Product Description

The Bergara B-14 Ridge in 7mm PRC combines classic American hunting ergonomics with Bergara’s legendary precision engineering. This is a purpose-built hunting rifle for shooters who want sub-MOA accuracy without sacrificing the traditional sporter feel that comes naturally to experienced hunters. The 7mm PRC cartridge delivers flat trajectory, excellent downrange energy, and minimal recoil compared to larger magnum rounds—ideal for elk, mule deer, and long-range hunting across North Texas terrain and beyond.

Specifications

What Makes the B-14 Ridge Different

• Widest caliber selection in the B-14 lineup. The Ridge is available from .223 Rem through 300 PRC, 450 Bushmaster, and 7mm PRC—giving you genuine flexibility whether you’re a varmint hunter or pursuing large game.
• Classic American sporter handling. Unlike modern chassis rifles, the Ridge feels natural in your hands if you’ve spent decades with traditional hunting rifles. No learning curve, no mall-ninja ergonomics—just a rifle that points and swings like your father’s rifle.
• Remington 700 footprint action. The B-14 action accepts the largest ecosystem of aftermarket stocks, chassis, triggers, and scope mounts in bolt-action history. Want to upgrade? You have unlimited options.
• Field-ready profile with internal magazine. The hinged floor-plate design eliminates snags in brush or in your pack, and the clean lines won’t catch on gear during a stalk.
• Bergara’s sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. Every rifle leaves the shop capable of printing sub-MOA groups with quality factory ammunition. This isn’t marketing—it’s a promise backed by decades of barrel-making expertise.

The 7mm PRC: Why This Cartridge Matters

The 7mm PRC is a modern magnum designed for hunters who want long-range ballistics without the punishment of a .300 Win Mag or .300 PRC. The 7mm PRC launches 175-grain bullets at over 2,800 fps with minimal recoil, delivering excellent downrange energy and a flatter trajectory than traditional 7mm magnums. If you hunt elk or mule deer at 400-plus yards or simply want a cartridge that shoots flat with less blast and recoil, the 7mm PRC is the answer. The 22-inch barrel on this Ridge is the sweet spot—long enough to extract full velocity, short enough to carry all day in the field.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara isn’t just assembling barrels—the company is a gunmaking town in Spain with centuries of heritage. Every Bergara barrel goes through a five-step process: straightening to eliminate inherent stress, deep-hole drilling for consistency, three-spindle diamond honing to a mirror finish, button rifling with carbide buttons held to less than .0002″ groove diameter tolerance, and high-temperature stress relieving. This isn’t cottage-shop hand-work; it’s disciplined manufacturing that produces custom-quality barrels at production prices. That’s why your Ridge comes out of the box capable of sub-MOA accuracy.

Bergara Performance Trigger: Crisp Out of the Box

The Bergara Performance Trigger is factory-set around 3 to 3.5 lbs and breaks clean with virtually zero creep. Reviewers consistently compare it favorably to upgraded aftermarket triggers costing twice as much. If you want to adjust it—tighten it to 2 lbs for precision shooting or set it at 4 lbs for hunting—grab an Allen key. No gunsmith required. This is the kind of attention to detail that separates Bergara from entry-level competition.

B-14 Action: Built on Proven Foundations

The B-14 action uses a Remington 700 footprint, a decision that opens the door to unlimited customization. The action itself features a two-lug system with a coned bolt nose and breech for silky-smooth feeding, a stronger bolt stop than the original Remington 700, and a threaded oversized bolt knob standard. Your rifle will function flawlessly from the factory, and if you ever want to swap the stock into a modern chassis or change triggers, the ecosystem is there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 7mm PRC overkill for mule deer?

No. The 7mm PRC is an excellent deer cartridge, especially if you hunt in open country at distance. The flat trajectory means less holdover, and the energy is more than sufficient. If anything, the light recoil makes it easier to shoot accurately under hunting conditions. Many hunters who started with .300 magnums have found the 7mm PRC does the job with a fraction of the kick.

Can I use standard .7mm magnum ammunition in the 7mm PRC?

No. The 7mm PRC is a proprietary cartridge and requires ammunition or components specifically marked for 7mm PRC. Do not attempt to load or fire .7mm Rem Mag or .7mm Wby Mag ammunition in this rifle. If you reload, you’ll need 7mm PRC-specific dies and brass.

Will my existing Remington 700 scope mount fit the B-14 Ridge?

Yes. The B-14 action uses a Remington 700 footprint, so any standard Rem 700 scope base will work. This gives you full compatibility with millions of mounts, rings, and accessories in the aftermarket. If you’re upgrading from a Remington or want to move an existing setup, it’s a drop-in fit.

What’s the magazine capacity, and can I buy higher-capacity magazines?

This 7mm PRC model comes with a 3-round internal box magazine with a hinged floor plate—standard for magnum calibers. The hinged design lets you single-feed longer bullets or unload quickly without disassembling the action. Third-party magazines designed for the Rem 700 footprint may or may not feed reliably; we recommend sticking with factory or trusted aftermarket options designed for your caliber.

Does the B-14 Ridge come threaded for a suppressor?

This particular 22-inch model comes with a standard muzzle. If you want a suppressor-ready setup, Bergara offers 18-inch Special Purpose configurations that are threaded and ready for a can. The threaded version is also lighter and easier to maneuver in dense cover. Call us at 817-393-4000 to discuss options.

How much does the trigger adjustment affect accuracy?

For hunting, a 3–3.5 lb trigger is ideal; it breaks clean without being so light that you risk a sympathetic press. For precision shooting or benchrest, some shooters prefer 2–2.5 lbs for ultimate control. A heavier trigger (4 lbs) is safer for field conditions. Adjusting the Bergara Performance Trigger doesn’t affect accuracy—it only changes the mechanics of the break. Any adjustment you make is temporary and reversible with an Allen key.
