Bergara B-14 Series Cima CF, Bolt Action Rifle, 22 Creedmoor, 20″ Carbon Fiber Threaded Barrel, Black

Product Description

The Bergara B-14 Squared Cima in 22 Creedmoor is the lightest B-14 ever built—tipping the scales at just 5.8 lbs with zero compromise on accuracy or durability. This is a sporter-profile mountain rifle engineered for hunters and long-range shooters who refuse to sacrifice performance for weight. With a CURE Carbon barrel, aerospace-grade carbon fiber stock, and Bergara’s sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, the Cima delivers the ballistics and precision of rifles costing two to three times more.

Specifications

What Makes the B-14 Squared Cima Different

• CURE Carbon barrel eliminates the heat-accuracy tradeoff. Unlike standard carbon barrels, Bergara’s CURE process embeds stainless steel strands throughout the carbon matrix, maintaining zero shift as the barrel heats during strings of fire. You get the weight savings of carbon without sacrificing repeatability.
• SMC carbon mini-chassis inside the stock saves weight where it matters. The Cima uses aerospace-grade carbon composite, not aluminum, for the interior chassis. This shaves critical ounces while maintaining rigidity—making the Cima the lightest B-14 Bergara has ever produced.
• Remington 700 footprint unlocks the largest aftermarket ecosystem in bolt-action history. The B-14 action accepts any Remington 700 compatible stock, chassis, trigger, or scope mount. You’re not locked into proprietary parts; you own a rifle that can evolve with your needs.
• Sporter profile carries like a hunting rifle, not a competition chassis. The Cima’s silhouette and balance feel natural in your hands during a pack into the mountains. This is not a competition gun pretending to hunt; it’s a hunting rifle engineered to shoot like a competition gun.
• M5 bottom metal converts between floor plate and AICS detachable magazines. You can run the hinged floor plate for classic simplicity or convert to detachable AICS mags for faster reloads and magazine swaps—no permanent commitment.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara has manufactured precision barrels for some of the world’s most demanding firearms manufacturers for decades, building a global reputation on consistency and accuracy. Every Bergara barrel undergoes a rigorous five-step process: straightening to eliminate runout, deep-hole drilling for uniformity, 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 to lock in accuracy. This heritage Spanish manufacturing, combined with assembly by former USMC Precision Weapons Section alumni in Georgia, produces sub-MOA rifles that rival hand-lapped customs at production prices.

22 Creedmoor: The Modern Cartridge for Long-Range Hunters

The 22 Creedmoor delivers the flat trajectory and wind-bucking performance of 6mm and 6.5mm cartridges in a smaller package. With a 20″ barrel, you’ll see velocities around 3,350 fps with 88-grain match-grade ammunition—plenty of energy for clean kills at 500+ yards while recoil stays manageable for follow-up shots and extended shooting sessions. The 22 Creedmoor is also becoming a favored cartridge in precision rifle competitions and long-range hunting circles, ensuring ammunition and brass availability remain solid for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the CURE Carbon barrel in the Cima compare to standard carbon barrels?

Standard carbon barrels save weight but sometimes exhibit zero shift as the barrel heats—the carbon and steel expand at different rates. Bergara’s CURE process embeds stainless steel strands throughout the carbon matrix, so the barrel expands more uniformly. The result: you get the weight savings of carbon without sacrificing shot-to-shot consistency during rapid fire or extended strings. This makes the Cima genuinely suitable for both hunting and competition use.

Is the 22 Creedmoor a practical choice for hunting and long-range shooting, or is it a niche cartridge?

The 22 Creedmoor is no longer niche—it’s a proven long-range hunting and competition cartridge with growing support from ammunition manufacturers. From a 20″ barrel, expect around 3,350 fps with 88-grain bullets, which delivers clean kills past 500 yards and flat enough trajectories for 1,000+ yard steel. Recoil is mild compared to 6.5 Creedmoor, making it excellent for shooters who want to extend their effective range without punishing recoil. Ammunition is widely available from match-grade manufacturers like Hornady, Federal, and handloading components are plentiful.

Can I use standard Remington 700 stocks or chassis on the Cima, and what if I want to swap to detachable magazines?

Yes. The B-14 action is built on a Remington 700 footprint, so any Rem 700-compatible stock, chassis, or scope mount will work. The Cima ships with an M5 hinged floor plate; you can convert it to AICS detachable magazines with a simple swap of the bottom metal—no gunsmithing needed. This flexibility means your rifle can evolve from a lightweight mountain hunter to a tactical precision platform without buying a new action.

What is the trigger pull like on the Bergara Performance Trigger, and can I adjust it myself?

The Bergara Performance Trigger ships factory-set around 3 to 3.5 lbs and is widely praised for its crispness and consistency—reviewers regularly compare it favorably to upgraded aftermarket triggers costing $200+. You can adjust it from 2 to 4 lbs using nothing but an Allen key, with no gunsmith required. Most shooters find the factory setting ideal for hunting and long-range work, but the adjustability means you can tune it to your preference in minutes.

Does the Cima come with the Omni Muzzle Brake, and can I replace it with a suppressor?

Yes, the Cima ships with the Bergara Omni Muzzle Brake threaded at 5/8×24. The brake is excellent for reducing recoil and managing muzzle rise during rapid strings. The barrel is also suppressor-ready—you can unthread the brake and install a suppressor-compatible muzzle device or direct-thread suppressor with standard 5/8×24 adapters. Many shooters eventually move to a suppressor for hearing protection and reduced report, and the B-14 platform supports that transition seamlessly.

What does the sub-MOA accuracy guarantee mean, and how is it tested?

Bergara backs every rifle with a guarantee that it will print groups under 1 inch at 100 yards with quality factory ammunition straight from the box. This is real-world accuracy, not marketing hype—your Cima does not need break-in, lapping, or hand-loading to perform. Bergara validates this during final inspection before shipment. If your rifle does not meet this standard with quality factory ammunition, Bergara will address it. This guarantee reflects decades of manufacturing discipline and represents one of the industry’s strongest accuracy commitments.
