Product Description

The Bergara B-14 Ridge in 6.5 PRC is a classic American hunting rifle built on a foundation of Spanish precision engineering. You get the traditional sporter ergonomics hunters have trusted for generations—a natural-pointing profile that mounts easily in conventional stocks and works with the widest aftermarket ecosystem in bolt-action rifles—paired with Bergara’s legendary accuracy and sub-MOA guarantee straight from the box. The 6.5 PRC delivers flat trajectory, devastating terminal performance, and minimal recoil for extended hunting days in the field or at the range.

Specifications

What Makes the B-14 Ridge Different

• Widest caliber selection in the B-14 lineup: From .223 Rem through 6.5 PRC, 7 PRC, 300 PRC, and 450 Bushmaster—the Ridge gives you more hunting options than any other model in the series.
• Traditional sporter profile with modern precision: Classic American hunting rifle ergonomics combined with Bergara’s world-class manufacturing heritage—no learning curve, no bullpup confusion, just point and shoot.
• Remington 700 footprint unlocks decades of aftermarket support: Triggers, stocks, chassis, scope mounts, gunsmith services—if it fits a 700, it fits your Ridge. This is the largest aftermarket ecosystem in bolt-action history.
• Internal box magazine with hinged floor plate: Clean, snag-free profile in brush and timber. Load one round or three without fumbling external mags or detachable boxes.
• Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee from the factory: Every rifle ships with Bergara’s promise—print groups under 1 inch at 100 yards with quality ammunition. No exceptions, no excuses.

The 6.5 PRC: Ballistics and Hunt Performance

The 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge is a modern magnum designed for hunters who demand accuracy at extended range without the recoil penalty of larger calibers. In your Ridge’s 24-inch barrel, the 6.5 PRC launches 147-grain match-grade projectiles at velocities that keep energy and wind drift manageable to 600 yards and beyond. You’ll experience less muzzle jump and fatigue than .300 Win Mag shooters, sharper target recovery on back-to-back shots, and ballistics stable enough to dial wind adjustments with confidence. For Western big game—elk, mule deer, pronghorn—the 6.5 PRC is a legitimate open-country choice that doesn’t over-penetrate or waste energy.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara barrels are manufactured in the Basque region of northern Spain, a region with centuries of gunmaking tradition. The company’s 5-step barrel process—mechanical straightening to eliminate runout, deep-hole drilling for uniform wall thickness, three-spindle diamond honing to a mirror finish, button rifling with carbide buttons held to less than 0.0002 inches of groove diameter deviation, and high-temperature stress relieving—is the same discipline applied to the world’s most expensive custom builds. These barrels shoot like hand-lapped rifles at production prices because they are production precision. Your Ridge’s No. 5 taper barrel is fully free-floated and treated with Graphite Black Cerakote for weather resistance and a clean aesthetic.

B-14 Action: Built for Accuracy and Compatibility

The B-14 action is engineered on a Remington 700 footprint with meaningful improvements. A two-lug bolt system with a coned bolt nose and breech ensures smooth, reliable feeding. The bolt stop is stronger than the standard 700 design, and the oversized threaded bolt knob ships standard—no extra shopping required. Because it accepts all Remington 700 pattern triggers, stocks, and scope mounts, you can upgrade, customize, or modify your rifle on your timeline with parts already in your hands or a gunsmith’s bin. This compatibility is a hidden asset that grows more valuable every season you own the rifle.

Trigger and Field Ergonomics

Your Ridge ships with the Bergara Performance Trigger, a two-stage adjustable mechanism that breaks clean and predictable. Factory-set between 3 and 3.5 pounds, this trigger performs on par with aftermarket upgrades costing twice as much. If you want a lighter let-off for precision shooting, or a slightly heavier pull for hunting, an Allen key and 30 seconds of work adjust the pull from 2 to 4 pounds—no gunsmith required. The trigger is enclosed within the conventional guard and guard bow, preserving the classic sporter silhouette and preventing snags in the field.

Stock and Handling

The American-style synthetic stock is constructed from glass fiber reinforced polymer and finished in Graphite Black. It’s not a chassis system or a precision target stock—it’s a time-tested, weather-resistant sporter design that feels natural in your hands and shoulders. The stock geometry is balanced for long-range accuracy and fast-handling in the field, with good cheek weld for scope return and a traditional Monte Carlo comb. The synthetic material shrugs off rain, mud, and temperature swings without warping or splitting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the 6.5 PRC over .308 Win or .300 Win Mag?

The 6.5 PRC splits the difference between lighter 6.5mm rounds and full-bore magnums. It delivers more velocity and energy than .308 Winchester—especially in the wind and at distance—with significantly less recoil and muzzle jump than .300 Win Mag. If you’re hunting elk or mule deer beyond 400 yards and want reliable, flat shooting without magnum recoil, the 6.5 PRC is purpose-built for that mission. It’s also more forgiving on follow-up shots than larger magnums, a real advantage in the field.

Will my Ridge accept aftermarket stocks and triggers?

Yes. The B-14 action is built on a Remington 700 footprint, meaning any 700-pattern stock, chassis, or trigger will bolt directly to your rifle. This is a major advantage if you want to add a precision chassis for target shooting, swap to a McMillan hunting stock, or upgrade the trigger down the road. Gunsmith services, scope rings, muzzle brakes—the entire 700 ecosystem is available to you.

Does the Ridge come with iron sights?

No. The Ridge is designed as a scope-mounted hunting rifle. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Remington 700 bases, and we recommend a quality 2.5–4x variable or 3–9x scope paired with quality bases and rings. If you’re interested in iron sight backup, low-profile aperture sights designed for the 700 footprint are available from aftermarket manufacturers.

What is Bergara’s accuracy guarantee?

Bergara backs every Ridge with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee: your rifle will print groups of 1 inch or less at 100 yards using quality factory ammunition. This guarantee covers the rifle as delivered, with no modifications. If your Ridge fails to meet this standard, Bergara will service or replace it at no charge. In our experience, most B-14 Ridges shoot tighter than the guarantee, often delivering 0.5 to 0.75 MOA groups with premium match ammunition.

What is the effective range of the 6.5 PRC?

The 6.5 PRC is practical to 600+ yards for hunting with proper ballistic preparation. Wind drift is moderate, and energy retention at distance is excellent. For most hunters in most hunting situations, the effective range is 300–500 yards. Beyond that, you must know your ballistics, understand wind, and practice extensively. With a good scope and quality ammunition, your Ridge is capable of 1000-yard accuracy on paper—but hunting effectiveness and ethical kill zones decline sharply beyond 600 yards.

Is the synthetic stock durable?

Yes. Glass fiber reinforced polymer is weather-resistant, dent-resistant, and will not warp, crack, or swell in changing humidity like wood. It requires minimal maintenance—a wipe-down with a damp cloth is sufficient. The Graphite Black finish hides dust and scratches well. This stock is designed for hard use in the field and will outlast the ammunition you fire through the barrel.
