Pros & cons
What works

About this product
The Bergara B-14 Sierra Wilderness .300 PRC 22 in. Threaded is a precision bolt-action hunting rifle engineered for extreme long-range performance in backcountry conditions. This rifle combines Bergara's renowned barrel-making expertise with a fully adjustable synthetic stock system, designed specifically for shooters who need sub-MOA accuracy when it matters most. The 22-inch fluted barrel and Sniper Grey Cerakote finish make this a durable field rifle ready for mountain hunting.
What is the Bergara B-14 Sierra Wilderness .300 PRC used for?
This rifle is purpose-built for long-range hunting of large game like elk and moose at distances exceeding 500 yards. The .300 PRC cartridge delivers over 3,500 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle, sufficient for ethical takedowns of North America's largest game. The adjustable cheek comb and threaded muzzle make it suppressor-ready for hunters operating in noise-sensitive areas.
How does the Bergara B-14 Sierra Wilderness compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Bergara significantly outperforms the Stevens 334 Rifle in long-range precision, with its 1:9 twist rate and match-grade barrel delivering consistent sub-MOA groups. While the Stevens 334 costs approximately $400 less, the Bergara's barrel life exceeds 3,000 rounds with proper maintenance compared to the Stevens' 1,500-round typical lifespan. For hunters needing precision beyond 300 yards, the Bergara is clearly superior.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.4 lbs (119 ounces) with an overall length of 42.5 inches. The 22-inch barrel has a #5 taper profile with 5/8x24 threading, and the stock features 0.75 inches of LOP adjustment via included spacers. The fluted barrel removes 9 ounces compared to a standard contour while maintaining stiffness.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for beginners or budget-conscious shooters who don't need long-range capability. The .300 PRC ammunition costs $3.50-5.00 per round, making practice sessions expensive compared to more common calibers. Hunters who rarely shoot beyond 200 yards would be better served by the Stevens 334 in .243 Win at half the cost.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with the Omni muzzle brake installed, three LOP spacers for stock adjustment, and the standard factory warranty paperwork. Bergara includes torque specifications for the 8-40 scope mount screws but omits the often-needed 20 MOA rail that competitors include at this price point.
Is the Bergara B-14 Sierra Wilderness worth it at $999.99?
At $999.99, this rifle represents excellent value for serious hunters needing long-range capability. The action is built on a modified Remington 700 footprint, allowing compatibility with thousands of aftermarket triggers and chassis systems. Compared to custom builds starting at $2,500, the Bergara delivers 90% of the performance at 40% of the cost.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel threaded for suppressors?
- Yes, the barrel features standard 5/8x24 threading compatible with most .30 caliber suppressors. The threads are cut to SAE specifications with 0.050" shoulder clearance. You'll need to file ATF Form 4 and wait approximately 9 months for suppressor approval.
- Does it come with scope mounts?
- No, the receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Remington 700 pattern bases but mounts are not included. I recommend Warne or Talley bases using 8-40 screws torqued to 25 in-lbs. The factory provides torque specs but you'll need to purchase bases separately.
- What's the magazine capacity?
- The hinged floorplate holds 3 rounds of .300 PRC, which is standard for hunting rifles in this caliber. Aftermarket AICS-pattern bottom metal from companies like Hawkins Precision can increase capacity to 5 rounds but adds $350-500 to the total cost.
- How long is shipping for this rifle?
- FFL shipments typically take 3-5 business days after background check clearance. All firearms ship via FedEx with adult signature required. Your local FFL dealer must provide their license before we can process the shipment.
- Can I return it if it doesn't group well?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unfired rifles in original packaging. Once fired, we can only accept returns for verifiable manufacturing defects. Bergara guarantees sub-MOA accuracy with match ammunition, which we verify before approving any accuracy-related returns.
