When choosing a bolt-action rifle for serious big-game hunts, balance between accuracy, durability, and field-proven ergonomics matters. Experienced hunters expect a rifle that shoots true, feeds reliably, and mounts optics without fuss—qualities that separate range toys from dependable hunting tools.

BERGARA B-14 TIMBER combines precision engineering with classic hunting aesthetics to meet those expectations. The rifle features a 4140 CrMo steel barrel with a black cerakote finish that’s drilled and tapped for optics. A Monte Carlo style walnut stock provides a raised comb and cheek piece, bedded integral pillars for a stable action bite, and multiple coats of oil for a natural, durable finish. The super-smooth B-14 Action is a two-lug design with a Sako-style extractor and coned bolt nose and breech to ensure smooth feeding and extraction. Outfitted with a Bergara curved trigger, the 270 Winchester model sports a 24″ barrel that is compatible with Remington 700 style rings and bases and uses a hinged floor plate magazine—priced at $900.99.

Design and Features

The 4140 CrMo steel barrel offers a strong balance of stiffness and toughness; the black cerakote protects the metal from corrosion and wear while remaining subdued in the field. The action’s two-lug design shortens bolt lift and, paired with the Sako-style extractor and coned bolt/breech geometry, promotes consistent chambering and extraction even under adverse conditions.

Stock and Bedding

The Monte Carlo walnut stock’s raised comb and cheek piece improves sight alignment with optics, and the bedded integral pillars reduce torque and movement under recoil. Multiple coats of oil finish preserve the wood without flashy gloss—practical for hunters who prefer a traditional look and reliable performance.

Performance and Ballistics (270 Winchester)

The 270 Winchester is a long-standing big-game cartridge valued for flat trajectory and effective terminal performance on deer, elk-sized game, and pronghorn at extended ranges. A 24″ barrel on this model strikes a good compromise between velocity and maneuverability in brush and mountain terrain. The Remington 700-style ring compatibility simplifies mounting a wide range of scopes and bases in the field or workshop.

Buying and Practical Notes

At $900.99, the BERGARA B-14 TIMBER delivers feature-rich construction for hunters who need repeatable accuracy and durable field hardware.
