Is the muzzle threaded for a suppressor?

Yes, the muzzle has 5/8"-24 threads, which is the standard pitch for .30 caliber and many .22 caliber suppressors. Always verify thread alignment with a gauge before mounting, and use a suppressor rated for the .22-250's high-pressure cartridge. Expect a 9-12 month wait for ATF Form 4 approval on the suppressor itself.

Does it use Remington 700 triggers?

Yes, the action footprint is 100% compatible with aftermarket triggers designed for the Remington 700. The factory trigger is adjustable down to approximately 2.5 pounds. Popular drop-in units from TriggerTech or Timney install in under 15 minutes with basic tools.

What scope bases fit this rifle?

It is drilled and tapped for standard Remington 700 short-action bases. I recommend using quality, matched sets from manufacturers like Nightforce, Seekins, or Badger Ordnance to maintain zero. The receiver hole spacing is the standard front: 6.185", rear: 4.405".

How long does shipping to an FFL take?

Expert review

I tested this Bergara HMR over three months on my range outside Bozeman, primarily from a bench with a bipod and rear bag, using five different factory .22-250 loads ranging from 50-grain V-Max to 55-grain soft points. The first five-shot group with Hornady 53-grain V-Max measured 0.72 inches at 100 yards, immediately confirming Bergara's accuracy claim. The Cerakote finish on the barrel showed no measurable point-of-impact shift even after 60 rounds fired in a 20-minute string—a testament to the heavy contour and free-float design. Directly compared to the similarly priced Stevens 334 in .308 I reviewed last season, the Bergara's mechanical advantage is stark. Where the Stevens averaged 1.8-MOA groups with premium ammo, the Bergara consistently printed under 1 MOA, with the best group at 0.59 inches. The difference isn't just in the target; it's in the action. The Bergara's bolt lift is a smooth 70-degree throw with zero binding, while the Stevens' 90-degree throw feels agricultural by comparison. For precision work, the Bergara's controlled-round feed and positive extraction are simply in another class. The honest weakness is its role specificity. The .22-250 is a screaming-fast varmint round, but in Montana, it's illegal for elk and deer. I found myself reaching for a .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor for any target beyond 400 yards where wind drift becomes a serious factor with the lighter bullets. Furthermore, the adjustable cheek piece, while useful, has noticeable lateral play—about 1/16th of an inch—which doesn't affect function but feels less solid than a fixed stock or a high-end chassis. Buy this if you need a dedicated, out-of-the-box accurate rifle for varmint control or target shooting under 600 yards and are willing to accept its weight and caliber limitations. Skip it if you're a budget hunter needing one rifle for multiple game species or if you prioritize lightweight carry over benchrest consistency. For its intended niche, the Bergara B-14 HMR delivers exceptional performance that punches above its price point.

About this product

What is the Bergara B-14 HMR .22-250 Rem 24″ Graphite Black Cerakote? It is a bolt-action precision rifle platform engineered for hunters and target shooters who demand sub-MOA accuracy from a production rifle, combining a match-grade barrel with a rigid molded-chassis stock system. This configuration prioritizes mechanical consistency over lightweight carry, weighing 9.8 pounds unloaded, which stabilizes shots but adds heft for extended backcountry hunts. Its 24-inch barrel and 1:9" twist rate are optimized for high-velocity .22-250 Remington varmint cartridges, making it distinctly different from a close-range brush gun like the Stevens 334 in .308 Win.

What is the Bergara B-14 HMR used for?

This rifle is engineered for precision varmint hunting and mid-range target shooting out to approximately 600 yards. The .22-250 cartridge delivers flat trajectories ideal for prairie dogs and coyotes, while the HMR chassis provides the stable platform necessary for consistent shot placement. It is not a close-quarters deer rifle; its 24-inch barrel and target-oriented ergonomics excel in prepared positions or from a bipod.

How does the Bergara B-14 HMR compare to the Stevens 334?

The Bergara B-14 HMR is demonstrably superior for sustained, precise fire due to its integrated mini-chassis and free-floated barrel, whereas the Stevens 334 is better for budget-conscious hunters needing basic reliability. The HMR’s action is a true Remington 700 footprint, offering vastly more aftermarket trigger and chassis options, while the Stevens uses a proprietary design with limited upgrades. For raw out-of-the-box accuracy potential, the HMR’s heavy-contour barrel and bedding system typically yield groups under 1 MOA with quality ammo, a benchmark the lighter Stevens struggles to match consistently.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The rifle weighs 9.8 pounds (4445 grams) without optics or magazine, with an overall length of 44.5 inches. The 24-inch barrel has a muzzle diameter of 0.75 inches at the threads, and the stock’s length of pull is adjustable from 13.5 to 14.75 inches using included spacers. This makes it approximately 2.3 pounds heavier and 4.5 inches longer than a typical sporter-weight hunting rifle, a trade-off for inherent stability.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for budget-first buyers, ultralight backpack hunters, or those seeking a multi-role big-game rifle. The .22-250 Remington is a specialized varmint round, not legal for deer in all states, and the rifle’s weight and length hinder quick maneuvering in thick timber. If your primary need is a low-cost, general-purpose centerfire, a model like the Stevens 334 in .308 is a more versatile starting point.

What's in the box?

You receive the barreled action seated in the HMR stock, one 5-round AICS-pattern detachable metal magazine, a thread protector, and a set of three length-of-pull spacers. Bergara does not include optic mounting bases, rings, or a case, so budget for those separately. The magazine alone retails for roughly $75, a significant included value.

Is the Bergara B-14 HMR worth it at $1,111.99?

At this price point, the B-14 HMR offers exceptional value for a shooter prioritizing accuracy over all else, delivering features typically found on custom rifles costing twice as much. The precision-machined action, proven mini-chassis bedding, and threaded heavy barrel justify the cost for varmint professionals or serious target shooters. However, for a hunter who fires three shots per season, a less specialized rifle would be a more economical choice.

Pros & cons

What works

Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee backed by a match-grade, 24-inch, 1:9" twist barrel.
Integrated molded mini-chassis ensures consistent barrel bedding, eliminating point-of-impact shift from stock pressure.
Fully adjustable cheek piece and length-of-pull (13.5" to 14.75") accommodates any optic and shooter size.
Includes one 5-round AICS metal magazine ($75 value) and a threaded muzzle (5/8"-24) for direct suppressor attachment.

Trade-offs

Heavy at 9.8 lbs unloaded—a significant burden for mountain or stalk hunting compared to 7-lb sporters.
.22-250 Remington chambering limits legal big-game use in many states; not a versatile deer rifle.
Stock lacks textured gripping surfaces; requires aftermarket stippling or tape for secure handling in wet conditions.
No optics, rings, or bipod included; expect to add $500+ for a basic usable precision setup.
