Bergara Premier Series, Crest, 22″ Barrel, Cerakote Finish, Sniper Gray, 5 Rounds, Right Hand

Product Description

The Bergara B-14 Squared Crest in 7mm PRC is purpose-built for mountain hunters who refuse to compromise. This is a rifle that weighs under 7 pounds fully configured, delivers sub-MOA accuracy from the box, and uses aerospace-grade carbon fiber construction to shed weight without sacrificing field durability or precision. The 7mm PRC cartridge delivers flat trajectory and retained energy at distance—ideal for elk and mule deer hunters working high country where every ounce matters and shots stretch beyond 300 yards.

Specifications

What Makes the B-14 Squared Crest Different

• Aerospace-Grade Carbon Fiber Stock: CF-RTM (Carbon Fiber Resin Transfer Molding) is the same manufacturing process used in high-performance automotive and aerospace applications. The result is a stock with exceptional rigidity, superior heat dissipation, and minimal weight penalty compared to traditional composite stocks.
• Fluted Barrel Reduces Weight and Improves Heat Management: The 4140 Chrome-Moly barrel is both fluted and threaded 5/8×24, shaving ounces while maintaining the barrel’s structural integrity and allowing you to swap muzzle devices in the field.
• M5 Bottom Metal Runs Any AICS Magazine: The M5 system accepts Magpul PMag, MDT, and other standard AICS detachable magazines—whether you’re hunting elk one week or competing in a match the next, your magazine ecosystem is compatible and affordable.
• Sub-MOA Accuracy from the Factory: Every B-14 Squared Crest is backed by Bergara’s sub-MOA guarantee. Straight from the box, this rifle will group under 1 inch at 100 yards with quality factory ammunition—no barrel break-in, no tuning required.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara isn’t just a rifle brand—it’s a town in Spain’s Basque region with centuries of gunmaking heritage. Bergara manufactures precision barrels for some of the world’s most respected firearms makers, and their five-step barrel process is legendary in precision circles. Each barrel is straightened, deep-hole drilled, diamond honed to a mirror finish on three spindles, button-rifled with carbide buttons held to less than .0002″ groove diameter deviation, and stress-relieved at high temperature to lock in dimensional stability. This process produces barrels that shoot like hand-lapped customs—at production rifle prices. The B-14 Squared Crest barrels are finished in Sniper Grey Cerakote for corrosion resistance in any weather.

The 7mm PRC: Power and Precision for Long-Range Mountain Hunting

The 7mm PRC is a modern, purpose-built magnum cartridge that splits the difference between the 6.5 PRC and the .300 PRC. It delivers a 140-grain bullet at velocities that produce exceptional energy retention at distance, making it a true 400+ yard elk and mule deer round without excessive recoil or muzzle rise. In a 22-inch barrel, the 7mm PRC is fast enough for high-altitude hunts where wind matters and flat enough to simplify ranging. If you hunt big country and want precision with authority, the 7mm PRC in the Crest is a match made in the mountains.

The B-14 Action: Maximum Aftermarket Flexibility

The B-14 Squared action is built on a Remington 700 footprint, the largest aftermarket ecosystem in bolt-action rifle history. This means you can upgrade triggers, stocks, chassis, scope mounts, and bottom metal from dozens of respected manufacturers without modification. The action itself features 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 standard. Your investment in this platform will hold value and flexibility for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions

What velocity will the 22-inch barrel produce in 7mm PRC?

The 22-inch barrel will drive a 140-grain factory load to approximately 2,900–2,950 fps, depending on powder, primer, and atmospheric conditions. This is slightly slower than a 24-inch barrel but still delivers excellent downrange energy and trajectory for mountain hunting out to 400+ yards. If you need maximum velocity, consider a 24-inch barreled option; the 22-inch Crest prioritizes weight savings and handiness in broken terrain.

How much does the carbon fiber stock reduce weight compared to a composite or aluminum chassis?

The 100% CF-RTM carbon fiber stock in the Crest brings the rifle to 6.8–7.2 lbs fully assembled with the Omni Muzzle Brake. A comparable aluminum chassis rifle (such as an MDT or Manners stainless steel barreled rifle) will run 8.5–9.5 lbs. The carbon fiber saves roughly 1.5–2 lbs while improving rigidity and heat dissipation—a critical advantage when you’re glassing for elk at 10,000 feet.

Is the Bergara Omni Muzzle Brake removable, and can I use a suppressor instead?

Yes. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24 and the Omni Muzzle Brake is removable. You can swap on a suppressor, flash hider, or different brake as needed. The threaded barrel gives you complete control over your muzzle device ecosystem and allows field adjustments without a gunsmith.

What is the difference between the M5 magazine system and standard AICS?

M5 is Bergara’s designation for AICS-compatible bottom metal designed specifically for larger magnum cartridges. Standard capacity for the 7mm PRC is 5 rounds. The M5 system accepts Magpul PMAG mags, MDT mags, and most aftermarket AICS-pattern magazines, giving you affordable, field-proven magazine options from companies you trust.

Can I adjust the Bergara Performance Trigger myself?

Yes. The Bergara Performance Trigger is adjustable from 2 to 4 lbs pull weight using only an Allen key—no gunsmith required. It comes factory-set to 3–3.5 lbs, which is crisp and reliable for hunting. If you prefer a lighter trigger for precision work, you can dial it down; if you want more safety margin in harsh conditions, you can increase it. This level of user adjustability is usually found on high-end aftermarket triggers costing $200+.

Does the Crest come with the Omni Muzzle Brake pre-installed?

Yes. The Bergara Omni Muzzle Brake comes installed and ready to go. It’s designed to manage recoil effectively on 7mm PRC and other magnum cartridges without excessive side blast. If you prefer a different muzzle device, the brake is easily removed via the 5/8×24 threading.

What is the sub-MOA accuracy guarantee?

Bergara backs every B-14 Squared Crest with a factory guarantee that the rifle will print groups under 1 inch at 100 yards using quality factory ammunition. This is tested and validated before the rifle ships. It’s not a marketing claim—it’s a promise backed by Bergara’s 5-step barrel manufacturing heritage and rigorous quality control.
