Backcountry hunts demand gear that blends lightweight carry, rock-solid accuracy, and reliable function when weather, terrain and long approaches push both hunter and rifle to the limit. The right rifle balances reach, repeatable accuracy and recoil management so you can make ethical shots on mountain game under dynamic conditions.

BERGARA B-14 CREST delivers a purpose-built package for mountain hunting with a 22-250 Rem chambering, 5+1 capacity and a 20″ #5 contour threaded barrel in Sniper Gray Cerakote. The rifle pairs a Sniper Gray Cerakote steel receiver with a black & gray sponge fixed carbon fiber stock for a corrosion-resistant, ultra-light platform. Shop this product

Design and materials engineered for the high country

The fixed 100% carbon fiber stock with its black & gray sponge pattern cuts weight without sacrificing rigidity — essential for accuracy during glassing-to-shot scenarios. Bergara’s fluted bolt reduces mass for smoother cycling and faster follow-up shots on moving game. The Sniper Gray Cerakote finish on both barrel and receiver improves corrosion resistance when you’re operating in wet, snowy, or alpine environments.

Barrel, muzzle and trigger features

The 20″ threaded #5 contour barrel accepts the included Omni muzzle brake and is ready for other muzzle devices, giving you modular recoil control and noise mitigation options. Bergara’s Performance Trigger is tuned for crisp, predictable breaks — a major advantage for precision on steep shots where hold and timing are challenged by wind and elevation. Midway through your gear list, consider how these elements combine to produce consistent point-of-impact from the first round to the last.

Why 22-250 Rem matters for mountain work

The 22-250 Rem provides a flat trajectory and high velocity, which extends effective range for glass-and-pick scenarios common in open alpine terrain. It offers quick downrange performance for lighter game and varmint control around camps, while the rifle’s light overall weight and 5+1 capacity keep pack loads manageable on long approaches.
