Product Description

The Bergara B-14 HMR in .22-250 Rem is purpose-built for shooters who refuse to compromise between match-grade accuracy and field practicality.

Specifications

What Makes the B-14 HMR Different

• Integrated Aluminum Mini-Chassis: The stock houses a bedding system borrowed directly from dedicated competition chassis rifles. You get chassis-level accuracy and adjustability in a form factor that works equally well in a hunting pack or on a PRS stage.
• Adjustable Without Gunsmithing: Cheekpiece height and length of pull adjust with hand tools. No spacers to lose, no trips to a gunsmith—your rifle fits you exactly.
• No. 6 Barrel Taper: Heavier than standard sporter profiles, this 24″ barrel is optimized for the kinds of supported precision shooting where the HMR excels. It adds stability for bag rest and bipod shooting while remaining practical in the field.
• Full Aftermarket Ecosystem: Built on the Remington 700 footprint, the B-14 accepts every trigger, stock, chassis, and scope mount engineered for that pattern over the past two decades—freedom to customize without proprietary components.
• PRS Production-Ready: Hunters and competitors alike are running this rifle straight from the box in matches. It ships with a sub-MOA guarantee and doesn’t need a dime spent to perform.

The .22-250 Remington: A Varminter’s Dream Caliber

The .22-250 is often called the “ideal .22″—fast, flat, and devastating on fur and feather. With muzzle velocities approaching 3,900 fps from a 24” barrel, you’re getting minimal bullet drop to 300 yards, wind drift that’s easier to read than larger cartridges, and enough velocity to create explosive terminal performance on varmints, prairie dogs, and small game. Recoil is gentle enough for precision shooting fundamentals and fast follow-up shots. Ammunition is widely available, and handloading dies are affordable. If your hunting and shooting revolve around open-country pursuits where flat trajectory and accuracy matter, the .22-250 paired with the HMR’s precision platform is a natural fit.

Bergara’s Barrel Manufacturing Legacy

Bergara isn’t just an American brand distributed from a warehouse—it’s a company rooted in the Basque region of Spain, a place with centuries of gunmaking heritage. Bergara has manufactured precision barrels for some of the world’s most respected firearms companies for decades, earning a global reputation for consistency and accuracy that translates directly to every B-14 shipped.

Every Bergara barrel undergoes a rigorous five-step manufacturing process: precision straightening, deep-hole drilling for concentricity, three-spindle diamond honing to a mirror finish, button rifling using carbide buttons held to less than .0002″ groove diameter deviation, and high-temperature stress relieving to stabilize the steel. This process eliminates the guesswork and inconsistency that plague cheaper production barrels. The result is a barrel that shoots like a hand-lapped custom at production pricing—and backs it with a sub-MOA guarantee.

The B-14 Action: Proven, Practical, Upgradeable

The Bergara B-14 action is built on the Remington 700 footprint, the largest and most mature aftermarket ecosystem in bolt-action rifle history. This isn’t just compatibility for its own sake—it means scope rings, trigger upgrades, chassis systems, stocks, and gunsmith services are readily available, affordable, and proven by hundreds of thousands of shooters.

The B-14 itself improves on the classic Remington design with a two-lug system, a coned bolt nose and breech for smooth feeding, and a stronger bolt stop than the Remington 700. The threaded oversized bolt knob is standard, making it easy to operate with gloves or heavy clothing. When you hold this rifle, you’re holding the result of decades of Bergara’s barrel expertise combined with lessons learned from shooters worldwide.

Stock and Ergonomics Built for Precision and Hunting

The HMR stock integrates aluminum mini-chassis bedding technology—the same rigid support system you’d find in a $2,000 competition chassis—molded invisibly into a practical hunting stock. The flat bottom forend is shaped to work with bags and bipods, while the nearly vertical pistol grip promotes proper hand position whether you’re shooting prone on a range or offhand in the field.

The adjustable cheekpiece requires no tools. The length-of-pull spacers snap in and out to dial in your perfect fit. QD flush cup sling mounts are ready for a quality sling. This level of adjustability means you’re not buying a rifle that *almost* fits—you’re building a rifle that fits you precisely, and you’ll never outgrow it.

