Bergara B-14 Wilderness Series Ridge Rifle, Bolt Action Rifle, 308 Winchester, 20″ Barrel, Cerakote Finish

Product Description

The Bergara B-14 Wilderness Sierra in .308 Win is a precision hunting rifle built for shooters who refuse to compromise on accuracy or field practicality. This isn’t a one-trick bench gun—it’s engineered for the hunter who wants sub-MOA performance, a perfect cheek weld every time, and the flexibility to run either traditional hinged magazines or modern detachable AICS magazines. The adjustable comb is the real game-changer: you dial in your ideal sight picture with an Allen key, no gunsmith, no new stock required.

Specifications

What Makes the B-14 Wilderness Sierra Different

• Adjustable Comb: Allen-key height adjustment built into the stock means perfect eye-to-scope alignment for your unique anatomy and optic height—no aftermarket spacers, no custom stocks.
• Fluted Barrel: The No. 5 fluted profile sheds weight compared to the standard Ridge barrel and improves heat dissipation during back-to-back shots in the field.
• M5 Dual-Feed Bottom Metal: Switch between AICS detachable magazines and a hinged floor plate without tools. Run it traditional for a hunt, modern for speed stages.
• Full Sniper Grey Finish: Bergara’s proprietary Cerakote covers the barrel, action, and stock for backcountry durability and a cohesive, professional appearance.
• B-14 Action Ecosystem: Built on a Remington 700 footprint—the largest aftermarket ecosystem in bolt-action history. Drop into any R700 stock, chassis, or trigger assembly.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Every Bergara barrel starts with rigorous straightening and deep-hole drilling, followed by three-spindle diamond honing to a mirror finish that lets light reflect like polished steel. Button rifling with carbide buttons—held to less than .0002″ groove diameter deviation—imprints precision into every inch of bore. Then comes high-temperature stress relieving to lock in zero and stability. This five-step process, perfected in Bergara’s Basque region facility over decades, delivers hand-lapped accuracy at production prices. The B-14 Wilderness Sierra’s fluted barrel combines that heritage with modern weight savings and heat management.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the adjustable comb move, and is it really necessary?

The comb adjusts up and down via a side-mounted Allen key. The range depends on the spacer pack installed, but think of it as 0.5 to 1 inch of total travel. It’s not “necessary” in the way a rifle won’t function without it—but if you’ve ever cheek-welded a rifle and had to crane your neck to see through your scope, or had a too-high sight picture, you’ll understand why Bergara included it. It’s the kind of feature that becomes indispensable once you use it.

Can I swap between AICS magazines and the hinged floor plate on the same rifle?

Yes. The M5 bottom metal accepts both. The hinged floor plate is the factory standard, but you can purchase an AICS magazine well conversion and swap it without gunsmithing—just remove the old plate and drop in the new one. This gives you real flexibility: hunt with the traditional floor plate and an internal magazine for simplicity, then switch to AICS mags if you want faster reloads or run this rifle in a precision match.

Is the Bergara Performance Trigger safe for hunting?

Absolutely. The trigger is adjustable from 2 to 4 pounds via Allen key, and Bergara factory-sets it around 3 to 3.5 pounds—a conservative, shootable weight that hunters and precision shooters alike trust. Reviewers consistently rate it crisp and on par with aftermarket upgrades that cost $200+. You can adjust it heavier if you prefer, or lighter if you’re running it in a tactical or competition role. Either way, it’s reliable and repeatable.

What’s the difference between the B-14 Wilderness Sierra and other B-14 hunting models?

The Wilderness Sierra is the only B-14 hunting rifle that combines the fluted barrel, adjustable comb, and M5 dual-feed bottom metal in one package. Other B-14 hunting models offer excellent value, but they don’t include the comb adjustment or the magazine flexibility. If you want a traditional hunting rifle that adapts to modern competition use and optic trends, the Sierra is the bridge.

Is the .308 Win the right caliber for my hunting?

.308 Win is one of the most versatile cartridges ever made. It’s ideal for deer, elk, and medium-sized game across North America. Recoil is moderate, ammo is readily available, and ballistics are well-understood. If you’re hunting inside 400 yards in typical terrain, .308 is hard to beat. That said, if your game and distance lean toward longer ranges, consider Bergara’s other B-14 Wilderness Sierra options in 6.5 Creedmoor or 6mm Creedmoor—flatter shooting, less wind drift, and still sub-MOA accurate out of the box.
