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

Product Description

The Bergara B-14 Wilderness Sierra in 6.5 PRC is a left-hand hunting rifle built for shooters who demand precision in the field without compromise. This rifle bridges the gap between traditional sporter handling and modern detachable magazine capability, making it ideal for backcountry hunters who refuse to sacrifice accuracy for versatility. The adjustable comb means you dial in the perfect cheek weld for your optic setup — no stock swap, no guessing.

Specifications

What Makes the B-14 Wilderness Sierra Different

• Adjustable comb — measured in millimeters, not compromise. Allen-key adjustment on the side of the stock lets you dial in perfect eye-to-scope alignment for any optic height or mounting configuration. No new stock required.
• Fluted barrel cuts weight while improving heat dissipation. The No. 5 taper fluted design keeps your rifle nimble in steep country while maintaining the rigidity that demands accuracy at distance.
• M5 bottom metal bridges two worlds. Run modern AICS detachable magazines for rapid reloads and field efficiency, or swap to a hinged floor plate and use traditional single-loading or magazine-fed from a pouch — your choice, no permanent commitment.
• Bergara’s legendary barrel as standard. Every Sierra comes with a 5-step precision barrel that competes with hand-lapped customs. The result: sub-MOA accuracy out of the box, every time.
• Left-hand configuration done right. Mirrored bolt, safety, and stock — not a right-hand rifle with a left-hand bolt. This rifle was built for you.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara isn’t just a rifle company — it’s a town in Spain’s Basque region with centuries of gunmaking heritage. For decades, Bergara has manufactured precision barrels for the world’s most demanding firearms builders. Every Bergara barrel follows a relentless 5-step process: precise straightening, deep-hole drilling, three-spindle diamond honing to a mirror finish, button rifling with carbide buttons held to less than .0002″ groove diameter deviation, and high-temperature stress relieving. The result is production barrels that shoot like hand-lapped customs. That’s why you see Bergara barrels on match rifles, hunting rifles, and everywhere accuracy matters.

Why 6.5 PRC for Hunting?

The 6.5 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge) was engineered for hunters and match shooters who want velocity, ballistics, and accuracy in a standard-length action. At 20 inches, this barrel delivers roughly 2,950 fps with modern factory loads — enough velocity to flatten your trajectory to 400+ yards while staying in the comfortable recoil range for accurate follow-up shots. The 6.5 bullet selection is unmatched: premium bonded rounds for hunting elk and deer, match-grade ammo for distance work. If you reload, the PRC is forgiving and efficient. If you hunt factory loads, 6.5 PRC ammunition is available at any serious dealer.

The B-14 Action: Why It Matters

The B-14 action uses a Remington 700 footprint — the largest aftermarket ecosystem in bolt-action history. That means triggers, stocks, chassis, scope mounts, and upgrades from a hundred manufacturers will fit this rifle. The B-14 itself improves on the 700 design: a two-lug system with a coned bolt nose and breech for smooth feeding, a stronger bolt stop (no more dropped stripper clips), and a threaded oversized bolt knob as standard. You’re not locked into Bergara parts — you’re plugged into the biggest aftermarket pool in the industry.

Adjustable Comb: Why This Matters in the Field

Most hunters buy a stock, mount an optic, and hope the cheek weld feels right. If it doesn’t, they buy another stock — a $300+ mistake. The Bergara adjustable comb eliminates that guessing game. Allen-key adjustment on the side of the stock lets you fine-tune comb height in minutes. Mounted a taller scope? Adjust. Switching from a low-mounted red dot to a variable power scope? Adjust. The comb height you need is dialed in, and when you close your eyes and shoulder the rifle, your eye finds the glass perfectly. That’s the difference between a precise shot and a miss in poor light or at distance.

Fluted Barrel: Lighter, Faster, Cooler

The No. 5 taper fluted barrel saves weight versus a standard profile — important when you’re packing this rifle into steep country. Fluting also increases surface area, which improves heat dissipation during rapid fire or back-to-back shots. In practical terms: your rifle stays cooler longer, and you shed ounces that matter when every step counts in the mountains.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this left-hand rifle have left-hand scope bases and safety?

