Design and Build

The BERGARA B-14 HUNTER WILDERNESS is a bolt action built around Bergara’s reputation for precision barrels. The 22-inch #4 contour barrel balances weight and heat dissipation for sustained accuracy in the field. The fluted bolt reduces reciprocating mass and sheds fouling, improving cycling in adverse conditions. A synthetic stock with a hand painted finish provides weather resistance and an understated look that won’t flash in the field.

Barrel, Twist Rate, and Ballistics

The 1:8″ twist rate is optimized for stabilizing heavier 6.5 PRC projectiles, allowing hunters to load long, high-BC bullets that retain energy at extended ranges. The 6.5 PRC caliber offers a flat trajectory and strong downrange performance while keeping recoil manageable for follow-up shots. When paired with the 22-inch barrel, expect a balance of velocity and portability well-suited to mountain and plains hunting.

Synthetic Stock Practicality

Weather-resistant materials and a hand painted finish combine durability with an aesthetic that blends into natural environments. The stock’s ergonomics support solid cheek weld and consistent trigger positioning—key elements for repeatable accuracy when stalking or shooting from improvised rests.

At a street price of $869.99, the BERGARA B-14 HUNTER WILDERNESS positions itself as a value-oriented precision hunting rifle in the bolt action category. For hunters prioritizing cartridge performance, barrel quality, and a low-maintenance platform, this model is a compelling option. View product details and pricing
