Bergara B-14R Rimfire Steel Rifle – Exceptional Precision for Every Shooter

The Bergara B-14R Rimfire Steel Rifle is the ultimate rimfire rifle for those seeking high precision in their shooting experience. Designed for both recreational and competitive shooting, this rifle brings a full REM700 footprint to rimfire, offering shooters a true “trainer” model that can be configured to mirror centerfire rifles. With its high-performance engineering, this .22LR rifle embodies Bergara’s commitment to quality and accuracy, making it ideal for training, long-range rimfire shooting, hunting, and serious competition.

Key Features

• True Trainer Model: Designed with a full-size REM700 footprint, the B-14R Rimfire works with REM700-compatible stocks, bases, and triggers. This feature allows shooters to practice on a rifle with the same feel and configuration as a centerfire setup, improving familiarity and muscle memory.
• Customizable for Training: Since it fits many after-market components, the Bergara B-14R can be adapted for various shooting needs, allowing for a training experience as close to centerfire shooting as possible without the associated costs.

Bergara B-14R Action

The B-14R Rimfire action operates with .22LR caliber, providing a reliable push-feed action with dual extractors for smooth, seamless chambering and extraction. This high-quality rimfire action is not only dependable but also enhances the rifle’s accuracy, making it perfect for long-range shooting.

• Caliber: .22LR, .22 WMR, or .17 HMR, allowing for flexibility depending on shooting preference.
• Dual Extractors: Dual extractors ensure that every round chambers and ejects smoothly, enhancing reliability, particularly in fast-paced training or competition settings.

Bergara Barrel: Precision Engineering

At the heart of Bergara’s reputation for accuracy is the 4140 Bergara barrel. This steel, 18″ barrel for the .22LR version, crafted with a 1:16 twist, provides optimal stabilization for .22 rounds, improving accuracy over long distances.

• Material and Length: 4140 steel and an 18-inch length (for the .22LR) or 20-inch length (for .22 WMR and .17 HMR).
• 1:16 Twist: In the .22LR model, the twist rate is ideal for accurate rimfire shooting.
• Muzzle Thread: The 1/2-28 thread enables easy attachment of suppressors or muzzle brakes, making the B-14R adaptable for a wide range of shooting needs.
• Muzzle Diameter: At 21.5mm, the No. 6 barrel profile ensures durability without adding excessive weight, creating a balanced and manageable feel.

Floating Bolt Head with Gas Shield

The Bergara B-14R’s floating bolt head design with a non-rotating gas shield is engineered for safe, smooth action. This feature ensures that the bolt remains stable, contributing to the overall accuracy and durability of the rifle. The bolt design also enhances shooter safety by containing gas blowback, keeping the shooter focused on performance.

HMR Stock with Integrated Mini-Chassis

The HMR (Hunting and Match Rifle) stock on the Bergara B-14R combines comfort and stability. Molded with an integrated mini-chassis, it offers repeatable bedding, which supports a fully free-floated barrel for enhanced accuracy.

• Adjustability: Equipped with an adjustable cheek piece and length-of-pull, allowing shooters to tailor the stock to their preferences.
• Sling Mounts: Integrated OD flush cup sling mounts and swivel mounts make it easy to carry in the field or on the range.
• Mini-Chassis System: Provides consistent bedding to ensure the barrel remains free-floating, enhancing accuracy.

Magazine and Capacity

The B-14R magazine is designed for single-stack .22LR rounds and is made with the same dimensions as a short action AICS magazine. This allows the B-14R to work seamlessly with many aftermarket AICS-compatible magazine pouches, enhancing its usability.

• Magazine Capacity: The rifle includes a 10-round magazine, allowing for ample shots before needing to reload.
• AICS Style: Designed to the AICS standard, offering compatibility with a wide range of accessories and pouches.
