Opinions on a first bolt action

[u/Wooden_Week5385]

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 is legendary, I used a Tikka in -50c conditions without any issues. Like others said the bolt can be locked and that’s a big plus when dealing with less than ideal conditions

The arctic looks soooo good.
