The Bergara B14 HMR delivers sub-MOA precision in the powerful 7mm PRC cartridge, combining Spanish barrel craftsmanship with American manufacturing. This hunting and match rifle features a 24-inch threaded barrel optimized for long-range performance. Built on Bergara's proven B14 action, it bridges the gap between affordable hunting rifles and premium precision platforms.
What Makes This Different
The HMR (Hunting and Match Rifle) utilizes Bergara's proprietary 5R rifling technology, which reduces bullet deformation and extends barrel life compared to traditional rifling. The 7mm PRC cartridge delivers superior ballistics over the 6.5 Creedmoor with less recoil than magnum cartridges. Bergara machines these barrels in-house using 4140 chrome-moly steel, achieving consistent bore dimensions that many custom barrel makers charge twice the price to deliver.
Key Features
- 24-inch button-rifled barrel with 5R rifling and 1:8 twist rate
- Threaded muzzle (5/8x24 TPI) ready for suppressors or muzzle devices
- AICS-pattern detachable magazine system holds 5 rounds
- Adjustable trigger factory-set between 2.5-4 pounds
- Bergara B14 action with dual-locking lugs and coned bolt nose
- Tan/black synthetic stock with textured grip surfaces
- Picatinny rail machined into receiver for scope mounting
Field testing shows the B14 HMR consistently achieves sub-MOA accuracy with quality ammunition, making it effective for precision shooting competitions and hunting applications out to 800+ yards. The 7mm PRC's flat trajectory and high ballistic coefficient bullets maintain energy downrange better than most hunting cartridges. Weather-resistant Cerakote finish on metal components provides corrosion protection in harsh hunting conditions.
