Description
HMR stands for Hunting and Match Rifle, and that name tells you exactly what Bergara was going for here. This is a rifle that can ride in a truck through elk season, then punch tight groups at a steel match the following weekend. Chambered in .308 Winchester with a 20-inch No. 6 taper barrel, it comes backed by Bergara's sub-MOA guarantee with factory match ammo, and the folks who own these will tell you the barrels routinely deliver on that promise. The 1:10 twist stabilizes the heavier match bullets that .308 loves, and the 5/8×24 threaded muzzle wears an Omni multi-ported brake that cuts felt recoil noticeably. Prefer to run a suppressor? Spin the brake off and you're ready to go.
What Sets the Wilderness HMR Apart
The Wilderness treatment is more than a paint job. The entire barreled action is coated in Sniper Grey Cerakote for serious corrosion resistance, and the hand-painted camo stock has molded-in webbing that gives your hands real texture when things get wet or cold. Inside that stock sits Bergara's integrated mini-chassis, a full-length aluminum spine that gives the action repeatable bedding shot after shot. The stock also adjusts to fit you, with a movable cheekpiece and length of pull spacers that take it from 12.25 to 14.5 inches, plus flush cup QD mounts for quick sling swaps.
Running the B-14 Action
Bergara's two-lug B-14 action is one of the smoothest in its price class, with a coned bolt nose and breech plus a sliding plate extractor for reliable feeding and extraction. The fluted bolt keeps cycling slick, and the Bergara Performance Trigger breaks clean without any mushiness. Feeding comes from a 5-round AICS-pattern detachable magazine, so aftermarket mags are easy to find. The receiver is drilled and tapped on the Remington 700 footprint, which means scope bases and rails are everywhere. At roughly 9.5 pounds bare, it carries more like a crossover rig than a featherweight mountain rifle, and that extra heft pays off with a steadier hold and softer recoil when it matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Bergara B-14 Wilderness HMR guaranteed to shoot sub-MOA?
Yes. Bergara backs every B-14 Wilderness rifle with a sub-1.0 MOA guarantee at 100 yards using factory match-grade ammunition. Their barrel-making reputation is the backbone of the brand, and owners consistently report these rifles meeting or beating that standard with quality ammo.
Can I mount a suppressor on the B-14 Wilderness HMR?
You can. The 20-inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard pattern for most .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle devices. Just remove the factory Omni brake and thread on your can, and the included thread protector covers the muzzle when you're running it bare.
What scope mounts fit the Wilderness HMR in .308?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700-pattern bases, which is about as universal as it gets. Any 700 short action rail or ring set will bolt right up, so you have a huge range of options from budget-friendly to precision-grade. No iron sights are included, so plan on adding an optic.
Is the stock adjustable on the Bergara B-14 Wilderness HMR?
Yes, and it's one of the best features on this rifle. The cheekpiece adjusts for height so you can get proper eye alignment behind your scope, and included length of pull spacers let you set the stock anywhere from 12.25 to 14.5 inches. It also has flush cup QD mounts built in for sling attachment.
