Product Description

The Bergara Sierra Wilderness in 7mm PRC is a precision hunting rifle built for backcountry hunters who refuse to compromise on accuracy or versatility.

M5 bottom metal accepts AICS detachable magazines or a traditional hinged floor plate, giving you the flexibility to hunt however you want.

Specifications

What Makes the B-14 Wilderness Sierra Different

• Adjustable Comb Height — Allen key adjustment on the side of the stock eliminates the need to buy a new stock every time you switch scopes or optic heights. Dial in a perfect cheek weld in minutes.
• Fluted Barrel — Reduces weight by up to half a pound versus the standard Ridge profile while improving heat dissipation. Critical for all-day glassing or backcountry hunts where every ounce matters.
• M5 Bottom Metal with Dual Magazine Compatibility — Switch between AICS detachable magazines and a traditional hinged floor plate without gunsmithing. The only B-14 hunting rifle that bridges traditional field use and modern precision rifle magazine systems.
• Bergara Omni Muzzle Brake and Full Cerakote Protection — Sniper Grey finish and threaded barrel resist weather and corrosion in extreme conditions. The brake reduces recoil and muzzle rise, improving shot placement at distance.

Why the 7mm PRC Matters for This Rifle

The 7mm PRC is a modern magnum short-action cartridge designed for long-range hunting. It delivers magnum-level velocity and energy in a case that doesn’t require a full-length magnum action, keeping weight down while maintaining energy beyond 500 yards. In a 22″ fluted barrel with the Omni brake, the 7mm PRC hits 2,900–2,950 fps with 180-grain premium bullets—enough for elk and other large game at extended ranges. The compact case also runs reliably through the 3-round AICS magazine, making this rifle equally at home in a backpack or a precision rifle competition.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara has been manufacturing precision barrels for some of the world’s top firearms companies for decades. Every Bergara barrel goes through a five-step process: straightening to eliminate runout, deep-hole drilling from solid steel, 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 process produces barrels that shoot like hand-lapped custom barrels at production prices—the fluted No. 5 taper in this Sierra Wilderness is no exception. The result: sub-MOA accuracy from the factory, guaranteed.

The B-14 Action: Built for Aftermarket Everything

The Bergara B-14 action is built on a Remington 700 footprint, the largest aftermarket ecosystem in bolt-action history. This means thousands of stocks, chassis systems, triggers, and scope mounts are available off-the-shelf. The B-14 itself features a two-lug system with a coned bolt nose and breech for smooth feeding, a stronger bolt stop than the classic Remington 700, and a threaded oversized bolt knob standard. If you want to customize or upgrade this rifle years from now, the options are endless.

The Bergara Performance Trigger

The factory trigger is adjustable from 2 to 4 lbs via Allen key—no gunsmith required. It ships set around 3 to 3.5 lbs, and reviewers consistently call it crisp and comparable to most upgraded aftermarket triggers. This means you get precision-grade trigger performance without the aftermarket cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the adjustable comb work, and can I dial it in myself?

The adjustable comb is adjusted via Allen key on the side of the stock—no gunsmith needed. Each turn raises or lowers your cheek weld height by a known amount, so you can dial in perfect eye-to-scope alignment in minutes. This is especially valuable if you switch between a 1–4x hunting scope and a 3–15x long-range scope; you just adjust the comb instead of buying a new stock.

Can I use standard AICS magazines in the M5 bottom metal?

Yes. The M5 bottom metal accepts all standard AICS detachable magazines. The rifle ships with a 3-round magazine, but you can upgrade to higher-capacity AICS mags if desired (subject to local laws). You can also swap back to the hinged floor plate at any time without gunsmithing—M5 bottom metal is field-interchangeable.

What is the effective range of the 7mm PRC, and what game is it suitable for?

The 7mm PRC is a long-range hunting cartridge designed for elk, moose, and other large game. With a 180-grain premium bullet from a 22″ barrel, you can expect reliable energy and expansion out to 500+ yards, depending on your bullet choice and hunting conditions. The Omni brake on this rifle reduces recoil and muzzle rise, making follow-up shots faster and more accurate. Always consult your ballistics calculator and local hunting regulations for your specific hunt.

Does this rifle come with a muzzle brake, and can I remove it?

Yes, the Bergara Omni Muzzle Brake comes installed and is threaded 5/8×24. You can remove it for a suppressor, different brake, or flash hider if desired. The barrel is threaded and ready for any standard aftermarket muzzle device.

What is Bergara’s accuracy guarantee?

Bergara backs every rifle with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. Your Sierra Wilderness will print groups under 1 inch at 100 yards with quality factory ammunition, straight from the box. If it doesn’t, Bergara will repair or replace the rifle at no cost.

What is the difference between the Sierra Wilderness and other B-14 Wilderness models?

The Sierra Wilderness is distinguished by the adjustable comb, fluted barrel, and M5 bottom metal. Other Wilderness models may feature fixed combs, standard-profile barrels, and hinged floor plates. The Sierra is the premium option for hunters who want maximum versatility and precision without a full-size magnum action.
