The Bergara B-14 Timber delivers precision hunting performance with Spanish barrel-making expertise in a classic American hunting rifle configuration. This 308 Winchester combines sub-MOA accuracy potential with traditional aesthetics for serious hunters and precision shooters.
What Makes This Different
Bergara's hammer-forged barrels undergo a proprietary stress-relief process that eliminates internal tensions found in standard button-rifled barrels. The 4140 chromoly steel construction with 5R rifling provides consistent velocities and extended barrel life compared to conventional 6-groove designs. Factory testing shows sub-MOA accuracy with match-grade ammunition, backed by Bergara's reputation for precision manufacturing.