Trigger Tuning Without a Gunsmith

The Bergara Performance Trigger ships factory-set around 3 to 3.5 pounds—crisp, predictable, and on par with most upgraded aftermarket triggers that cost $300 alone. If you want it lighter or heavier, a simple Allen key adjustment lets you dial it from 2 to 4 pounds. No gunsmith required. Reviewers consistently praise this trigger for its cleanliness and let-off, and the adjustability means it grows with you as your shooting skill does.

Magazine System and Flexibility

The HMR ships with a 5-round AICS-pattern detachable magazine. That’s industry-standard capacity for .22-250, and AICS magazines are the aftermarket standard across precision rifle platforms. MDT, Magpul, and standard AICS magazines will all function reliably in this rifle, giving you magazine redundancy, options for different load configurations, and the ability to find replacement magazines anywhere quality firearms are sold.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the .22-250 a good choice for the B-14 HMR?

The .22-250 is a flat-shooting, low-recoil varmint cartridge that rewards precision shooting. It pairs perfectly with the HMR’s match-grade accuracy and stability. You get minimal bullet drop to 300 yards, explosive terminal performance on varmints and small game, and ammunition that’s widely available and affordable to reload. If you’re hunting open country or punching paper at distance, the .22-250 makes the HMR’s precision capabilities shine.

Can I use this rifle for hunting applications beyond varmints?

Absolutely. While the .22-250 is most renowned for varmint work, it’s perfectly suitable for hunting small to medium game like coyotes, prairie dogs, and foxes across open country where precision shooting and flat trajectory matter. The HMR’s ergonomics—adjustable cheekpiece, comfortable stock geometry, manageable recoil—make it practical for field use. Some hunters also use .22-250 for deer-sized game at closer ranges, though this is at the lower end of the cartridge’s typical application.

Will this rifle work in PRS Production matches?

Yes. The B-14 HMR is frequently seen in PRS Production competition—and winning—right out of the box. It ships with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, a crisp trigger you can tune with an Allen key, and magazine compatibility with the industry-standard AICS system. Many competitors run the HMR without any modifications because it already meets or exceeds Production class requirements for accuracy and reliability.

What scope mounting options does the B-14 accept?

The B-14 is built on the Remington 700 footprint, which accepts all modern tactical-style picatinny scope mounts, rings, and bases designed for that pattern. Picatinny rails, Weaver-pattern rings, and modern tactical mounts all work. You’ll have virtually unlimited options for glass and mounting systems.

Is the trigger adjustable, and do I need a gunsmith?

The Bergara Performance Trigger is adjustable from 2 to 4 pounds using only an Allen key—no gunsmith required. Factory-set around 3 to 3.5 pounds, it’s clean and crisp out of the box. You can dial it to your personal preference in minutes.

What is the accuracy guarantee?

Bergara backs every B-14 with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee: your rifle will print groups under 1 inch at 100 yards when fired from a rest with quality factory ammunition. This is Bergara’s confidence in their barrel manufacturing process, and it’s a promise backed by decades of precision barrel expertise.

Can I use this rifle left-handed?

This model is configured for right-hand shooters. Bergara does offer left-hand versions of the B-14 HMR in other calibers. Contact Western Sport at 817-393-4000 to discuss left-hand options or special orders.

What kind of bipod or bag support does the HMR stock accommodate?

The flat bottom forend is shaped to rest naturally on sandbags, rear bags, and bipods without rocking or shifting. The stock integrates aluminum mini-chassis bedding, which means it’s rigid enough to handle supported precision shooting without flexing or settling. Harris bipod mounts, folding bipods, and standard barricade techniques all work equally well.

Where is the B-14 HMR manufactured?

Barrels and actions are manufactured in Bergara, Spain. The Premier Series B-14 rifles are assembled in Lawrenceville, Georgia by a team that includes former USMC Precision Weapons Section alumni who have built precision rifles for Marines in combat and competition worldwide. This combination of Spanish barrel expertise and American precision assembly results in a rifle that punches well above its price point.
