Tikka Roughtech or Bergara Carbon Wilderness

[Yfz04drt]

Currently have a R700 5R in .308 with a 20" barrel. I love the gun but it is a hog with the scope and suppressor. I have it narrowed down to either a Tikka Roughtech with 20" barrel or a Bergara Carbon Wilderness in .308. I have a Tikka stainless in .243 and love the action but have always liked the R700 platforms. Main use will be a mixture of blind hunting and spot and stalking. Trying to stay under the $1200 range for rifle only. Thanks in advance for any help making my decision.

Another vote for Tikka after getting to spend some time setting up and shooting a friend's 2 Bergara rifles. I'll take my 223 Tikka everyday.

put 1k into your 700 and build exactly what you want

No experience with Bergara, have 2 CA rifles which are 700 footprints, I usually shoot my tikkas more
