Action, Barrel, and Feeding

The Bergara barrel is the centerpiece—known for tight tolerances and consistent manufacturing that translate to on-target groups. The B-14 Action uses a two-lug system with a sliding plate extractor and a coned bolt nose and breech to ensure smooth feeding and extraction across a range of ammunition. Those features reduce drag during cycling and make follow-up shots faster and more reliable.

Trigger and Controls

BERGARA B-14 RIDGE is equipped with Bergara’s curved trigger set at about a three-pound pull. That crisp, clean feel helps hunters maintain consistent trigger control for small groups at typical hunting ranges. The model is also available with a hinged floor plate for easier unloading and field handling.

Chambering: .243 Winchester

The .243 Winchester chambering is an excellent choice for hunters who want a flat-shooting, low-recoil cartridge suitable for deer, pronghorn, and similar-sized game. It offers high velocity, manageable recoil for follow-up shots, and a broad selection of factory and handloaded bullets—making it versatile for varying terrain and shot distances.
