up before the Makasi and Carmel were announced and only just finished adding the stock and grip.

The duty trigger is pretty good for the price I had a two stage flat face in mine. I had to push my bolt release so hard it was stupid  You could polish your stock trigger it will clean up a bit but god dam it was bad
