About This Firearm
The Bergara B-14 HMR is a chassis-stocked bolt-action 6.5mm Creedmoor built for target shooting and load development. It has an MSRP of $1,169. Bergara guarantees sub-MOA with it, tested at 100 yards with match grade ammunition and with the test loads named by caliber.
A 5-round AICS magazine is in the box and any standard Remington 700 rail bolts on, though no rail comes with the rifle. The stock has a mini-chassis molded into it that supports a fully free-floating barrel, so there is no bedding to have done or maintained. Measure the muzzle before ordering a brake or a suppressor mount. At 9.60 lbs before an optic, this is a rifle you set up on a bench.
If you're cross-shopping, a used Savage 110 Tactical is 0.73 lbs lighter with a 20 MOA rail already fitted, a 10-round magazine in the box and an AccuTrigger that goes to 1.5 lbs. The Tikka T3x CTR is 1.44 lbs lighter on a 20.1-inch barrel with a 5/8x24 thread already cut. Within Bergara's own range, the Bergara Premier HMR Pro has an MSRP of $1,799 and needs 8x40 base screws that most 700 rails do not have.

Strengths & Limitations
- The magazine well takes any AICS-pattern box, so a 10-round magazine is a shelf purchase.
- Bergara names Hornady 140 gr ELD Match and 143 gr ELD-X among the 6.5 Creedmoor loads it tests with, which gives a starting point for working up a zero.
- Barrel and action are high carbon steel under Graphite Black Cerakote, and Bergara builds them in Spain.
- At 9.60 lbs with nothing on it, this is a rifle you set down more often than you pick up.
- A rail is a separate purchase, and so is anything that screws onto the muzzle.
- The Premier HMR Pro charges the extra for a honed stainless barrel, a TriggerTech trigger and US assembly, so the B-14 has the cheaper steel and the cheaper trigger.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rail or base should I buy?
Any standard Remington 700 rail. Bergara confirms that for the whole B-14 line, and it is the Premier rifles that need the heavier 8-40 screws.
How is it different from the Premier HMR Pro?
The Premier is assembled in the United States around a honed 416 stainless barrel with a TriggerTech trigger. The B-14 HMR is built in Spain with a chrome-moly barrel and takes ordinary 700 bases.
Does the stock adjust for fit?
The cheekpiece adjusts for height and spacers change the length of pull, and QD flush cups are set into the stock for a sling.
