Bergara B-14 Series Hunter, Bolt Action Rifle, 22″ Barrel, Cerakote Finish, Black, 3 Rounds, Right Hand

Product Description

The Bergara B-14 Hunter in 7mm PRC is purpose-built for the hunter who values packability without compromise. At under 7.3 lbs, this is the lightest centerfire B-14 in the lineup—light enough to carry all day on a mountain hunt, yet accurate enough to deliver clean kills at distance. The No. 4 taper barrel keeps weight minimal while the sub-MOA accuracy guarantee means your rifle will shoot, straight from the box, with the precision you need when the moment counts.

Specifications

Why the 7mm PRC Matters

The 7mm PRC is a modern magnum designed for hunters and long-range shooters who demand velocity, energy, and a flat trajectory without the recoil signature of older magnum designs. Compared to the 7mm Remington Magnum, the PRC delivers more consistent velocities, superior case capacity for modern powders, and inherently better accuracy in modern rifles. In the B-14 Hunter’s 22-inch barrel, you’ll see 7mm PRC velocities in the 2,850–2,950 fps range with premium factory loads—enough energy to ethically take elk and mule deer well beyond 400 yards, with a trajectory that requires minimal holdover adjustment in typical hunting scenarios.

What Makes the B-14 Hunter Different

• Lightest centerfire B-14 available — under 7.3 lbs total weight without sacrificing the accuracy or ergonomics that matter in the field. You’ll feel the difference on mile three of a high-country hike.
• No. 4 taper barrel — a deliberate design choice that reduces weight where it matters most (forward of the receiver) while preserving the barrel harmonics and free-float characteristics Bergara is known for. You do not lose accuracy; you gain packability.
• Sub-MOA guarantee on an affordable platform — Bergara stands behind every rifle with a one-inch accuracy guarantee at 100 yards using quality factory ammunition. For a rifle priced competitively in the hunting segment, that’s a promise most precision-rifle companies reserve for $2,500+ models.
• Remington 700 footprint — the largest and most mature aftermarket ecosystem in bolt-action history. Want to drop this action into a modern chassis? Swap to a different stock? Upgrade the trigger or scope mount? Forty years of third-party innovation is available to you. The B-14 action itself improves on the 700 design with a two-lug system, coned bolt nose and breech for smoother feeding, and a stronger bolt stop than the original Remington design.
• User-adjustable trigger out of the box — the Bergara Performance Trigger arrives at 3–3.5 lbs and can be tuned anywhere between 2 and 4 lbs using nothing more than an Allen key. No gunsmith required, no guesswork. Shooters consistently describe it as crisp and comparable to triggers costing twice the price.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara manufactures barrels in the Basque region of northern Spain, a region with centuries of gunmaking heritage. Every barrel undergoes a rigorous five-step process: precision straightening for concentricity, deep-hole drilling under flood coolant, three-spindle diamond honing to a mirror finish that ensures concentricity at the bore, carbide button rifling with groove diameter tolerances held to less than .0002 inch, and high-temperature stress relieving to stabilize the steel and eliminate shot-shift from cooling. The result is production-grade accuracy that rivals hand-lapped custom barrels. This process, combined with the B-14 Hunter’s fully free-floated design, is why Bergara can guarantee sub-MOA performance out of the box.

The B-14 Action Advantage

Built on the Remington 700 footprint, the B-14 action improves on the proven design with a modern two-lug system, a coned bolt nose and breech for reliable and smooth feeding, and a stronger, more robust bolt stop. The oversized threaded bolt knob is standard—a feature that allows for lighter, more ergonomic aftermarket knobs or extended handles for gloved hands. If you ever want to swap stocks, install a modern chassis, upgrade the trigger, or add a tactical scope mount, you have access to decades of aftermarket innovation. No other action in the bolt-action world has that advantage.

Hunting with the B-14 Hunter in 7mm PRC

The 7mm PRC is a credible, ethical choice for elk, mule deer, and antelope across North America. With a 22-inch barrel, you are trading slightly lower velocity than a 24-inch magnum would deliver in exchange for a rifle that fits into a packable, lightweight platform. For hunters who glance at a GPS and know the walk will be steep and long, that trade is worth it. The trajectory of the 7mm PRC is flat enough for hunting in the 400-yard effective range without major adjustments, and the energy delivery is more than sufficient for clean, ethical harvests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 7mm PRC the right choice for my hunting situation?

The 7mm PRC excels for hunters pursuing elk, mule deer, and antelope across open to moderately wooded terrain. It delivers excellent velocity, energy, and trajectory in modern rifles. If you hunt dense brush or thick timber at short range, a smaller caliber like 308 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor may be more practical. If you hunt at extreme elevation or often exceed 400 yards, the 7mm PRC will reward accurate shooting. Talk through your specific terrain and game with us—caliber selection is personal, and there is no universal answer.

Why does the B-14 Hunter weigh less than other B-14 models?

The No. 4 taper barrel is intentionally lighter in profile than the No. 5 or No. 6 tapers Bergara uses in other B-14 configurations. That taper is engineered to preserve accuracy at hunting distances—typically under 500 yards—while shedding weight that you would carry miles to reach your hunting area. If you intend to shoot distance competitions or regularly engage targets beyond 1,000 yards, a heavier-barreled B-14 Ridge or B-14 HM Tactical may be more appropriate. For the hunter, this rifle hits the sweet spot.

Can I use aftermarket stocks and accessories with the B-14 Hunter?

Yes. The B-14 action is built on the Remington 700 footprint, which means it will accept virtually any modern stock, chassis, scope mount, or trigger designed for the 700. This is one of the B-14’s greatest strengths—you have a vast ecosystem of upgrades and customization options available. The trigger is already excellent out of the box, but if you want to replace the stock with a magnesium chassis or an adjustable hunting stock, the B-14 will accommodate you.

Does the 22-inch barrel affect velocity or range?

A 22-inch barrel is slightly shorter than the 24 or 26-inch barrels common in magnum rifles. In the 7mm PRC, you will lose approximately 75–100 fps compared to a 24-inch rifle, depending on the load. That translates to a negligible difference in trajectory and energy within typical hunting ranges (under 500 yards). For longer-range work or competition shooting, a 24-inch barrel offers a small advantage in velocity and energy. For hunting, the 22-inch configuration is a sensible trade-off in favor of portability.

What is Bergara’s accuracy guarantee?

Bergara guarantees that every rifle, including the B-14 Hunter, will print groups of one inch or smaller at 100 yards using quality factory ammunition. This is measured from the center of the bullet holes and assumes a stable shooting platform (bench or rest) and ammunition loaded to factory specifications. If your rifle fails to meet this standard, Bergara will service or replace it. This guarantee is one of the strongest in the industry and reflects Bergara’s confidence in their barrel and action design.
