Bergara B-14 Squared Crest

Bergara's new B-14 Squared Crest Rifle should get a few looks for mountain hunting and demanding conditions. It has a carbon-fiber monocoque stock, with a carbon fiber spine throughout the stock for greater rigidity and strength. The fluted 4140 CrMo steel barrel comes in 22- and 20-inch lengths. Other features include a cone-shaped bolt nose ejector, sliding extractor, 90-degree bolt throw, AICS-compatible detachable magazine, Sniper Grey Cerakote and adjustable Bergara Performance Trigger. It's available in 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, .308 Win., and .300 Win. Mag. $1,999. More from Bergara:

  • ULTRA-SMOOTH ACTION: Bergara B-14 action consists of a two-bolt system with a sliding extractor and a tapered bolt and breech stop to ensure smooth cartridge insertion and extraction. Finish with a Sniper Grey Cerakote to complement the barrel and flute-plated to enhance its appearance and reduce its overall weight.
  • MONOCOQUE CARBON FIBER STOCK: This new 100-percent carbon fiber stock is manufactured using CF-RTM technology, a state-of-the-art method in high demand in the automotive and aerospace industries. This manufacturing process consists of assembling dry carbon fibers by hand with an injected resin. Begara incorporated a carbon spine throughout the stock providing greater rigidity and strength. This technology, along with LOP spacers, sets a new standard in being the best choice for carbon stocks.
  • BERGARA PRECISION BARREL: Bergara’s reputation is based on the best drilling, honing, and rifling processes that guarantee sub-MOA precision. The CREST barrel consists of 4140 CrMo steel fluted barrel finished in Sniper Grey Cerakote. The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24 and includes a Bergara Omni Muzzle Brake.
  • M5 (AICS Style Magazine): The Crest rifle comes with a detachable five-round AICS compatible magazine.
