About This Firearm

The Bergara B-14 HMR is a heavy-barreled bolt-action .308 Winchester built for precision shooting off a bipod or bags. It has an MSRP of $1,169. Its stock has an aluminum mini-chassis molded inside it, so the action beds against metal and the barrel free-floats with no bedding work done to the rifle.

One 5-round AICS-pattern magazine comes with it, and the cheekpiece adjusts for height while spacers change the length of pull. No sights and no scope base come fitted, so a rail, rings and glass are all bought before the first shot.

If you're cross-shopping, the Tikka T3x TAC A1 puts the action in a folding aluminum chassis, feeds from a 10-round magazine, and has a muzzle threaded 5/8x24 and a two-stage trigger set at 3 lbs. The Savage 110 Tactical is a used buy now, 0.63 lbs lighter with a 24-inch barrel and an AccuTrigger listed at 1.5 lbs. Both of those arrive with a rail on the receiver, so the Bergara needs its rail bought separately.

Best For

GOOD
Long Range/Precision
Bergara guarantees sub-MOA accuracy with match grade ammunition, and its test is three 3-shot groups from a cold bore over front and rear bags with nothing else supporting the rifle.
GOOD
Range/Target
At 9.50 lbs and 40 inches overall, it sits still on a bench and the No. 6 taper barrel takes a long time to warm through a string.
FAIR
Hunting (Deer/Elk)
The 20-inch barrel keeps it short enough to work from a blind or a tripod, but this is a heavy rifle to walk with once a scope and a bipod are on it.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths
  • QD flush cups are set into the stock, so a sling swivel clicks in without adding studs.
  • Its magazine is the AICS pattern, the same family as the 10-round Magpul magazine the Savage 110 Tactical takes.
  • Any standard Remington 700 rail fits, which puts the whole 700 base and ring aftermarket within reach.
Limitations
  • The muzzle is not threaded, so a brake or a suppressor means sending the barrel to a shop.
  • One magazine comes with the rifle, and a higher-capacity AICS magazine is a separate purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the HMR differ from the B-14 Ridge?

The Bergara B-14 Ridge has an MSRP of $999 and weighs 7.40 lbs, with an American-style synthetic sporter stock and an internal box magazine with a hinged floor plate in place of the detachable one. Both rifles carry the same accuracy guarantee.

What is the barrel made of?

4140 CrMo steel in a No. 6 taper. Bergara makes B-14 barrels and actions from a high carbon steel and not stainless, which is why the finish is Graphite Black Cerakote.

Will a Bergara Premier rail fit it?

No. Bergara builds the Premier line for a Remington 700 rail with 8-40 screws, and the B-14 takes the standard 700 screw size.

Where is it built?

In Spain.
