Description
There's something about a walnut stock and a deep black barrel that just feels right in the deer woods, and the Bergara B-14 Timber nails that look without giving up an ounce of modern performance. The heart of this rifle is the barrel, and that's exactly where Bergara made its name. The 20 inch 4140 chrome moly tube is made in Bergara's barrel facility in Spain, honed to a level of consistency you usually see on custom builds, and finished in Graphite Black Cerakote to shrug off rain, sweat, and truck bed scuffs. Bergara backs every B-14 with a guarantee of 1 MOA or better at 100 yards with quality factory match ammo, which is a bold promise for a wood stocked hunting rifle.
Inside the B-14 Timber Action
The B-14 action is a two lug design with a coned bolt nose and a sliding plate extractor, and it runs noticeably smoother than most production rifles in this class. It rides in a Remington 700 footprint, so the receiver comes drilled and tapped for common 700 style bases and rings, which makes scoping it up simple and cheap. Bergara's curved Performance trigger breaks clean at right around three pounds from the factory, no gritty creep to fight through when a buck steps out.
Walnut Done Right
The Monte Carlo stock features a raised comb and cheekpiece that lines your eye up naturally behind a scope, and it isn't just pretty wood. Bergara machines oversized holes in the stock, fills them with metal infused epoxy, then CNC machines the cured pillars to tight tolerances. The result is a pillar bedded action that holds zero the way a hunting rifle should.
A .308 Built for the Field
Chambered in .308 Win with a 1:10 twist that stabilizes everything from light varmint loads to heavy 180 grain bullets, the Timber feeds from a clean 4 round internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, so there's nothing hanging below the stock to snag on brush. At 39.5 inches overall with the 20 inch barrel, it carries well in a blind, on a sling, or through thick timber where a longer rifle gets clumsy.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the Bergara B-14 Timber?
Bergara guarantees every B-14 rifle will shoot 1 MOA or better at 100 yards with quality factory match grade ammunition. That's a real guarantee, not marketing talk, and it comes from the same barrel making know-how Bergara built its custom rifle reputation on. Plenty of owners report groups well under that mark once they find a load their rifle likes.
What scope mounts fit the B-14 Timber?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700 style bases and rings using 6-48 screws. Since the Rem 700 footprint is about the most common mounting pattern out there, you'll have no trouble finding rails, bases, and rings at any price point. Just make sure you grab short action 700 pattern hardware for this .308 model.
Does the B-14 Timber use a detachable magazine?
No, this model feeds from a 4 round internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate. The upside is a clean, flush bottom with nothing to snag on brush or fall out in the field, and the floorplate lets you dump rounds quickly without cycling each one through the action. If you prefer detachable mags, Bergara offers other B-14 configurations with them.
Is the 20 inch barrel long enough for .308 hunting distances?
Absolutely. The .308 Win is an efficient cartridge that gives up very little velocity in a 20 inch tube, and you'll still have plenty of energy for deer, hogs, and black bear at typical hunting ranges. The shorter barrel also makes the rifle quicker to handle in blinds, tree stands, and thick cover, which is where a lot of shots happen anyway.
