Description
There is something about a walnut stock and a .30-06 that just feels right, and the Bergara B-14 Timber nails that classic combination while quietly packing in modern accuracy. The heart of this rifle is a 24 inch 4140 chrome moly barrel made in Bergara's Spanish factory, the same place that turns out barrels trusted by custom builders around the world. It wears a Graphite Black Cerakote finish, so the metal shrugs off wet mornings and rough truck rides a lot better than traditional bluing ever did. The 1:10 twist stabilizes the full range of .30-06 bullet weights, from light deer loads up to heavy stuff for elk and moose.
Why the B-14 Timber Shoots Like It Costs More
The B-14 action is a two-lug design with a sliding plate extractor and coned bolt nose, and it cycles noticeably smooth right out of the box. Bergara's Performance trigger breaks clean at around three pounds, which goes a long way toward wringing out the accuracy this barrel is capable of. Underneath the wood, the stock is machined around solid epoxy pillars at the action screws, giving you real pillar bedding stability in a production rifle. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700 pattern bases, so scope mounting options are about as wide open as it gets.
A Walnut Stock Built for the Field, Not the Safe
The Monte Carlo style walnut stock has a raised comb and cheekpiece that lines your eye up naturally behind a scope, plus cut checkering on the grip and forend for a sure hold with cold or gloved hands. The oil finish looks sharp without being fussy about scratches. Rounds feed from an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, four rounds down plus one in the chamber, and unloading at the end of the day is as simple as dropping the plate. At 7.6 pounds bare and 44 inches overall, it carries comfortably on a sling all day, and the extra heft settles nicely for offhand and rested shots alike. For deer camp, elk country, or a do-everything rifle that will get handed down, this one earns its spot in the rack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Bergara B-14 Timber come with sights or a scope?
No, this rifle ships without iron sights or optics. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700 pattern bases using 6-48 screws, which means nearly every ring and base combo on the market will fit. Plan on adding a quality scope to get the most out of the Bergara barrel.
Does the B-14 Timber use a detachable magazine?
This model feeds from an internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate, holding four rounds plus one in the chamber. The floorplate drops open for quick, safe unloading without cycling rounds through the action. Many hunters prefer this setup since there is no detachable mag to lose in the field.
How accurate is the Bergara B-14 Timber in .30-06?
Bergara built its reputation on barrels, and the B-14 line carries that DNA. Between the Spanish-made 4140 CrMo barrel, the epoxy pillar bedded stock, and a Performance trigger breaking around three pounds, this rifle consistently delivers hunting accuracy that punches above its class. With ammo it likes, sub-MOA groups are a realistic expectation.
Is the 1:10 twist good for heavier .30-06 bullets?
Yes, the 1:10 twist is the standard for .30-06 and handles the full spectrum of common bullet weights. It stabilizes everything from 150 grain deer loads to 180 and 200 grain bullets suited for elk and moose. That flexibility is a big part of why the .30-06 remains such a popular all-around big-game cartridge.
