Buy recommendations Opinions on a first bolt action

For my first high powered rifle, I’m currently between a Tikka T3X Ace Game and a Bergara B-14 Wilderness Carbon both in .308

I’m a left handed shot and plan on using it for BC hunting and range shooting, also plan on keeping this rifle for a long time.

Went to a local BC gun shop today looking at some rifles in person and to hopefully get my hands on. Bergara but they didn’t have one in stock so one of the workers suggested the left handed Tikka which was the first lefty I’ve actually held and it was nice but I did kinda like the classic Remington 700 look the B-14 has.

Opinions on either of these would be greatly appreciated

Tikka T3x is the best value proposition on the market, relative to its quality and performance. If you like the classic look, get a T3x Hunter instead of the Ace. It might not be easy to find in left-handed configuration but not impossible either.
