Bergara B-14 Ridge Rifle Threaded Barrel Matte, Gray

The Bergara B-14 Ridge Rifle in matte gray with a threaded barrel is a precision bolt action built for shooters who demand real accuracy without a custom shop price tag. It carries a 22 inch threaded barrel with 5/8-24 threads, a synthetic stock, and the Bergara Performance Trigger. Capacity is 4+1, overall length is 41.5 inches, and the rifle weighs 7.4 pounds. Bergara built its name on barrels, and that heritage is the whole reason this rifle shoots the way it does.

What the Bergara B-14 Ridge Rifle Is Built For

This is a hunting and sport shooting rifle first. The matte gray finish keeps glare down in the field, the synthetic stock shrugs off weather that would move a wood stock, and the threaded muzzle leaves the door open for a brake or a suppressor when you want one.

Caliber options include .308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 7mm-08 Rem, which covers North American big game from whitetail through elk with the right load. Those three chamberings also happen to be among the easiest to feed, both at the range and at the reloading bench.

Features That Define This Bolt Action

The Bergara B-14 Ridge Rifle combines modern manufacturing with traditional bolt gun virtues.

• 22 inch threaded barrel with 5/8-24 threads and a thread protector included
• Bergara Performance Trigger for a clean, consistent break
• Synthetic stock that resists moisture, temperature swings, and hard field handling
• Matte gray finish that cuts reflection in bright conditions
• 4+1 capacity in a proven bolt action layout
• 7.4 pound weight that balances carry comfort against recoil management

Specifications and What They Mean on Paper

The 22 inch barrel is the traditional compromise length for these chamberings, long enough to burn powder efficiently and short enough to carry through timber without catching on branches. Twist rate varies by caliber, which is exactly what you want, since 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Win have very different bullet stabilization needs.

Overall length of 41.5 inches and a 7.4 pound bare weight put this rifle in the sweet spot for a walking hunter. Add an optic, rings, and a sling and you are still under the weight where most people start leaving the rifle in the truck.

The 5/8-24 thread pitch is the standard for .30 caliber and 6.5mm rifles in the United States, so muzzle device selection is wide open. Compare it against the rest of our inventory in the firearms collection before you decide.

Practical Use, Optics, and Care

Mount quality glass and quality rings, then torque everything to spec. A rifle capable of tight groups will still print like a shotgun if the scope base is loose, and base screws are the single most common cause of mystery flyers on a new build.

Break in the barrel according to the maker’s recommendation, then find the load your particular rifle likes. Bolt guns are individuals. Two rifles off the same line can prefer different bullet weights, and the only way to learn yours is to shoot groups and keep notes.

Clean the bore from the chamber end with a bore guide, which protects the crown and keeps solvent out of the trigger group. Wipe the bolt body and lugs, apply a light film of grease to the lugs, and keep the action screws checked. Store the rifle in a dry place with a light coat of oil on exposed metal.

If you thread on a brake or a suppressor, expect the point of impact to shift and plan to reconfirm zero. That is normal behavior for the Bergara B-14 Ridge Rifle or any other threaded barrel rifle, not a defect.

Craftsmanship, a good trigger, and a barrel with a reputation behind it add up to a rifle that punches far above its weight. Like every firearm, it ships to your local licensed dealer for transfer after your background check.
