Bergara B-14 Ridge .300 PRC Bolt Action Rifle 24″ Threaded Barrel

Description

Bergara made its name building barrels for some of the biggest rifle makers in the world before it ever put its own name on a receiver, and that heritage shows up in the B-14 Ridge. Chambered in .300 PRC, this rifle takes one of the best long-range hunting cartridges going and puts it behind a 24-inch #5 contour barrel finished in Graphite Black Cerakote. The muzzle comes threaded 5/8×24, so adding a brake to tame magnum recoil or hanging a suppressor for quieter mornings takes about a minute.

What Makes the B-14 Ridge Worth a Look

The B-14 action is a smooth-running two-lug design with a sliding plate extractor and a coned bolt nose and breech, which means cartridges feed and eject cleanly even when you are working the bolt fast with cold hands. Bergara's curved performance trigger comes from the factory set around three pounds, breaking clean without the gritty creep you find on a lot of production hunting rifles. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700 pattern bases, so mounting glass is simple and your options for rings and rails are nearly endless.

Built for Real Hunts, Not Just the Bench

The American-style stock is molded from glass fiber reinforced polymer with a SoftTouch finish that gives you a grippy, comfortable feel in rain, snow, or sweaty September heat. Feeding comes from an internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate, keeping the rifle's belly slick and snag-free for stalking, with 2+1 capacity on tap. At roughly 7.7 pounds bare, it carries well for a magnum rifle without being so light that the .300 PRC beats you up.

Ridge .300 PRC Accuracy You Can Count On

Like the rest of the B-14 line, this rifle is backed by Bergara's accuracy guarantee when fed quality factory match-grade ammo. Pair it with a solid scope and a load like Hornady's 212-grain ELD-X and you have an elk, mule deer, and open-country rig that stays lethal well past where most hunting rifles run out of steam.
