Specifications

What Makes the B-14 Ridge Different

• Widest caliber selection in the B-14 lineup. The Ridge is Bergara’s most versatile hunting rifle—available from .223 Rem through 300 PRC, including hard-hitting options like 450 Bushmaster and 7 PRC. You choose the cartridge that fits your hunt.
• Classic American sporter ergonomics. No chassis learning curve, no tactical furniture. The Ridge feels like the hunting rifles you’ve carried for years, with the accuracy and reliability of a modern precision platform.
• Remington 700 footprint unlocks unlimited aftermarket. The B-14 action accepts every R700-pattern stock, chassis, trigger, and scope mount ever made. Your rifle grows with your needs and budget.
• Internal hinged floor plate keeps your field profile clean. No protruding magazine catch, no snag risk in brush. Reload in the field with the same rifle you carried to the stand.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Every Bergara barrel starts in Spain, where five generations of gunmaking tradition meet modern precision. Bergara’s 5-step process—straightening, deep-hole drilling, three-spindle diamond honing to a mirror finish, button rifling with carbide buttons held to less than .0002″ groove deviation, and high-temperature stress relieving—produces barrels that shoot like hand-lapped customs at production prices. That’s why your Ridge comes with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee straight from the box. The barrel on your 450 Bushmaster is a fully free-floated 4140 Chrome-Moly No. 5 taper, finished in Graphite Black Cerakote for durability in the field.

The 450 Bushmaster Advantage

The 450 Bushmaster is a short-range power tool—ideal for thick cover, lever-action-country hunting, or anyone who wants to maximize energy transfer at distances under 150 yards. It fires a .452″ diameter, heavy-for-caliber bullet with substantial frontal area and excellent terminal performance on game. In a 20″ barrel, 450 BM delivers velocity and accuracy that traditional shotgun slugs or muzzleloaders cannot match, with a much flatter trajectory. If your hunting happens in dense woods where follow-up shots matter and shots stay close, 450 Bushmaster is a serious contender.

Performance Trigger You Can Adjust

The Bergara Performance Trigger ships factory-set around 3 to 3.5 pounds—clean, predictable, and on par with most aftermarket upgrades. If you prefer it lighter or slightly heavier, you adjust it yourself via Allen key; no gunsmith required. The range is 2 to 4 pounds, giving you full control over your let-off without breaking the rifle open or voiding warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 450 Bushmaster right for my hunting?

450 Bushmaster shines in short-to-medium range hunting—typically under 150 yards—where you’re hunting thick cover or dense timber. It’s popular for whitetail in brush country, feral hog, and black bear where energy and frontal area matter more than flat trajectory. If your typical shot is over 200 yards in open country, consider a flatter-shooting caliber like 308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, or 300 PRC available in the Ridge lineup.

Can I use Remington 700 stocks and aftermarket triggers on this rifle?

Yes. The B-14 action is built on a Remington 700 footprint with the same bolt-face dimensions and receiver rail pattern. You can drop a 450 BM-chambered B-14 barrel and bolt into any R700-pattern stock or chassis. This is one of the biggest advantages of the B-14—you’re not locked into Bergara accessories.

What’s the difference between the B-14 Ridge and other B-14 models?

The Ridge is the classic American sporter with the widest caliber selection—it’s the “do-it-all” hunting rifle. The B-14 Terrain is lightweight and mountain-focused. The B-14 HMR (Heavy Magnum Rifle) handles the biggest magnums. The B-14 BPR (Bergara Precision Rifle) is a modular, chassis-based tactical platform. All share Bergara’s barrel quality and sub-MOA guarantee; the Ridge is simply the most versatile for traditional hunting across multiple game and terrain types.

Does the 20″ barrel affect velocity in 450 Bushmaster?

450 Bushmaster is a short-to-medium range cartridge, and the 20″ barrel is the standard spec for the Ridge in this caliber. You’ll see good velocity and accuracy at typical hunting ranges (under 150 yards). If you want a more compact rifle, Bergara offers 18″ Special Purpose configurations in select Ridge calibers—call us to discuss availability for your intended use.

Is the synthetic stock durable in the field?

Absolutely. The Ridge stock is glass-fiber reinforced polymer, Graphite Black Cerakote finish—it’s weather-resistant, lightweight, and built to handle years of hard hunting. It won’t swell, rot, or warp like wood, and the synthetic material absorbs less moisture. The rifle ships at 7.2–7.7 lbs, making it comfortable to carry all day without sacrificing rigidity or accuracy.

What kind of groups can I expect?

Bergara backs every Ridge with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee—meaning your rifle will print groups under 1 inch at 100 yards with quality factory ammunition, straight from the box. In 450 Bushmaster, realistic hunting ammunition (Federal, Hornady, etc.) typically delivers 0.75–1.25 MOA groups, sometimes tighter depending on your load and shooting technique. If you handload, accuracy often improves further. We recommend shooting a few rounds to zero and confirm your own results before hunting.
