You can easily replace the bolt stop and go for the full length magnum magazine if you want more mag length.

There are just as many aftermarket options for Tikkas these day, and in someways you'd be more like to pick up used aftermarket stuff on here for a Tikka than Rem 700.

The 70degree bolt throw on the Tikka is enough to convince me, along with Tikkas being a well known quantity.
I'm sure the Bergara will be fine but if you were worried about getting a lemon Tikka is the safer bet IMO.

Stock options hands down go to the 700 footprint but that’s an expensive aftermarket part if you don’t want to be changing parts I’d go tikka
