Key Features
- Bergara B-14 Action: Two-lug design with a smooth, reliable feed. Why it matters: It cycles cleanly in cold or muddy conditions, keeping you on target when seconds count.
- Omni Muzzle Brake: Multi-ported, omnidirectional brake reduces felt recoil. Why it matters: You can spot your own hits and stay in the scope for quick follow-ups, even with hot 7mm loads.
- Bergara Performance Trigger: Adjustable from 3 to 5 pounds with a crisp break. Why it matters: Dial in the pull weight to match your shooting style for consistent accuracy in the field.
- Hand-Painted Digital Camo Stock: SoftTouch synthetic with textured grip panels. Why it matters: It stays quiet against brush, won’t slip in wet hands, and resists dings from rocky terrain.
- Threaded, Tapered Barrel: 24-inch length with 5/8×24 threads and a Sniper Grey Cerakote finish. Why it matters: You can mount a suppressor or brake, and the taper keeps the barrel light for carrying all day.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who spends opening day miles from the truck, glassing ridges and packing out meat in the dark. It’s built for elk, mule deer, and black bear in the Rockies or the high desert. If you want a factory rifle that shoots like a custom build without the wait, this is your rig.

FAQ
What scope base pattern does the Bergara B-14 Ridge Wilderness use?
It uses the Remington 700 short action pattern. Bergara drills and taps the receiver at the factory, so any Remington 700-compatible rail, two-piece base, or ring set will fit directly. No gunsmithing needed.
Can I mount a suppressor on the 7mm Rem Mag barrel?
Yes. The 24-inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24 with a factory-installed Omni muzzle brake. Remove the brake and attach a direct-thread suppressor or a QD mount that matches the thread pitch. The barrel is straight-threaded, not tapered at the muzzle.
How heavy is the trigger pull from the factory?
Per Bergara specs, the Performance Trigger is adjustable from 3 to 5 pounds. Most factory rifles ship set around 3.5 pounds. You can adjust it with a 3/32-inch hex key without removing the action from the stock.
Is the stock bedded from the factory?
Bergara uses a molded-in aluminum bedding block in the synthetic stock. It provides a stable, repeatable action-to-stock fit without traditional glass bedding. Expect consistent accuracy across temperature and humidity changes.
