Bergara B-14 Wilderness Series Ridge Rifle, Bolt Action Rifle, 6.5 PRC, 24″ Barrel, Cerakote Finish, Gray

Product Description

The Bergara B-14 Wilderness Sierra in 6.5 PRC is a precision hunting rifle built for backcountry hunters who refuse to compromise on accuracy or versatility. This 24-inch fluted barrel package pairs the legendary B-14 action with an adjustable-comb sporter stock and M5 bottom metal — giving you sub-MOA accuracy, perfect optic alignment, and the flexibility to run either AICS detachable magazines or a traditional hinged floor plate. At 7.4–7.7 lbs, it’s built to go the distance.

Specifications

What Makes the B-14 Wilderness Sierra Different

• Adjustable Comb Without Gunsmithing: Simply use an Allen key to dial in cheek weld height for your specific optic setup. No new stock required, no trips to the bench. This single feature eliminates the guess-and-check phase that plagues hunters with off-the-shelf rifles.
• Fluted Barrel for Field Weight and Heat Management: The fluted No. 5 taper barrel sheds unnecessary weight compared to a traditional Ridge profile while improving heat dissipation during extended shooting. Every ounce matters on a backcountry hunt, and this design delivers accuracy without the bulk.
• M5 Bottom Metal Bridges Two Worlds: Run AICS detachable magazines for speed reloads and flexibility, or swap to the hinged floor plate for traditional hunting simplicity. Field interchangeable — no tools required. This is the only B-14 hunting rifle that gives you both options.
• Remington 700 Aftermarket Ecosystem: The B-14 action uses Remington 700 footprint. That means decades of proven stocks, chassis, triggers, bases, and tactical components are all drop-in compatible. Your upgrade path is unlimited.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara manufactures barrels in the Basque region of Spain, where gunmaking heritage runs centuries deep. Every Bergara barrel goes through a rigorous 5-step process: 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. This meticulous approach produces barrels that shoot like hand-lapped customs, but at production prices. The B-14 Wilderness Sierra’s fluted 24-inch barrel is no exception — it’s built to deliver the accuracy you see in the spec sheet, consistently, in field conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Choose 6.5 PRC Over 6.5 Creedmoor?

The 6.5 PRC was designed to push higher velocities and flatter trajectories than the Creedmoor from standard-length actions. In a 24-inch barrel, you’re looking at roughly 100–150 fps more velocity, which translates to better energy retention at distance and less wind drift. It’s the modern standard for serious long-range hunting without magnum recoil. Factory ammo is widely available, and the cartridge is proven from 500 to 1,000+ yards.

Can I Use the Adjustable Comb with Any Scope Height?

Yes. The adjustable comb accepts 1/4-inch LOP spacers and moves vertically via simple Allen key adjustment. Most hunters find their perfect cheek weld height within a few turns. If you run a low-mounted scope, you’ll adjust the comb down; high rings mean you adjust up. This flexibility eliminates the need to buy multiple stocks just to match different optic setups.

What’s the Difference Between AICS and Hinged Floor Plate Shooting?

AICS magazines allow fast reloads and let you carry rounds ready-to-go. The hinged floor plate offers traditional single-feed reliability and requires you to top-load the magazine. The M5 bottom metal accepts both — pull out the detachable AICS magazine insert and install the hinged plate in minutes, no gunsmith required. Many hunters carry detachable mags for backcountry hunts but prefer the simplicity of a hinged floor plate at camp or on a long stalk.

The B-14 Action: Proven Accuracy Foundation

The Bergara B-14 action is built on Remington 700 footprint but improves on the original design. It features a two-lug bolt system with a coned bolt nose and breech face for smooth, reliable feeding. The bolt stop is stronger than the classic Remington 700 design, and every rifle ships with a threaded oversized bolt knob — no tools needed to swap in a tactical knob if you choose. This action has proven itself in competition, hunting, and military settings, and it’s the bedrock of why this rifle prints sub-MOA groups straight out of the box.

Sniper Grey Cerakote for Backcountry Durability

The barrel, muzzle brake, and stock are finished in Sniper Grey Cerakote — a weatherproof ceramic coating that resists corrosion, fouling, and the rigors of field use. The Bergara Omni Muzzle Brake is included, threaded 5/8×24. Sniper Grey blends durability with a tactical aesthetic that doesn’t scream “safe queen.” This is a working rifle designed to go hunting, not just to look good on the shelf.
