About This Firearm
The Bergara B-14 Ridge is a synthetic-stocked bolt-action 7mm Remington Magnum built for open-country big game hunting. It has an MSRP of $999. Bergara guarantees sub-MOA accuracy from it and names a Norma 156 grain Oryx and a Hornady 162 grain ELD-X as the 7mm loads it tests with, so there are two factory loads to try before buying a box of everything.
No base or rings are fitted, so the mount comes before anything else. Three rounds go into an internal box with a hinged floorplate, and in this chambering that is all Bergara offers; the short-action Ridge rifles hold four. The barrel is a No. 5 taper in 4140 chrome moly steel, and 24 inches of it sits inside 44 inches overall.
If you're cross-shopping, the Remington 700 ADL is a used buy with 2 inches more barrel and a 2.5-inch longer overall length, and no accuracy guarantee behind it. The Tikka T3x Lite is 1.09 lbs lighter with a 0.4-inch longer barrel, and it needs scope mounts cut for Tikka. All three feed three magnum rounds, and they differ in weight, the mount and the accuracy guarantee.

Strengths & Limitations
- Graphite black Cerakote covers the barrel and the action.
- Unloading is a matter of dropping the floorplate, so live magnum cartridges never go through the chamber.
- At 7.70 lbs it is heavy for a mountain rifle, and under a 7mm Rem Mag that weight is doing work.
- No muzzle thread is listed for it, so a brake or a suppressor means barrel work.
- The stock is a moulded glass-fiber reinforced polymer shape with no comb or length-of-pull adjustment in it.
- The magnum action gives up a round against the short-action rifles in the same line.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which scope base fits it?
Any standard Remington 700 rail. Bergara's Premier rifles need the version drilled for 8-40 screws; this one takes the common and cheap pattern.
How does the Ridge differ from the Hunter?
The barrel contour and the stock. The Ridge uses the heavier No. 5 taper and a glass-fiber reinforced polymer stock; the Hunter uses a No. 4 taper.
Is there a detachable magazine option?
No. The Ridge feeds from the internal box and empties through the floorplate.
