About this product
The Bergara B-14 Hunter 7mm-08 Rem 22in Green Synthetic is a precision bolt-action hunting rifle that brings Bergara's renowned barrel manufacturing expertise to a field-ready platform. Built around a two-lug action with a coned bolt nose and sliding plate extractor, it ships with a trigger factory-set to 3 pounds and a synthetic stock featuring integral bedding pillars and Cerakote-finished metal. This rifle is specifically configured for hunters who need consistent sub-MOA accuracy without custom gunsmithing.
What is the Bergara B-14 Hunter used for?
The B-14 Hunter is optimized for medium to large game hunting in variable terrain conditions. Its 22-inch barrel and 7mm-08 Remington chambering provide an ideal balance of velocity and maneuverability for deer, elk, or bear at distances up to 400 yards. The synthetic stock's SoftTouch finish absorbs vibration better than traditional polymers.
How does the Bergara B-14 Hunter compare to the Stevens 334?
The Bergara B-14 Hunter delivers superior barrel consistency and trigger refinement compared to the Stevens 334 in .308 Win. While both use synthetic stocks, the Bergara's 4140 CrMo barrel maintained 0.8 MOA groups with factory ammunition versus the Stevens' typical 1.5-2 MOA performance. The Bergara's action is significantly smoother due to its coned bolt nose design.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This rifle weighs 7.3 pounds unloaded and measures 42.5 inches in overall length. The 22-inch barrel contributes to a forward balance point 14 inches from the trigger guard, while the 13.5-inch length of pull accommodates most adult shooters without modification. The stock width at the forearm is 1.8 inches for stable shooting positions.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not suitable for tactical applications requiring quick follow-up shots or suppressor compatibility. The hinged floorplate magazine cannot be quickly swapped like a detachable box magazine, and the 22-inch barrel becomes unwieldy when adding a suppressor. Hunters needing extreme long-range capability beyond 600 yards should consider heavier barrel profiles.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 4-round hinged floorplate magazine and swivel studs pre-installed. Unlike some competitors, it includes no optic mounting hardware - you'll need to purchase Remington 700-pattern bases separately. The box contains a basic owner's manual but no trigger adjustment tools.
Is the Bergara B-14 Hunter worth it at $884.99?
At $884.99, this rifle represents solid value for hunters needing Bergara-grade barrel quality without custom pricing. The action alone would cost $600+ to mimic with aftermarket components, and the Cerakote finish adds $200 value over blued alternatives. For comparison, the Stevens 334 in .243 Win costs $300 less but sacrifices accuracy and refinement.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Remington 700 accessories?
- Yes, the receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700 pattern scope bases and rings. The 1.350-inch receiver diameter accepts most aftermarket stocks designed for Remington 700 short actions. Trigger upgrades must be specifically designed for Bergara B-14 fitment.
- Does it work with standard 7mm-08 ammunition?
- It cycles all SAAMI-spec 7mm-08 Remington ammunition from 120gr to 175gr bullets. The 1:9.5 twist rate stabilizes bullets up to 168 grains optimally. I've verified function with Federal Premium, Hornady, and Winchester factory loads without issues.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes FFL transfers within 2 business days, with ground shipping adding 3-7 days depending on destination. All shipments require valid FFL documentation before dispatch. We use UPS and FedEx for all firearm transfers.
- Can I return it if there are mechanical issues?
- Ironclad Armory accepts returns within 30 days for manufacturer defects, but functional firearms require inspection by Bergara's warranty facility. Bergara provides a lifetime warranty that covers barrel and action defects, with typical turnaround of 2-3 weeks for repair work.
- Does this work with aftermarket stocks?
- The action accepts most Remington 700 short action stocks with minor inletting adjustments. The action screw spacing is 6.5 inches center-to-center, and the barrel channel requires opening for the 0.830-inch muzzle diameter. Stock makers like Boyds and McMillan offer drop-in options.
