Description
Left-handed folks who shoot long range know the struggle of settling for right-handed actions or paying custom shop money for a proper southpaw rifle. Bergara fixed that with this B-14 HMR, a genuine left-hand bolt action chambered in .22-250 Remington. The HMR name stands for Hunting and Match Rifle, and that dual-purpose design shows up everywhere on this gun. It works just as well stretched out on prairie dog towns as it does punching steel at distance.
The Barrel Is Where Bergara Earns Its Reputation
The 24-inch 4140 chrome-moly barrel is a #6 taper with a 1:9 twist, fully free-floated and finished in Graphite Black Cerakote along with the receiver. Bergara built its name making barrels for custom rifle builders before producing complete rifles, and that pedigree is a big reason these guns shoot the way they do. The muzzle comes threaded 5/8-24 with a knurled thread protector, so adding a brake or suppressor takes minutes. Paired with the .22-250, which sends light bullets screaming downrange with minimal drop, you have a serious setup for coyotes, groundhogs, and long-range varmint work.
B-14 HMR Stock and Action Details
The molded stock hides an integrated mini-chassis that gives the action a consistent, repeatable bedding surface, which is a big part of why the HMR holds zero and groups so well. An adjustable cheekpiece and length-of-pull spacers let you dial the fit to your build and your optic height, and QD flush cups make sling swaps quick. The B-14 action is a smooth two-lug design with a coned bolt nose and sliding plate extractor for reliable feeding and extraction, and the Bergara Performance Trigger breaks clean at roughly three pounds from the factory. Feeding comes from a detachable 5-round AICS-pattern magazine, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700 pattern bases, so scope mounting options are nearly endless. For a lefty who wants match-grade features without a custom build, this one checks every box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Bergara B-14 HMR LH a true left-handed rifle?
Yes, this is a genuine left-hand configuration, not a right-handed action with a swapped safety. The bolt handle and ejection port are set up for left-handed operation, so you can run the bolt with your dominant hand and stay on target between shots. That is a big deal since true lefty precision rifles are hard to come by at this level.
What scope mounts fit the B-14 HMR in .22-250?
The receiver is drilled and tapped to accept Remington 700 pattern rings and bases, which is about the most common footprint in the industry. That means you have a huge selection of one-piece rails and ring sets to choose from. Most owners go with a 20 MOA Rem 700 pattern rail to get the most out of the cartridge at distance.
Can I put a suppressor or muzzle brake on this rifle?
Yes. The 24-inch barrel comes threaded 5/8-24 from the factory, which is the standard thread pitch for most .30 caliber and smaller muzzle devices. A knurled thread protector is included to keep the threads clean when you are running the bare muzzle.
Is the B-14 HMR better suited for hunting or target work?
It genuinely does both, which is the whole point of the Hunting and Match Rifle concept. The heavier #6 taper barrel and mini-chassis stock give it match-grade consistency, while the .22-250 chambering makes it a natural for coyotes and varmints. At around 9.7 pounds it leans toward stand, blind, or prone shooting rather than long mountain hikes.
