Description
The 7mm PRC has earned its spot as one of the best long-range hunting cartridges going, and the B-14 Wilderness HMR gives it a proper home. Bergara builds their barrels in Spain at the same factory that made their name in the custom rifle world, and this one is a 24-inch No. 6 taper in 4140 chrome-moly steel with a 1:8 twist that stabilizes the heavy, high-BC bullets the 7 PRC was designed around. It comes threaded 5/8×24 with Bergara's Omni multi-ported muzzle brake already installed, which knocks felt recoil down considerably. On a magnum cartridge like this, you will appreciate that by the third box of ammo.
Wilderness HMR Stock: Where Hunting Meets Match
HMR stands for Hunting and Match Rifle, and the stock is what separates it from a standard hunting gun. There is a mini-chassis molded right into it, so the action beds the same way every time you torque it down, and the barrel stays fully free-floated. You get an adjustable cheekpiece to line up behind whatever glass you mount, length-of-pull spacers to fit it to your frame, and QD flush cups for quick sling swaps. The Wilderness version wears a hand-painted camo finish with added webbing for grip, and the entire barreled action is coated in Sniper Grey Cerakote to fend off rain, snow, and pack-out abuse.
Smooth B-14 Action, Clean Bergara Trigger
The B-14 action is a two-lug design with a sliding plate extractor and coned bolt nose, and it runs slick right out of the box. Feeding comes from a detachable AICS-pattern magazine, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700 style rings and bases, so scope mounting options are everywhere. The Bergara Performance Trigger breaks crisp with no gritty take-up, which makes wringing out the accuracy this barrel is capable of a lot easier. At roughly ten pounds it is more of a deliberate, shoot-from-a-rest rifle than an ultralight sheep gun, and that extra heft pays off in stability when you are stretching shots across a canyon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Bergara B-14 Wilderness HMR come with a muzzle brake?
Yes, the Omni multi-ported muzzle brake comes factory installed on the 5/8×24 threaded muzzle. Bergara rates it to cut felt recoil substantially, which makes a real difference with the 7mm PRC. If you would rather run a suppressor, the brake spins off and the common 5/8×24 thread pattern fits most cans and mounts.
What scope mounts fit the B-14 Wilderness HMR?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700 pattern rings and bases, which is about the most widely supported footprint out there. You can run a one-piece rail or two-piece bases from just about any major mount maker. Note the rifle ships without a rail, so plan on picking one up with your optic.
Is the 7mm PRC a good choice for elk and other big game?
It is one of the top picks right now for western big game. The cartridge pushes heavy, high-BC 7mm bullets fast enough to carry energy well past 500 yards while recoiling less than the big .30 magnums. The 1:8 twist on this barrel handles the long 175 to 180 grain bullets the cartridge was built around.
Can you adjust the stock on the Wilderness HMR to fit different shooters?
Yes, the HMR stock includes an adjustable cheekpiece so you can set your eye right behind the scope, plus length-of-pull spacers to lengthen or shorten the pull. QD flush cups are also molded in for easy sling attachment. It is one of the more adaptable factory hunting stocks you will find.
