There is something about a walnut-stocked bolt gun that just feels right in the hands, and the Bergara B-14 Timber nails that feeling without giving up modern accuracy. This right-hand model in .243 Winchester wears a 22 inch, No. 4 taper barrel made from 4140 chrome moly steel with a 1:10 twist, all coated in Graphite Black Cerakote to shrug off rain, snow, and long seasons in the truck rack. Bergara made its name building barrels for custom rifle shops, and that pedigree shows up here at a production rifle price.
The Monte Carlo style walnut stock is more than good looks. The raised comb and cheekpiece line your eye up naturally behind a scope, which matters since the rifle ships without sights and is clearly meant to wear glass. The stock takes multiple coats of oil for a finish you can touch up yourself after a few seasons, and the checkering on the grip and forend gives you real purchase with cold or wet hands.
The B-14 action is a two-lug design with a coned bolt nose and breech, so rounds feed and extract smoothly cycle after cycle, and the sliding plate extractor keeps everything aligned. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700 style bases, which opens up just about every ring and mount combination on the market. Bergara's performance trigger breaks around three pounds from the factory, clean enough that you are not fighting the rifle when a buck steps out at last light.
The .243 Winchester is a do-it-all cartridge for deer, antelope, and coyotes, with soft recoil that makes this a great pick for newer hunters or anyone who values follow-up shots. Feeding from a 4-round hinged floorplate magazine and weighing in around 7.3 pounds, the Timber balances nicely for still hunting and settles down well off sticks or a pack. It is a traditional rifle built the right way, and it will not embarrass itself at the range either.
No, this rifle ships without sights or optics. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700 style rings and bases, which is about as common a footprint as it gets, so finding a mount setup is easy. The raised Monte Carlo comb on the stock is designed to give you proper eye alignment behind a scope.
No, this model feeds from an internal 4-round magazine with a hinged floorplate. That keeps the lines of the rifle clean and traditional, and the floorplate drops open for quick, safe unloading without cycling rounds through the action.
Absolutely. The .243 Win has been putting whitetails and antelope on the ground for decades, and with quality bonded or copper bullets it does the job cleanly at typical hunting distances. Its light recoil also makes it a favorite for younger hunters and anyone who wants to practice more without getting beat up. The 1:10 twist barrel handles common hunting weights in the 80 to 100 grain range well.
The B-14 series is built at Bergara's factory in Spain, where the company earned its reputation making barrels for the custom rifle market. The B-14 line was created to bring that same barrel quality to a production hunting rifle, and the fit and finish on the Timber reflect it.
