What is not covered by my warranty?

The warranty does not cover unauthorized modifications, repairs, wear, rust, neglect, use of handloaded ammunition, or other damage that results from not following instructions in user manual.

What is the difference in the Premier/B-14 line?

All premier rifles are made exclusively in the USA. The premier actions and barrels are made from premium stainless steel, and are finished in Cerakote. The premier bolt has a fluted body, and an interchangeable floating bolt head, and features a tool-less, ¼ turn takedown for easy cleaning and disassembly. The premier line also uses Triggertech primary triggers, and top of the line stocks and components made exclusively in the USA. The B-14’s are made in Spain, and all of it’s components are sourced from overseas. The barrels and actions are made from a high carbon steel rather than stainless, and the finish is bluing, rather than Cerakote. The shape of the B-14 bolt head in the same as the Premier, but it is not a floating bolt head, and it does require simple tools to disassemble and clean the bolt and its internal components.

What rail should I buy?

Any standard Remington 700 rail will work on the B-14 line. The premier line requires a 700 rail with 8-40 screws. We recommend buying our Premier SA rail so you don’t have to worry about it.

What scope do you recommend?
