New Bergara Rimfire Introduced today

Interesting that feeding issues are mentioned with the B14R, as I think that was the one that they used on an Ultimate Reloader YouTube video and Gavin had feeding issues a couple of times when using it on a simulated match that was timed. I will hopefully be getting a 22 precision/trainer rifle this year and I have basically narrowed it down to CZ, Tikka, and Bergara, but I need it to:

A)Be consistently accurate
B)Feed reliably
C)Be in a full sized (and preferably somewhat/minimally modular) configuration

I think that all 3 seem to fit "A", but "B" will be the deciding factor

I've owned 20+ CZ rimfires. 452, 455, and 457. Never had a single feed, fire, or eject issue.

I have two T1x's and between friends and matches I've shot against 6 others and I've never seen anyone have an issue with feed or function.

I've had one 457 and shot against a whole of pile 457's and a few 455's and I've ever seen anyone have any feeder function issues with them either.

This is Bergara's micro rimfire action using proprietary mags. The B14R is a REM 700 footprint. Other difference would be the stock. Barrels are essentially the same. This model is essentially the BMR with a heavier steel barrel and a stock more designed for competition.
So it is not a Remington 700 footprint for different stock options?
 
I have a B14R and it's a little finicky, well, it was when I first got it. After 1000 or so rounds it started smoothing out a good bit, but yes they have been known for feeding and ejection issues, at least the early production runs were, it's pretty well documented on the Bergara forum on RFC.
