Description
The .300 PRC has become a favorite among western hunters and long-range enthusiasts for good reason, and the Bergara B-14 Wilderness Ridge gives that cartridge a proper home. Bergara built the Wilderness series to slot between the standard B-14 line and their Premier rifles, and it shows. You get a 24 inch, free-floated 4140 chrome-moly barrel in a No. 5 taper, finished in Sniper Grey Cerakote to shrug off wet weather, snow, and the general abuse that comes with hunting far from the truck. The 1:9 twist stabilizes the heavy, high-BC bullets that make the .300 PRC shine at distance.
Taming the .300 PRC with the Omni Muzzle Brake
Magnum cartridges kick, there is no way around it, but the seamless, omnidirectional multi-ported Omni brake on this rifle knocks felt recoil down by as much as 35 percent. That means you can stay in the scope, spot your own hits, and get through a range session without dreading the next trigger press. The barrel is threaded 5/8-24, so if you prefer to run a suppressor instead, swapping is simple.
Built Around the B-14 Wilderness Ridge Action
The heart of this rifle is Bergara's smooth two-lug B-14 action with a sliding plate extractor and coned bolt nose, which feeds and extracts the long .300 PRC case reliably even when your hands are cold and the pace is fast. The Bergara Performance trigger breaks clean without a bunch of creep, and a hinged floor plate makes unloading at the end of the day quick and painless. The receiver comes drilled and tapped for Remington 700 style bases with 6-48 screws, so mounting glass is about as easy as it gets.
Ready for the Backcountry
The American-style synthetic stock wears a hand-painted woodland camo finish with SoftTouch texture and added webbing, giving you a secure grip in rain, snow, or sweat. At 7.9 pounds bare, with a 46 inch overall length and a 2+1 capacity, this is a purposeful mountain rig for elk, mule deer, moose, and anything else that lives where the roads end.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Bergara B-14 Wilderness Ridge come with scope mounts or sights?
No, the rifle ships without sights or bases. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700 style bases using 6-48 screws, which is one of the most common mounting patterns out there. That gives you a huge selection of rings, bases, and one-piece rails to choose from.
How much does the Omni muzzle brake reduce recoil on this .300 PRC?
Bergara rates the Omni brake at up to a 35 percent reduction in felt recoil. On a magnum like the .300 PRC that makes a real difference, bringing the push down closer to what you would expect from a standard short-action cartridge. The brake is omnidirectional and multi-ported, and the 5/8-24 threading means you can remove it and run a suppressor or thread protector instead.
Does the B-14 Wilderness Ridge use a detachable magazine?
No, this model feeds from an internal magazine with a hinged floor plate, holding 2 rounds plus one in the chamber. The floor plate design keeps the rifle slim for carrying and lets you dump rounds quickly and safely at the end of a hunt without cycling them through the action.
Is the 1:9 twist rate good for heavy .300 PRC bullets?
Yes, the 1:9 twist is exactly what the .300 PRC was designed around. It stabilizes the long, heavy, high-BC bullets in the 212 to 230 grain range that give this cartridge its excellent long-range performance. Most factory .300 PRC loads are built with that twist in mind, so you should have no trouble finding ammo it shoots well.
