Bought the Weatherby a few weeks ago in .30-06. They aren’t over exaggerating anything about it. The trigger is fantastic, my action doesn’t feel gummy at all, so they might’ve got a slightly flawed production. IMO, the three stage safety also pushed it to the top over the B-14. Anyway this review went a long way in helping my decision of which to purchase. There’s a million options and 2 million things to think about, you guys made it easier!

What can I say these clones are great. kzitem.infoUgkxyRRlSON42Gvsq2Sv56DpPlr0XZQpL-JB This is the same as the Air hawk but with a few minor changes. The trigger adjustment screw is shorter then the air hawk so you dont get that super light trigger. It's a easy hardware store fix. The synthetic stock to me is 100x better then the air hawk wood stock. This black hawk air rifle is strong and shoots great. The only thing you have to remember with these air rifles is that they are way over greased and oiled from the factory. There are only three ways to cure this but I'm only going to tell you 2 of them. 1. Shoot it and deal with the noise. 2. Disassemble and wipe all the lube off resemble an shoot. Great rifle and all the diana 34 parts will fit these. Edit: Vortek sells seals for these that are way better then the factory installed seals. I installed the vortex seal and a new breach seal with a shim kit and Now I got a efficient and powerful air rifle with a smooth solid shot cycle. This thing shoots smoother then my gamo maxxim swarm.

I have been able to shoot most of the rifles you tested except the Bergara. I've owned a Weatherby Vanguard in 30-06 for 12 years (round count is at 1120). The target in the box was a perfect 1/2 inch triangle. With my loads I get .33 inch. Lots of meat in the freezer and on paper and steel it's outrageously great. Deadly accurate, beauty trigger and my action is like butter. I have the "Back Country" model with a fluted barrel. I have since put in a Timney, I always moly the barrel after 200 rounds, added a muzzle brake and I did the paint myself. Great video. I'm going to comment on the 30-06 video as well.

THANK YOU guys for all the support. We're BLOWN AWAY with how fast this channel is taking off. We're aware that Howa makes the action for the Weatherby Vanguard. But you put a different trigger, barrel, and stock on a gun, and you have a completely different gun. That's what we see in the test, but we're also interested in putting some aftermarket parts on the Howa and seeing what we could make that gun do because it has a LOT of potential.

@ that's a fact! Howa makes the weatherby, and weatherby puts there own spin and a larger price tag on it. Howa had made Sako for a long while. Howa still makes the Weatherby Vanguard. And he would pick it for the trigger. Lol I'd rather have a HOWA and do my own bedding, and pick my own trigger(such as a timney,) for the same price as that relabled Howa. Howa makes the best barrelled actions for the money. I've built many of precision Long-rangers with Howa. I was a pretty solid pre-64 model 70 and older Rem 700 guy, before I got linked up with Howa's 👍 I am always sad to see America Fail. I really hate watching it. But that's what the manufacturers do once they get their big money. They stop focusing on QC and the buyer. And just crank em out as fast as possible. Meanwhile, in other places...... 🇯🇵 they continue making things better and better. Take note other manufacturers. And seriously guys...... Take the rifles apart. Look at the bolts. Look at the way the bolt comes apart. Good luck with the remington! The Howa bolt is second to none. Just break em down and get acquainted. Then report back

I have the B14, Bergara HMR and the Ruger American all in 6.5 Creedmoor. I love the Bergaras accuracy and smoothness but I always reach for the Ruger when I go out into the sticks. Not only is lighter and can hold its own against the Bergaras as far as accuracy, it’s cheap enough that I’m not worried about beating it up or scratching it. Other rifles make the trip about them, you have to worry about getting them wet, constantly taking care not to ding them up and taking them into consideration in how you go about setting up your shot, they are basically like bringing your high maintenance girl on the hunt. In contrast the Ruger is like one of those tools you buy at a hardware store, sure there’s better but you don’t care if you beat it all to hell to get the job done.

