I found a used B14r at the LGS for $719. They also have a new one for $1029. Is it worth saving the $310 but not get any warranty? Anyone have experience with Bergara warranty?

I realize that the MTR rules most of the rimfire competitions. I like that the B14R has the 700 action, but I'm not sure that is worth the extra. The MTR stock looks beautiful, which would really give me pause to drill it out for an arca rail. Plus it doesn't really feel flat and I would truely wonder if the arca rail would sit flat.

What I'm curious about is if anyone has first hand experience with both rifles and why you preferred one over the other? I've given up on staying in the base class and really only want to compete for fun.

This is my first can. I’ve seen a lot of videos and articles talking about checking suppressor alignment before the first use. I noticed that the SiCo manual didn’t even mention them. My questions are:

- Did you check yours with one?
- If not, how did you check or was it necessary?
- Is it necessary each time you attach it?
