Action and feeding mechanics

The B-14 Action is a two-lug system engineered for smooth, consistent cycling. Its Sako-style extractor, coned bolt nose, and coned breech work together to ensure reliable feeding and positive extraction in adverse field conditions. The Bergara curved trigger delivers a crisp, clean pull that helps shooters maintain aim during the final phase of a shot.

Barrel, chamber, and optics compatibility

The 24″ 4140 CrMo steel barrel features a durable black Cerakote finish for corrosion resistance and longevity. The receiver is drilled and tapped, and the barrel is Remington 700 style ring-compatible, making it simple to mount a variety of scope bases and rings without custom gunsmithing. For hunters who prefer factory-fit optics, that compatibility shortens setup time and reduces cost.

.270 Winchester: practical ballistics

The .270 Winchester is a proven big-game caliber that balances flat trajectory with manageable recoil. In a 24″ barrel platform like this, expect strong downrange performance for deer, elk, and similar game inside practical hunting distances. That makes the rifle versatile across mountain hunts and wide-open plains.

Stock and fit

The Monte Carlo walnut stock includes a raised comb and cheek piece to establish a consistent cheek weld for scope use. Bedded integral pillars increase stability in the action channel for repeatable accuracy, and multiple coats of oil finish protect the wood while preserving classic aesthetics. The rifle’s hinged floor plate magazine provides fast unloading and reliable feeding in the field.
