Bergara B-14 Series HMR Rifle, Bolt Action Rifle, 308 Winchester, 20″ Barrel, Cerakote Finish, Black, 308WIN Mn-ch 5RD

Product Description

The Bergara B-14 HMR in .308 Win is the rifle for shooters who refuse to choose between precision accuracy and practical hunting performance. Built on Bergara’s renowned B-14 action with a Remington 700 footprint, this left-hand model delivers sub-MOA accuracy straight from the box while maintaining the ergonomics and handling characteristics serious hunters demand. The HMR—Hunting Match Rifle—bridges the gap between PRS Production competition and field use, making it equally at home on the range or in the field.

Specifications

What Makes the B-14 HMR Different

• Integrated aluminum mini-chassis in a hunting stock form factor: You get the bedding precision of a competition chassis without the weight or bulk—the same technology used in dedicated PRS systems, molded invisibly into the stock.
• No. 6 taper barrel designed for precision: Heavier than standard sporter profiles, this profile is optimized for supported precision fire while maintaining practical field weight.
• Adjustable cheekpiece and length-of-pull spacers: Dial in your fit without aftermarket parts. The adjustable cheekpiece requires no tools, and LOP spacers let you customize the stock to your dimensions.
• AICS magazine compatibility: Your rifle accepts detachable magazines from MDT, Magpul, and standard AICS manufacturers—thousands of aftermarket options at your fingertips.
• PRS Production class-eligible out of the box: You’ll see these rifles regularly at PRS matches. This isn’t a compromise gun; it’s a match-proven platform.

Bergara’s Barrel Manufacturing Heritage

Bergara barrels are forged in the Spanish town of Bergara, a region with centuries of gunmaking legacy. Every barrel goes through a rigorous 5-step process: precision straightening, deep-hole drilling, three-spindle diamond honing to a mirror finish, button rifling with carbide buttons held to less than .0002″ groove diameter deviation, and high-temperature stress relieving. The result is accuracy that rivals hand-lapped custom barrels at production-grade prices. This rifle’s No. 6 taper barrel carries that same uncompromising standard, which is why Bergara backs every rifle with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee.

The B-14 Action: Purpose-Built for Precision and Reliability

The Bergara B-14 action sits on a Remington 700 footprint—the largest aftermarket ecosystem in bolt-action history. The design incorporates a two-lug system with a coned bolt nose and breech for smooth, reliable feeding, a stronger bolt stop than the original Remington 700, and a threaded oversized bolt knob as standard. This means your rifle accepts every Remington 700 pattern stock, chassis, trigger, and scope mount ever made—future-proofing your investment in the most mature platform in precision shooting.

The Adjustable Bergara Performance Trigger

The factory-installed Bergara Performance Trigger breaks at approximately 3 to 3.5 lbs and is fully adjustable from 2 to 4 lbs with nothing more than an Allen key. Reviewers consistently describe it as crisp and on par with most upgraded aftermarket triggers—meaning you don’t need to immediately replace it. The adjustable design lets you dial in the break weight to your preference and shooting discipline without a gunsmith visit.

HMR Stock: Hunting Ergonomics with Competition Bedding

The Bergara HMR molded stock integrates an aluminum mini-chassis that provides the same precision bedding you’d find in a dedicated competition chassis. The stock features an adjustable cheekpiece (no tools required), length-of-pull spacers for a custom fit, QD flush-cup sling mounts, and a flat bottom forend designed to work with sandbags and competition bipods. The nearly vertical pistol grip gives you a natural point of aim whether you’re hunting or shooting supported positions at the range.

Left-Hand Advantage

This model features a fully mirrored bolt and stock, not a converted right-hand rifle. The bolt knob is positioned for left-hand operation, and the stock is properly mirrored—giving you the same ergonomic precision and shooting comfort as right-handed shooters enjoy. Left-handed shooters often find themselves forced to compromise; this isn’t a compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the .308 Winchester the right caliber for my use?

The .308 Win is a versatile choice for medium to large game hunting, target shooting out to 800+ yards, and PRS competition. It’s NATO standard, affordable to shoot, and ballistically proven across decades of military and civilian use. If you’re hunting whitetail or mule deer, or competing in PRS Production, .308 is a natural choice. If you’re planning long-range hunting beyond 1,000 yards or heavier magnum work, consider the B-14 HMR in 6.5 Creedmoor or 300 PRC.

Can I use this rifle in PRS Production class competitions?

Yes. The B-14 HMR meets PRS Production class specifications and is regularly seen at matches. The integrated chassis bedding, adjustable trigger, and sub-MOA accuracy give you a competitive platform right out of the box. You’ll need to verify current PRS rulebook requirements regarding stock configuration and magazine capacity, but the HMR is purpose-built for this class.

What magazines are compatible, and where do I find them?

The HMR accepts all AICS-pattern detachable magazines. You can use standard AICS magazines, Magpul AICS mags (widely available), or MDT magazines. The .308 Win model ships with a 5-round standard AICS magazine. AICS magazines are stocked by most major retailers and online sellers, giving you flexibility and competitive pricing.

Can I adjust the trigger myself, or do I need a gunsmith?

You can adjust the Bergara Performance Trigger yourself with an Allen key. Factory pull is approximately 3 to 3.5 lbs, and you can adjust it anywhere from 2 to 4 lbs. There are no special tools or gunsmith skills required—just access to a basic Allen wrench and about five minutes.

What’s the real-world accuracy of this rifle?

Bergara backs every rifle with a sub-MOA guarantee—meaning it will print groups under 1 inch at 100 yards with quality factory ammunition. Real-world results depend on the ammunition, your shooting technique, and the conditions, but sub-MOA is your baseline expectation. Many shooters report groups well under MOA with good ammunition and careful shooting.

Is the 20-inch barrel long enough for hunting?

Yes. A 20-inch barrel in .308 Win retains excellent velocity and trajectory for hunting out to 400+ yards, which covers the vast majority of hunting scenarios. The shorter barrel also makes the rifle easier to handle in brush and vehicles, and reduces overall length compared to 24-inch versions. If you’re planning 800+ yard shots, a longer barrel offers marginal velocity gains, but for hunting and general marksmanship, 20 inches is practical and effective.

Why does the B-14 use a Remington 700 footprint?

The Remington 700 footprint is the most widely supported bolt-action platform in the world. By building on this standard, Bergara ensures your rifle is compatible with thousands of aftermarket stocks, chassis systems, triggers, scope mounts, and accessories—present and future. This choice gives you unmatched flexibility and options as your shooting evolves.