Yes. The B-14 Wilderness Sierra is a true left-hand rifle — mirrored bolt, safety, and stock. The bolt travels left-to-right, the safety is on the left side of the receiver, and the stock is built for left-hand shooters. You’ll need left-hand scope bases (Remington 700 pattern) to complete the build.

Can I use the M5 bottom metal with both detachable magazines and a hinged floor plate?

Yes. The M5 bottom metal accepts standard AICS-pattern detachable magazines, or you can install a hinged floor plate (sold separately) for traditional single-loading or magazine-fed hunting. The conversion is field-interchangeable — no gunsmith required. This flexibility is one of the Sierra’s biggest advantages for hunters who want modern magazine capability without abandoning classic field practices.

What magazines work with the M5 bottom metal?

The M5 accepts standard AICS detachable magazines in 6.5 PRC. We recommend quality steel or aluminum AICS mags from established manufacturers — Accuracy International, MDT, or KRG are all proven. Capacity depends on mag length; for 6.5 PRC, expect 4–5 rounds in a standard AICS magazine. Call us for specific recommendations and compatibility checks.

Is the Bergara Performance Trigger adjustable without a gunsmith?

Yes. The trigger is adjustable from 2 to 4 lbs using only an Allen key — no gunsmith required. Bergara factory-sets it to approximately 3 to 3.5 lbs, which is ideal for hunting. If you want it lighter for match work or heavier for brush hunting, you adjust it yourself in minutes. Reviewers consistently call it crisp and on par with aftermarket triggers costing $150+.

Is this rifle accurate enough for long-range hunting?

Yes. Every Bergara rifle carries a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee — meaning it will print groups under 1 inch at 100 yards with quality factory ammunition, straight from the box. At 20 inches, this barrel is optimized for practical hunting ranges (out to 400+ yards with 6.5 PRC). The Bergara action, trigger, and barrel work together to deliver accuracy you can trust. Beyond 500 yards, you’ll need wind reading and ballistics knowledge — the rifle is more than capable.

Does the Omni Muzzle Brake reduce recoil significantly?

The Omni Muzzle Brake reduces felt recoil by venting gas upward and to the sides — typical performance is 20–30% recoil reduction. 6.5 PRC recoil is already moderate compared to 30-06 or magnum cartridges, so the brake makes an already-pleasant shooter even more comfortable. It’s also threaded 5/8×24, so you can swap it for a suppressor (with appropriate NFA registration) or a different brake if you prefer.

What’s the difference between the B-14 Wilderness Sierra and other B-14 hunting rifles?

The Sierra combines the Ridge sporter profile with three game-changing features: an adjustable comb, M5 bottom metal for detachable magazine capability, and a fluted barrel. If you want a traditional field rifle with modern versatility and tweakable ergonomics, the Sierra is the answer. Other B-14 models prioritize different features — the Terrain for synthetic durability, the Approach for speed — but the Sierra is the only one that bridges adjustability, detachable magazines, and classic sporter lines.

Can I swap stocks on the B-14 action?

Yes. The B-14 uses a Remington 700 footprint, so any Remington 700 sporter stock or chassis will fit. However, the Bergara stock with adjustable comb is one of its strongest features — before you invest in another stock, make sure you’ve optimized the comb height on the Sierra. That said, the 700 ecosystem includes hundreds of options, and the action will accept all of them.

What’s the 6.5 PRC good for beyond hunting?

The 6.5 PRC excels in precision rifle competitions, long-range target shooting, and match work out to 1,000+ yards. Factory match ammo is available from multiple manufacturers, and it’s ideal for hand-loaders who want excellent brass life and velocity consistency. If you’re splitting time between hunting season and off-season match shooting, the 6.5 PRC is a legitimate dual-purpose round.

Does this rifle come with a scope or rings?

No. The rifle ships with a bare action and stock. You’ll need to add a left-hand scope base (Remington 700 pattern), rings, and a scope. We recommend contacting us before you buy — we can help you build a complete, balanced left-hand setup and answer questions about optics that work best for your intended use.
