Bergara B14R left hand, something to practice with that won't break the bank, well the good 22 ammo is not really cheap but barrel life is better!
bought a new 22

Every Bergara I've shot, including the 22, has been accurate.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

This has been my experience as well with Bergara rifles. I see that they offer a fast-twist barrel as standard on their .22-250 rifles!! Hmm!
Enjoy. One cannot have too many .22's.

Besides 22 bullets, are there any bullets that are good but a little cheaper for practice?

was shooting RWS Target Rifle the other day managed a .177" and a .207" 5 shot group at 50 yards, looking forward to trying other quality ammo to see what it likes.

Check out Norma Tac .22 target ammo. Shoots good and is inexpensive.
You can also check out Agila .22 ammo which is made in Mexico and inexpensive.
I am really enjoying mine so far! So nice to find a LH bolt action 22LR! Heavy for hunting, unless set up over a prairie dog town, but a lot of fun at the range!Bergara B14R left hand, something to practice with that won't break the bank, well the good 22 ammo is not really cheap but barrel life is better!
Have only done load testing out to 50 yards with 11 different types of ammo...will be working out at 100 yards next to see if the most accurate loads are still the standouts.
Lapua Center X is the most accurate, but also the second most expensive and hard to find locally here...
Eley Team and Match also shot very well, and Team isn't too pricey, whereas Match was the third most expensive locally when available.
SK Long Range Match also shot very well and was decently priced and not too hard to find.
RWS Special Match was also accurate and decently priced, and the easiest to find locally for me.
If ES and SD are important to you, then in my rifle, Lapua Center X and RWS Special Match had the best numbers, and the only two with both numbers in the single digits.
And if velocity is important, Eley Match and the RWS Special Match both matched manufacturer's velocities despite being shot in the Bergara's shorter barrel.
Enjoy!