Ruger still puts irons on their American Rimfire bolt gun, but that’s probably because most people wouldn’t be going out past 100 yds or so when shooting .22

I have both a Bergera B14 hunter in 6.5 and just picked up a Weatherby Vanguard Meat eater edition in 6.5, and I can tell you it's an awesome shooter! I think the Bergera Wilderness hunter is a perfect match for the Weatherby Vanguard....both have cerakote, painted stocks, both are within .1 ounce of each other ( in 6.5 ). There are some main differences between the two...if you prefer a 2 stage trigger, 3 position safety, fluted threaded "24 barrel..the Weatherby is the way to go. If you prefer a two-position very positive safety, Rem 700 stock-trigger options, an amazing feeling " Mcmillan Hunters Edge clone " stock and a "22 barrel the Bergara is perfect. The accuracy for both rifles is so close it's pretty much a wash, on any given day with factory ammo one could shoot a little better than the other.

I'm an economist and did a little analysis of *your* analysis. Agree with what you've said except you've failed to compare the final score with the purchase price of each gun. This is a major oversight. In the following chart, it's "golf rules": the LOWEST ratio wins because you're spent the lowest amount of cash to "purchase" one point of quality. Paying $5 per pound of prime beef is objectively better than paying $10 per pound of prime beef. Rifles below are listed from best- to worst-value. (Different prices paid or different opinions of quality will drastically affect these rankings.) 1) BERGARA B-14: PURCHASE PRICE/FINAL SCORE = ($700 / 9 POINTS) = $78/POINT, winner! 2) WEATHERBY VANGUARD: $81/POINT, or 4% worse than winner. 3) RUGER AMERICAN: $86/POINT, or 9% worse than winner. 4) TIKKA T3X SUPERLITE: $94/POINT, or 17% worse than winner. 5) HOWA 1500 HOGUE: $96/POINT, or 19% worse than winner. 6) SAVAGE 110 SWITCHBACK: $130/POINT, or 40% worse than winner. 7) KIMBER 84M HUNTER: $150/POINT, or 48% worse than winner. 8) REMINGTON 700: $158/POINT, or 51% worse than winner. Unsurprisingly, "Rustington" is dead last when value is controlled for cost. Congrats to Bergara for the win.

I have to disagree with you on the Weatherby Camo. I love mine. Especially with the cerakote barrel. I also am glad you made a statement about the Savage 110. I have the Apex Predator 110 in 6.5CM and it shoots very accurate and had very little recoil out of the box. I have since added a muzzle brake and it now has less recoil than my AR chambered in 5.56.

I have the b14 in 30-06 and I love it. I fully took it apart and put it back together and it was still dialed in at 100 yards. I stored it in my gun case wet after my first few uses and some light rust was forming on the barrel. It took like ten minutes to get it off, but that’s why I took it apart. Hands down one of the best out the box triggers for the price.

Agreed. Shooting them both, I was thinking the same thing, but clearly the Weatherby was more smooth and it was set quite a bit lower as far as trigger pull lbs out of the box.

@hochhaul

The accuracy difference is due to the cheap Hogue stock, which flexes so much it actually touches the barrel. The Howa trigger comes pre-set at about 4 to 4.5 lbs. It's easy to modify the trigger to give it a light, clean break by trimming a spring inside. kzitem.info/news/bejne/oo2Kp6mrZqCWgaQ Howa (LSI) now offers the HS Precision Howa 1500 with a quality stock. With that one change, the Howa will easily shoot as good as the Weatherby version.

The recoil on that was starting to effect me after going through 25 rounds. I'm sure the tikka should be ok. The only time the recoil is going to be noticable is when zeroing the rifle.

The 2 main complaints I have are the trigger reach is a touch long, and the barrel does heat up quick at the range. If I had to do it over again I think the Tikka Super-Lite would probably be a better option overall, but you can't get it cerakoted with a Kryptek stock.
