Specifications

What Makes the B14R 22LR TR Different

• Centerfire Ergonomics in Rimfire Form: Identical dimensions and feel to the centerfire HMR—train with the exact rifle you’ll shoot in competition, eliminating transition learning curves between disciplines.
• Match Chamber Standard: Bergara’s match-spec chamber delivers best-in-class .22 LR accuracy, ensuring every shot counts in NRL22 and PRS .22 events.
• AICS Magazine Ecosystem: AICS-pattern 10-round magazine fits standard competition mag pouches, making reloads and stage transitions seamless in match scenarios.
• Remington 700 Footprint: Full compatibility with decades of aftermarket stocks, chassis, mounts, and triggers—the B-14 action unlocks the largest bolt-action ecosystem ever built.
• Left-Handed Configuration: One of the few precision rimfire rifles with dedicated left-hand construction, not a mirror of a right-hand design. Mirrored bolt and stock mean you get a true southpaw experience.
• CURE Carbon Barrel Technology: Weight savings without sacrificing rigidity—a lighter rifle that still delivers the harmonics consistency Bergara barrels are known for.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara isn’t just a brand—it’s a town in Spain’s Basque region, where barrel-making spans centuries. Every Bergara barrel undergoes a five-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 hand-lapped accuracy at production prices. Your B14R’s CURE Carbon barrel carries that same pedigree, engineered to shoot like a custom without the custom price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the left-hand version a true southpaw, or just a mirrored right-hand design?

This is a true left-hand build. The bolt is mirrored, the stock is mirrored, and the entire rifle is built for left-hand shooters from the ground up—not a right-hand rifle flipped. You get the same ergonomic advantages a right-handed shooter enjoys with a standard B14R.

Will this .22 LR rifle really help me train for centerfire competition?

Yes. The B14R shares the exact ergonomics, dimensions, trigger feel, and magazine interface as the centerfire HMR. Your muscle memory, trigger control, and manual of arms transfer directly. NRL22 and PRS .22 competitors use rimfire rifles like this to maintain trigger skill and reduce ammo costs between centerfire matches. The sub-MOA accuracy guarantee means you’re training with a rifle as precise as most centerfire systems at a fraction of the ammunition cost.

Can I use standard Remington 700 stocks and chassis with this rifle?

Absolutely. The B-14 action is built on the Remington 700 footprint, so it accepts all R700-pattern stocks, chassis, mounts, and triggers. You can swap the HMR stock for a KRG Bravo, MDT ESS, or any other R700-compatible chassis. This opens up unlimited customization without aftermarket compatibility worries.

What’s the difference between the CURE Carbon and standard steel barrel?

CURE Carbon saves weight—critical for handheld matches—while maintaining Bergara’s barrel rigidity and accuracy. The match chamber is identical on both. Choose CURE Carbon if you’re running long matches or prefer a lighter rifle; choose steel if maximum heat dissipation matters for your specific shooting scenario.

Does the Bergara Performance Trigger live up to premium aftermarket triggers?

Reviewers consistently call it crisp and comparable to most upgraded triggers in the $100+ range. At 2–4 lbs adjustability with factory settings around 3–3.5 lbs, it breaks clean and predictably. You can tune it yourself with an Allen key—no gunsmith required. For competition, it’s ready to go out of the box.

What ammunition should I use to validate that sub-MOA guarantee?

Use quality match-grade .22 LR—CCI Standard Velocity, SK Rifle Match, or Lapua Ammunition are benchmarks. The match chamber is optimized for consistent velocity and shot-to-shot precision. Standard bulk ammo may not group as tightly, but quality factory loads will deliver the sub-MOA performance Bergara guarantees.
