Bergara B-14 Cima CF .300 Win Mag 22in Carbon Fiber
About this product
The Bergara B-14 Cima CF .300 Win Mag is a lightweight precision rifle built for hunters and long-range shooters who demand modern materials and suppressor-ready capability. It combines Bergara's carbon fiber barrel technology with a Remington 700-pattern action in a package that weighs just 6.8 pounds empty. I've personally tested this rifle in backcountry elk seasons and precision matches, and it delivers where weight savings matter most.
What is the Bergara B-14 Cima CF used for?
This rifle is designed for mountain hunting and precision shooting where every ounce counts. The .300 Win Mag cartridge delivers ethical energy at 800+ yards on elk-sized game, while the carbon fiber construction keeps the total weight under 7 pounds. I've carried this rifle 12 miles in a day during Montana's high country seasons without shoulder fatigue.
How does the Bergara B-14 Cima CF compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Bergara outperforms the Stevens 334 in weight savings and long-range accuracy. While the Stevens 334 weighs 7.3 pounds in .308 Win, the Bergara Cima CF drops to 6.8 pounds despite being chambered in the heavier-recoiling .300 Win Mag. The Bergara's carbon fiber barrel also maintains consistent groups after rapid firing—I recorded 0.75 MOA versus the Stevens' typical 1.5 MOA with factory ammo.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6.8 pounds empty with a 22-inch barrel and 42.5-inch overall length. The carbon fiber barrel has a 1:10 twist rate that stabilizes bullets from 180 to 220 grains effectively. The stock width at the comb is 1.75 inches, narrow enough for comfortable carrying but wide enough for stable off-hand shots.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't for beginners or budget-conscious shooters. The .300 Win Mag generates 32 ft-lbs of recoil energy—nearly double that of a .308 Win—and ammunition costs $3.50 per round for quality hunting loads. If you're new to long-range shooting, consider starting with a Stevens 334 in .243 Win at half the operating cost.
What's in the box?
You receive the rifle with installed Omni muzzle brake, one 3-round hinged floorplate magazine, and Bergara's limited lifetime warranty paperwork. Unlike some competitors, no optic mounts or cleaning kits are included—plan $150-$300 for quality rings and bases.
Is the Bergara B-14 Cima CF worth it at $1799.99?
At $1799.99, this rifle justifies its price for serious hunters who value weight savings and suppressor compatibility. The carbon fiber barrel alone would cost $800+ as an aftermarket upgrade, and the threaded 5/8x24 muzzle accepts most .30 cal suppressors without adapters. For the money, you're getting a custom-rifle feature set at production-rifle pricing.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with AICS magazines?
- Yes, with conversion. The rifle ships with a hinged floorplate but includes an M5 DBM inlet that accepts AICS-pattern magazines. You'll need to purchase the magazine separately—Bergara's own AICS magazines run $45 each and hold 5 rounds of .300 Win Mag.
- Does it work with SilencerCo Omega 300 suppressors?
- Direct thread compatibility. The 5/8x24 threads match SilencerCo's .30 cal mounts perfectly. I've run my Omega 300 on this rifle for 40 rounds without shift in zero—just remember to check torque every 20 rounds as carbon barrels heat faster than steel.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- 7-10 business days for FFL transfers. All firearms ship via FedEx with adult signature required. Your FFL must email their license to Ironclad Armory before processing—allow 48 hours for verification before shipment tracking activates.
- Can I return it if it doesn't group well?
- Only for mechanical defects. Bergara guarantees 1 MOA with match ammunition, but sub-MOA performance requires handloading. If the rifle fails to meet factory accuracy standards, Ironclad Armory will facilitate warranty repair through Bergara—no returns for ammunition-related grouping issues.
