About This Firearm
The Bergara B-14 Ridge is a synthetic-stocked bolt-action .308 Winchester built for deer and elk hunting. It has an MSRP of $999. Bergara guarantees it will shoot sub-MOA with match grade ammunition, measured as three 3-shot groups from a cold bore over front and rear bags.
It feeds from an internal box magazine with a hinged floor plate, so there is no detachable box to lose and no spares to buy. Any standard Remington 700 rail will work on the B-14 line, and no base or sights come on the rifle. Nothing on the stock adjusts for fit.
If you’re cross-shopping, the Savage 110 Hunter is a used buy now, 0.15 lbs lighter, with a 22-inch barrel, a detachable magazine and an AccuFit stock that sets comb height and pull length. The Tikka T3x Lite is a pound lighter at 6.40 lbs and still in production, though it holds three rounds and needs scope mounts cut for Tikka. Of the three, only the Bergara has a guaranteed accuracy figure.

Strengths & Limitations
- Bases and rings come off the shelf, because the B-14 takes the same rails as a Remington 700.
- The barrel and action wear Graphite Black Cerakote, which does the corrosion work the high carbon steel underneath does not.
- The hinged floor plate empties the magazine in one motion, so the rifle is unloaded without cycling rounds through the chamber.
- Measure the muzzle thread before ordering a brake or a suppressor mount.
- Neither a base nor sights come with it, so a rail, rings and glass all go on top of the rifle before it can be shot.
