Product Description

The Bergara B-14 Squared Cima in 6.5 Creedmoor is the lightest B-14 ever built—tipping the scales at just 5.8 lbs without compromise. This is a sporter-weight mountain rifle engineered for hunters and long-range shooters who refuse to sacrifice accuracy for pack-ability. CURE Carbon barrel construction and a 100% carbon fiber stock deliver sub-MOA performance straight from the box, backed by Bergara’s accuracy guarantee.

Specifications

What Makes the B-14 Squared Cima Different

• CURE Carbon barrel technology — Embedded stainless steel strands eliminate the heat-to-accuracy tradeoff that plagues standard carbon wrapped barrels, delivering consistent zero shift even during extended shooting sessions.
• Aerospace-grade carbon fiber stock at 18 oz — Uses the same CF-RTM (Carbon Fiber Resin Transfer Molding) process as Bergara’s premium Crest model, paired with an SMC carbon mini-chassis (not aluminum) for maximum weight savings without sacrificing rigidity.
• Sporter silhouette that carries like a hunting rifle — This isn’t a tactical chassis gun. The classic lines and ergonomics make the Cima feel and balance like a traditional mountain rifle, ideal for backcountry hunts where weight matters.
• Remington 700 footprint on the B-14 action — Access to decades of aftermarket support: stocks, triggers, scope mounts, and chassis. The B-14’s two-lug system, coned bolt nose, and stronger bolt stop than a Remington 700 deliver reliability and feeding that the original simply cannot match.
• User-adjustable Performance Trigger from 2–4 lbs — No gunsmith required. Tune the break weight to your preference with an Allen key. Factory preset lands around 3–3.5 lbs—reviewers consistently praise its crispness and comparison to upgraded aftermarket triggers.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara’s five-step barrel manufacturing process has earned a global reputation for precision. Each barrel is straightened, deep-hole drilled, polished with three-spindle diamond honing to a mirror finish, button-rifled with carbide buttons held to less than .0002″ groove diameter deviation, and high-temperature stress relieved. The CURE Carbon variant embeds stainless steel strands into the carbon wrap, solving a fundamental problem: standard carbon barrels can shift zero as they heat up. Bergara’s engineering eliminates that tradeoff. You get the weight savings of carbon with the thermal stability of steel—a barrel that shoots like a hand-lapped custom at production pricing.

6.5 Creedmoor: The Practical Long-Range Caliber

6.5 Creedmoor has become the standard for precision hunting and match shooting over the past decade. It delivers flat trajectory, minimal wind drift, and enough energy for elk-sized game at distance—all with manageable recoil and ammunition that is now widely available and competitively priced. At 20 inches, the Cima’s barrel length preserves the velocity and ballistic advantage of the cartridge while keeping the overall package light enough to pack miles into the high country. If you’re building a rifle that needs to work from 100 yards to 400+ yards without apology, 6.5 Creedmoor on a 5.8 lb platform is a smart choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the CURE Carbon barrel differ from a standard carbon wrap barrel?

Standard carbon barrels save weight but can suffer from zero shift as the barrel heats during shooting. The carbon expands and contracts at a different rate than the steel core beneath it. Bergara’s CURE Carbon embeds stainless steel strands into the carbon matrix. This changes the thermal expansion characteristics so the barrel maintains zero even during extended shooting strings. You get the weight savings of carbon with the thermal stability hunters and precision shooters need.

What’s the difference between the Cima and other B-14 models?

The Cima is purpose-built for weight. Its 100% carbon fiber stock (not just the forend) and SMC carbon mini-chassis make it the lightest B-14 Bergara manufactures—5.8 lbs versus 7–8 lbs for the B-14 HMR or Crest models. You trade the picatinny rail and aluminum mini-chassis of heavier competition rifles for a sporter-weight platform that excels on foot. All B-14 models share the same sub-MOA guarantee and Remington 700 footprint action.

Can I convert the floor plate to AICS detachable magazines?

Yes. The Cima ships with an M5 hinged floor plate, and Bergara designed the M5 bottom metal to accept AICS-pattern detachable magazines with a simple conversion. If you want the flexibility of quick magazine changes for hunting or the range, AICS magazines and plates are widely available and competitively priced. The hinged floor plate gives you the option to choose later.

Is the Bergara Performance Trigger field-adjustable?

Completely. The trigger pulls range from 2 to 4 lbs and adjust via a simple Allen key wrench—no gunsmith needed. Bergara sets them around 3 to 3.5 lbs from the factory. If you prefer a lighter or heavier break, you can dial it in yourself in minutes. Reviewers consistently compare it favorably to upgraded aftermarket triggers costing significantly more.

What’s the sub-MOA accuracy guarantee?

Bergara backs every B-14 with a written guarantee: your rifle will shoot sub-MOA (groups under 1 inch at 100 yards) with quality factory ammunition, straight from the box, before any modifications. No exceptions, no asterisks. If your rifle doesn’t meet that standard, Bergara makes it right. That confidence reflects decades of barrel-making heritage and the precision of their five-step manufacturing process.

Does the 20″ barrel sacrifice velocity in 6.5 Creedmoor?

A 20″ barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor gives up roughly 50–75 fps compared to a 24″ barrel, but the tradeoff is worth it for a mountain rifle. You’ll still achieve velocities in the 2650–2750 fps range with most loads—plenty for ethical hunting to 400+ yards. The Cima’s weight savings (compared to a longer-barreled rifle) means you’ll actually shoot it more consistently, which matters more than 50 fps in the field.

What’s the Remington 700 footprint, and why does it matter?

The B-14 uses the same action screw spacing and mounting pattern as the Remington 700—the bolt-action rifle that’s dominated for decades. That means the B-14 works with virtually every aftermarket stock, chassis, trigger, and scope mount ever made for the 700. The ecosystem is massive. If you ever want to restock your rifle or upgrade components, you have thousands of options and prices will be competitive. It’s a huge advantage over proprietary actions.
