Bergara B-14 Series Timber Rifle, Bolt Action Rifle, 308 Winchester, 20″ Barrel, Cerakote Finish, Black

Product Description

The Bergara B-14 Timber in .308 Winchester represents a rare achievement: a rifle that honors rifle-building tradition without compromising on modern accuracy standards. Built on Bergara’s legendary B-14 action and finished in American walnut, this is the only wood-stocked B-14 in the lineup—a rifle for hunters who refuse to choose between classic aesthetics and sub-MOA precision. At 7.2–7.6 lbs with a 20-inch barrel, the Timber handles like a rifle that belongs in a truck rack or a gun cabinet for generations.

Specifications

What Makes the B-14 Timber Different

• The only wood-stocked B-14. Bergara’s entire Premier Series is built around modern chassis and composite stocks. The Timber stands alone with genuine American walnut—a statement that accuracy and tradition can coexist.
• Bergara’s proven B-14 action on a Remington 700 footprint. You gain access to decades of aftermarket ecosystem—stocks, chassis, triggers, mounts—if you ever want to evolve the rifle. The B-14 action itself improves on the 700 with a stronger bolt stop, coned bolt nose for smooth feeding, and a threaded oversized bolt knob.
• Crisp, field-adjustable trigger. The Bergara Performance Trigger is factory-set around 3–3.5 lbs and can be tuned from 2 to 4 lbs with an Allen key in the field. Reviewers consistently rank it on par with $200+ aftermarket triggers.
• Monte Carlo cheekpiece for modern optics. Traditional walnut stock, modern-height cheekpiece—designed so your scope sits where it needs to without comb risers or tape.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Every Bergara rifle barrel passes through a rigorous five-step manufacturing process that separates Bergara from contract manufacturers. Precision 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 remove internal stresses that would otherwise cause accuracy drift over time. This is the same process Bergara has perfected over decades as a supplier to some of the world’s most demanding firearms companies. The result: production-grade accuracy that rivals hand-lapped barrels, backed by Bergara’s sub-MOA guarantee. Every Timber ships from the factory capable of printing groups under 1 inch at 100 yards with quality ammunition.

.308 Winchester: The Standard

.308 Winchester is the foundation of modern precision rifle shooting. It delivers consistent, proven ballistics across hunting distances, feeds reliably in controlled-feed actions, and ammo availability is unmatched. In a 20-inch barrel, you’re looking at roughly 2,600 fps with a 168-grain load—more than sufficient for any North American big game and fast enough that wind deflection remains manageable to 400 yards. The short barrel keeps the Timber handy in thick country or from a vehicle, while the .308’s ballistic efficiency means you don’t sacrifice energy or drop compared to longer barrels in other calibers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the .308 Winchester the right caliber for me?

.308 Win is the most versatile and supported cartridge in modern hunting and precision shooting. If you’re uncertain between .308 and something like 6.5 Creedmoor or .300 Win Mag, .308 is the safe choice: ammo is everywhere, barrels are readily available if you ever want a spare, and ballistics are proven. It’s the rifle you can hand to someone else and they’ll already understand how to shoot it. That said, if you’re hunting open country over 500 yards regularly or want flatter trajectory with less recoil, we can discuss other calibers—call us.

Can I shoot this rifle without gunsmith work?

Yes. The Bergara Performance Trigger ships factory-set at approximately 3–3.5 lbs, which is safe and shootable. If you want to adjust it, you can tune it from 2 to 4 lbs with a simple Allen key—no gunsmith required. The rifle comes ready to scope and shoot out of the box.

What if I want to upgrade the stock or trigger later?

The B-14 Timber is built on a Remington 700 footprint, which means it accepts any Remington 700 pattern stock, chassis, trigger, or scope mount. You have unlimited aftermarket options. Many shooters start with the Timber as it ships, then upgrade or experiment later. The Bergara B-14 action itself is the same action used in all B-14 rifles, so if you ever want to swap to a modern chassis, the path is straightforward.

Is the walnut stock durable?

American walnut is traditional and beautiful, but it requires occasional maintenance—light oil or linseed treatment every season or two, especially if exposed to weather. Walnut can swell with moisture and shrink in dry conditions. If you hunt in wet climates or need a zero-maintenance rifle, the B-14 Hunting in composite or the B-14 HM Tactical in chassis form might be better fits. That said, walnut-stocked rifles have proven themselves in the field for centuries, and the Timber’s raised cheekpiece and Monte Carlo design are modern enough to support current optics without compromise.

Does this rifle come with a magazine?

Yes, the Timber ships with a four-round internal box magazine with a hinged floor plate. This design is traditional, reliable, and practical for hunting—you can unload the magazine in the field without working the bolt repeatedly.

What’s the warranty?

Bergara stands behind every rifle with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee—if your rifle doesn’t shoot sub-MOA with quality factory ammunition, Bergara will service it. Beyond that, standard manufacturer warranty applies. Ask us for details or contact Bergara directly.
