Bergara B-14 Wilderness Series Sierra, Bolt Action Rifle, 6.5 PRC, 20″ Fluted Barrel, Camo Finish, Sniper Gray, Wldrnss 6.5PRC 3R

Product Description

The Bergara B-14 Wilderness Sierra in 6.5 PRC is a precision hunting rifle built for shooters who refuse to compromise between traditional field ergonomics and modern tactical capability. The adjustable comb is the game-changer here — it lets you dial in your cheek weld height with an Allen key to achieve perfect eye-to-scope alignment without buying a new stock or shimming. Pair that with a fluted barrel, M5 bottom metal for AICS magazine compatibility, and Sniper Grey Cerakote, and you have a backcountry rifle that shoots like a competition gun and handles like a classic sporter.

Specifications

What Makes the B-14 Wilderness Sierra Different

• Adjustable comb height: Factory-installed side-mounted adjustment lets you achieve perfect eye-to-scope alignment without tools beyond an Allen key — a feature rarely found on hunting rifles at this price point.
• Fluted barrel with Omni Muzzle Brake: The fluted profile sheds weight and improves heat dissipation compared to standard sporter barrels, while the included brake anchors the rifle in the field and improves shot recovery.
• M5 bottom metal flexibility: Switch between AICS detachable magazines for high-volume shooting or backcountry hunts, or lock in a hinged floor plate for traditional field carry — both options ship with the rifle.
• B-14 action with Remington 700 compatibility: Built on Bergara’s proven two-lug design with a coned bolt nose, stronger bolt stop than a Model 700, and access to decades of aftermarket stocks, triggers, chassis, and mounts from the world’s largest bolt-action ecosystem.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara’s reputation rests on a five-step barrel manufacturing process refined across generations in the Basque region of Spain. Every barrel is straightened to precision tolerances, deep-hole drilled, and subjected to three-spindle diamond honing that mirrors the finish of a hand-lapped match barrel. Button rifling with carbide buttons — held to less than .0002″ groove diameter deviation — ensures bore consistency, and high-temperature stress relieving eliminates the microscopic stresses that cause group creep over time. The result is production-grade accuracy that rivals custom barrels without custom prices.

6.5 PRC: The Right Caliber for This Rifle

The 6.5 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge) is engineered for modern long-range hunting and match shooting. In a 20-inch barrel, the 6.5 PRC delivers velocities in the 2,900–2,950 fps range with factory ammunition, providing flat trajectory, excellent wind-bucking performance, and enough energy for hunting applications from deer to elk at reasonable ranges. The cartridge’s popularity means ammunition and brass are readily available, and the short, fat case design feeds smoothly through the B-14 action. If you shoot long range or compete, 6.5 PRC is becoming the standard; if you hunt medium game over varied terrain, it’s an excellent all-around choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the adjustable comb actually move, and is it durable?

The adjustable comb moves in increments via Allen key to dial in cheek weld height. Bergara engineered it for field hunters — not competition shooters who obsess over half-inch adjustments — so expect solid repeatability and durability over the life of the rifle. If you’ve got a particular optic (say, a low-mounted LPVO or a high-ring scope), the adjustable comb eliminates the need for a different stock or expensive shimming.

Can I use standard Remington 700 magazines in the M5 bottom metal?

No. M5 bottom metal is designed for AICS-pattern magazines, which are the industry standard for modern tactical and precision rifles. AICS magazines are available from dozens of manufacturers, reliable, and widely compatible. The hinged floor plate option gives you traditional single-feed capability if you prefer it, and both are included with the rifle.

What makes the B-14 action better than a Remington 700?

The B-14 uses a two-lug system with a coned bolt nose and coned breech for smoother feeding and less wear over time. The bolt stop is stronger and less prone to damage than the Model 700 design. The oversized, threaded bolt knob is standard (not an upgrade), and the entire action is threaded for easy scope mount and barrel work. Most importantly, the B-14 maintains full Remington 700 footprint compatibility — your existing stocks, triggers, and chassis will fit, and aftermarket support is unmatched in the bolt-action world.

Does the 20-inch barrel lose significant velocity compared to 24-inch options?

Yes, roughly 50–100 fps depending on the load. A 20-inch 6.5 PRC will run around 2,900–2,950 fps with factory ammo; a 24-inch will push closer to 3,000–3,050 fps. For hunting within 400 yards, the difference is negligible. For competition or very long-range work, a 24-inch is more popular. The Sierra’s 20-inch design is a conscious trade-off: lighter weight, shorter overall length for backcountry carry, and faster target acquisition in thick country — ideal for hunters who climb ridges and navigate timber.

Is the Omni Muzzle Brake included?

Yes. The rifle ships threaded 5/8×24 with the Bergara Omni Muzzle Brake installed and timed. If you prefer a suppressor or a different brake, the barrel is ready to have one installed by a gunsmith — no additional work required.

What’s the sub-MOA accuracy guarantee?

Bergara guarantees that every B-14 rifle will print groups under 1 inch at 100 yards when fired from a rest with quality factory ammunition (typically mid-grade match or hunting ammo). This is a straightforward, no-BS promise: your rifle is built to shoot, and if it doesn’t, Bergara backs it. Most shooters will see tighter groups with hand-selected ammunition and a quality rest.
