Product Description

Built on the proven B-14 Squared platform and finished in Sniper Grey Cerakote, this 20-inch rifle combines a proprietary CURE Carbon barrel with a 100% carbon fiber stock to deliver sub-MOA accuracy at just 6.0–6.5 lbs—making it the rifle of choice for mountain hunters and backcountry hunters who refuse to compromise on precision for pack weight.

Specifications

What Makes the Crest Carbon Different

• CURE Carbon Barrel: Bergara’s proprietary thermal-stable barrel design embeds stainless strands within a carbon weave matrix, solving the heat-consistency problem that plagues lighter carbon barrels. Shot-to-shot accuracy remains rock-solid even during rapid fire sequences.
• Ultralight Carbon Stock: The 100% CF-RTM carbon fiber stock with integrated carbon spine weighs under 18 oz, reducing total rifle weight to match purpose-built sheep and mountain rifles without sacrificing rigidity or zero shift.
• M5 Bottom Metal Flexibility: Switch between AICS detachable magazines for the range and a floor plate for the hunt—no gunsmithing required. Run competition-friendly high-capacity mags or field-proven single-feeds, all on the same rifle.
• B-14 Action Ecosystem: Built on the B-14 Squared action with a full Remington 700 footprint, your rifle gains access to decades of aftermarket triggers, stocks, chassis systems, and scope mounts. Upgrade without limitations.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara isn’t just a rifle brand—it’s a gunmaking town in Spain with centuries of precision metalworking heritage. Bergara’s 5-step barrel manufacturing process straightens steel to within .0005″, deep-hole drills, then diamond-hones to a mirror finish using three-spindle precision equipment. Button rifling with carbide buttons held to less than .0002″ groove diameter deviation ensures bore consistency, and high-temperature stress relieving releases residual metal stress that would otherwise shift zero under recoil. The result: barrels that shoot like hand-lapped customs, straight from the box, backed by sub-MOA guarantee on every rifle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 22 Creedmoor the right caliber for me?

22 Creedmoor is a flat-shooting, efficient round that splits the difference between 6.5 Creedmoor’s power and 6mm’s lower recoil. It’s ideal for long-range target work, competition, and hunting medium to large game at extended range. If you hunt at typical mountain distances (300–800 yards) and want a rifle that shoots flat with minimal recoil, 22 Creedmoor is an excellent choice. It also runs well in 20-inch barrels and maintains excellent velocity for its case capacity.

How does the CURE Carbon barrel differ from standard carbon barrels?

Standard carbon-wrapped barrels can exhibit thermal drift because the steel and carbon expand at different rates under heat. Bergara’s CURE Carbon embeds stainless steel strands throughout the carbon weave, creating a thermally stable structure that expands uniformly. This means your point of impact stays put during sustained or rapid fire—a critical advantage in competition and in the field when speed matters.

Can I use the same magazines on my other Remington 700 rifles?

Yes. The M5 AICS-style magazines are an industry standard. Your Crest Carbon accepts any AICS-pattern detachable magazine in 22 Creedmoor, and the M5 bottom metal lets you swap between detachable mags and a traditional floor plate without tools. If you already own Remington 700–pattern rifles or other B-14 rifles, your magazines are cross-compatible.

How much does trigger adjustment cost?

The Bergara Performance Trigger is fully adjustable from 2 to 4 lbs using nothing more than an Allen key—no gunsmith required. Pull weight adjustment is a five-minute job in your workshop. The factory sets the trigger around 3.0–3.5 lbs, which most shooters find crisp and reliable without modification.

Will this rifle work with my existing Remington 700 scope mount?

Absolutely. The B-14 Squared action uses a standard Remington 700 two-piece base pattern. All your existing Weaver and Picatinny mounts will fit without modification. You can also use any aftermarket chassis, trigger, or stock built to Remington 700 specs.
