3 Position Safety for Bergara B14

[Pepepotamo]

I love Bergara rifles for the price but I hate when the bolt opens while stalking. I've seen some aftermarket 3 position safety for Rem.700 but I'm not sure it will fit to the Bergara. Has anyone gone this route?

Thank you in advance.

Leave an empty fired chamber and the bolt won't 'open' without help....

This is what I'm doing on my Ruger. Haven't done it Hunting yet but I can't see the bolt opening unless manually manipulated.

Thank you for your replies.

I need to have a bullet into the chamber because I hunt thick bush at short ranges. No animal is going to wait at 50 yards until I feed the rifle...

Bullshit.....If that is true, you will have the rifle in your hands to be ready. The bolt will not open with it in your hands. If you have it slung, the time and movement it takes to shoulder and shoot is not much longer to chamber as you ready. But you go on believing your line...... And don't bother wasting time practicing how to quietly chamber a round because you don't believe it can work.

Jeez man take it easy .

If he hunts the Hardwoods in the northeast where I grew up, most of your shots will be at a jumped running deer. That's open sights type country where stuff happens fast and you.are trying to thread a bullet through an opening in thick brush at a running animal.

I live out west now and agree, There is almost zero need to carry chambered out here. Not everywhere is the same.

It's quieter to down the rifle from the shoulder that to feed it while the animal is 50yd away. Maybe hunting mountain or open country is different.

As I said, I had Bergara before and I sold it because of that (of course I tried the empty chamber method, and it cost me two trophies). Now I want a Bergara Extreme badly but I need to solve this issue, otherwise is a no-go.

Thank you all for the replies.

rubber band the bolt to the trigger guard/wrap the whole thing in vetwrap or ACE bandage/ tie a string to it. All kinds of options for those special folks that can't handle what a bazillion other folks with the same kinda rifles do...... this stuff is only as hard as you make it.

get in the habit of checking it every once in a while, or keeping your hand on it, instead of being in la-la land with no awareness of what's going on with yer bolt.

these Bergara are NO different than ANY other rifle without a safety that locks the bolt. Continue to suffer that pesky 'no-go' you speak of, or just get a M-70, Kimber, or another brand that locks the bolt.

Ok, enough. I tried to let your shitty ways slide but it's clear you're an asshole and it's not just a matter of you having a bad day.

The question is not if there are different ways to do it, the question is if you know if the three position safety on a Remington 700 can be installed on a Bergara rifle.

If you have no clue about that, go to spread your crap somewhere else.

Cheers.

Pepe Potatohead, I may be a a-hole, but I've yet to be outsmarted by a two position safety and a non-locking bolt. So I do have that going for me.....

You've clearly never hunted in the thickets of the northeast then. It would be very easy to snag your bolt while you were busting through briar thickets or mountain laurel and have your bolt slightly lifted just enough to make the gun worthless when you jump that buck out if his bed.

Seriously man, contribute in a positive manner or move on.
