Description
There's a reason carbon fiber mountain rifles have taken over the backcountry hunting world, and the Bergara B-14 Cima CF in 6.5 PRC is one of the smartest takes on the concept we've seen. Instead of chasing the absolute lightest number on paper with skeletonized parts and titanium price tags, Bergara built a rifle that lands right around 5.9 pounds while keeping everything that makes their guns shoot. The 20 inch CURE carbon fiber barrel is the centerpiece here. Bergara designed the carbon and steel to work together to manage heat, so you get a stiff, light No. 6 taper barrel that holds its zero and doesn't walk shots as it warms up. It comes threaded 5/8×24 with an Omni muzzle brake installed, and the 1:8 twist stabilizes the long, heavy 6.5mm bullets that make the PRC such a capable long range hunting cartridge.
The RTM Stock That Sets the Cima CF Apart
The stock is where this rifle really earns its keep. Built through a Resin Transfer Molding process, it's a 100% carbon fiber sporter stock that weighs a scant 18 ounces on its own. Inside, an SMC carbon mini-chassis gives the action a rigid, precision-fit bedding platform, so accuracy stays consistent whether you're shooting off a bench or wedged against a rock on a windy ridgeline. Length of pull is adjustable too, with three quarter-inch spacers included so you can dial in the fit for your frame or a heavy hunting coat.
Field-Ready Details on the B-14 Cima CF
The action features a spiral fluted bolt and feeds from a 3+1 internal magazine with a hinged M5 floorplate, and the bottom metal inlet lets you convert to AICS-pattern detachable mags down the road if that's your thing. The Bergara Performance Trigger breaks clean and adjusts from 2 to 4 pounds, and the receiver is drilled and tapped on the Remington 700 footprint, so scope base options are everywhere. Finished in Sniper Gray Cerakote over that carbon fiber, it looks as good as it carries. For elk, mule deer, or any hunt where the truck is a long way behind you, this one is tough to beat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Bergara B-14 Cima CF come with sights or a scope?
No, it ships without sights, which is standard for a rifle in this class. The receiver is drilled and tapped on the Remington 700 footprint, so you have a huge selection of bases and rings to choose from. Most buyers pair it with a lightweight hunting scope to keep the overall package under 8 pounds.
Can the Cima CF use detachable magazines?
Out of the box it feeds from a 3+1 internal magazine with a hinged M5 floorplate, which keeps the rifle slim and snag-free for hunting. The bottom metal inlet is cut so it can be converted to accept AICS-pattern detachable magazines with M5 DBM bottom metal if you want more capacity or faster reloads later on.
Is a 20 inch barrel long enough for 6.5 PRC?
You give up a little velocity compared to a 24 inch tube, but the 6.5 PRC still delivers plenty of authority for big game well past typical hunting distances from a 20 inch barrel. The shorter length makes the rifle noticeably handier in timber and easier to pack, and it balances well once you add a suppressor or run the included Omni brake. For a mountain rifle, it's a smart trade.
Is the trigger on the B-14 Cima CF adjustable?
Yes. It uses the Bergara Performance Trigger, which has a pull weight adjustment screw built into the housing that lets you set it anywhere from 2 to 4 pounds. It breaks clean from the factory, so many owners never touch it, but the option is there if you like a lighter or heavier pull.
