The Bergara B-14 Crest Carbon is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .308 Win. The 20-inch fluted barrel is paired with a fixed Monte Carlo carbon fiber stock. At approximately 6.80 lbs it's lighter than most .308 bolt guns of comparable barrel length. The Omni muzzle brake is standard.

Features 

 
The carbon fiber stock is the primary weight-reduction measure. It's fixed with a Monte Carlo cheekpiece that gives a consistent comb height for scope use. The 1:10" twist rate stabilizes standard .308 bullet weights. The Omni muzzle brake reduces recoil and allows faster follow-up shots. Sniper Gray Cerakote over the metal components handles field exposure without adding weight. 
 
Capacity at 3+1 is lower than some competing platforms. The fixed stock doesn't adjust for length of pull, which suits most shooters but may require pad modification for those at the extremes.

The B-14 Crest Carbon in .308 draws the same accuracy praise as other Bergara B-14 variants. Out-of-the-box performance is the recurring theme. Owners consistently report good groups without extensive load development.

The carbon fiber stock is the most frequently mentioned feature. Owners who prioritize weight for field carry appreciate the ~6.80 lb package for a .308 bolt rifle. The fixed Monte Carlo stock ergonomics get positive marks for scope alignment.

The Omni brake is noted positively for recoil reduction. It makes .308 recoil manageable for extended shooting, though owners note it increases muzzle blast and noise as a trade-off.

Pricing is described as high but generally considered appropriate for the accuracy-per-dollar relative to similarly-priced alternatives. Availability and wait times come up occasionally for specific configurations. Customer service feedback with Bergara is mixed.
