Bergara B-14 Wilderness Series Ridge, Bolt Action Rifle, 22″ Threaded Barrel, Cerakote Finish, Sniper Gray

Product Description

The Bergara B-14 Wilderness Sierra in 7mm PRC is built for the hunter who refuses to compromise between tradition and modern capability. This right-hand rifle combines a classic sporter profile with field-proven precision engineering, delivering sub-MOA accuracy straight from the box while maintaining the ergonomics and balance serious hunters demand. The adjustable comb — a feature rarely found on hunting rifles at this price point — lets you dial in perfect cheek weld height for any optic without buying a new stock, and the fluted barrel shaves weight while improving heat dissipation for extended shooting sessions in the backcountry.

Specifications

What Makes the B-14 Wilderness Sierra Different

• Adjustable Comb for Custom Fit: Unlike standard hunting rifles, the Wilderness Sierra lets you fine-tune cheek weld height via a simple Allen key adjustment on the side of the stock — no new furniture needed when you change optics or shooting position.
• Fluted Barrel for Backcountry Balance: The No. 5 taper fluted barrel reduces overall weight to 7.4–7.7 lbs while improving heat dissipation, critical when you’re glassing and shooting at elevation where every ounce matters.
• M5 Dual-Magazine System: The M5 bottom metal accepts AICS detachable magazines or a traditional hinged floor plate — swap them in the field without tools, giving you the best of modern logistics and classic reliability.
• Remington 700 Ecosystem: Built on the B-14 action with a true R700 footprint, you have access to decades of aftermarket stocks, chassis, triggers, scope mounts, and gunsmith support — the largest bolt-action ecosystem in the world.
• Professional-Grade Trigger Out of the Box: The Bergara Performance Trigger is adjustable from 2–4 lbs with no gunsmith required. Factory-set to a crisp 3–3.5 lbs, it matches or beats most aftermarket options and is one of the rifle’s strongest competitive advantages.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara didn’t build its reputation on marketing — it built it on barrels. The company, named after a gunmaking town in Spain’s Basque region, has manufactured precision barrels for the world’s top firearms makers for decades. Every Bergara barrel goes through a rigorous five-step process: precision straightening, deep-hole drilling for consistency, three-spindle diamond honing to a mirror finish, button rifling with carbide buttons held to less than .0002 inch groove diameter deviation, and high-temperature stress relieving to lock in stability. That process, applied at production scale, is why Bergara rifles shoot like hand-lapped customs and why every rifle carries a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee straight from the box.

7mm PRC: Modern Cartridge for Modern Hunters

The 7mm PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge) is relatively new, but it solves a real problem: the gap between short-action .308-class cartridges and magnum-length rounds. In a standard-length action, the 7mm PRC delivers 7mm Remington Magnum ballistics with less recoil and better powder efficiency. It’s a flat-shooting, wind-bucking round that works equally well on elk at 400 yards or mule deer at 800, and at 22 inches, this barrel length optimizes velocity without sacrificing packability. If you’re hunting in the West or upgrading from a .300 Win Mag that beats you up, the 7mm PRC is worth serious consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the adjustable comb actually change point of impact?

The adjustable comb only changes your cheek weld height — it doesn’t move the scope or barrel. What it does is dial in your eye position relative to the scope’s optical center, eliminating parallax issues and giving you a crisp sight picture at any distance. If you’re switching from iron sights to a low-mounted optic or running a high-power variable, the ability to adjust comb height without re-zeroing is a game-changer for field accuracy.

Is 7mm PRC ammo available, and what should I expect to pay?

7mm PRC ammo is now in the mainstream — Federal, Hornady, and Nosler all produce it. You’ll find it at most larger shops and online retailers. Pricing is comparable to 7mm Rem Mag or 28 Nosler, roughly $1.50–$2.00 per round for quality factory loads. Reloading components and brass are also readily available, and once you settle on a load, the cartridge is very accurate and easy to reload.

Can I use standard AICS magazines, or do I need Bergara-branded ones?

The M5 bottom metal is designed to work with standard AICS magazines — Magpul, Duramag, or others. We recommend testing any new magazine before hunting, but in our experience, quality AICS mags feed reliably. If you prefer traditional hunting reliability, the hinged floor plate is field-swappable, so you can run box-fed in the backcountry and switch to detachable mags at the range.

What’s the trigger pull like out of the box, and is it adjustable?

Factory-set to approximately 3–3.5 lbs, the Bergara Performance Trigger is crisp with minimal creep and a clean break. It’s adjustable from 2–4 lbs using an Allen key — no gunsmith required. Most hunters prefer to leave it as-is, but if you want a lighter trigger for precision shooting or heavier for hunting safety, you can dial it in yourself in ten minutes.

Does this rifle come with the muzzle brake, and is it removable?

Yes, the Bergara Omni Muzzle Brake comes installed and threaded. It’s 5/8×24, the industry standard, so you can easily swap it for a suppressor, flash hider, or traditional muzzle cap if you prefer. Bergara brakes are also sold separately, so you can experiment with different models without re-threading the barrel.

How does the fluted barrel affect cleaning and longevity?

The flutes reduce weight and improve cooling, but they don’t compromise barrel life. Clean the flutes like you would any barrel — a standard bore brush and rod work fine. The flutes may require a bit more attention with a patch to ensure full drying, but that’s it. Bergara barrels are known for exceptional longevity, and the fluted design doesn’t change that.
