The Bergara B-14 Hunter delivers precision hunting performance with its cold hammer-forged barrel and ergonomic SoftTouch stock design. This bolt-action rifle combines Spanish barrel craftsmanship with American engineering to create a reliable platform for medium to large game hunting.
What Makes This Different
The B-14 Hunter features Bergara's signature cold hammer-forged barrel technology, which creates a denser, more uniform bore structure compared to traditional button-rifled barrels. The 4140 chrome-moly steel barrel receives a graphite black Cerakote finish that provides superior corrosion resistance and reduces glare in field conditions. The integrated Bergara Performance Trigger system offers a crisp, consistent pull weight that enhances accuracy potential.
