Features 

 
The mini-chassis molded into the stock provides repeatable bedding, which is one of the main reasons this rifle tends to shoot well without expensive gunsmithing work. The 26-inch barrel in 4140 CrMo steel is free-floating and threaded for a Bergara Omni muzzle brake. Integrated QD flush cup mounts on the stock make sling attachment straightforward. The adjustable cheek rest lets you dial in eye alignment for different optics without shimming.

The B-14 Wilderness HMR in .300 PRC has a solid reputation for out-of-the-box accuracy -- shooters frequently report good groups without needing to bed the action or swap the trigger. Build quality and the Cerakote finish hold up well in field conditions. The stock design and adjustable cheek rest are generally comfortable.

The rifle's main drawback is weight: 9.9 lbs before optics and a sling is on the heavy end for a hunting rifle. That's a real tradeoff if you're covering miles on foot. A few owners also want a lighter factory trigger pull, though the 3-lb Performance Trigger is serviceable and consistent.

I picked up the Bergara B-14 Wilderness HMR Gen 1 in .300 PRC, and it’s quickly become one of my favorites. I love how versatile it is—perfect for both hunting and shooting steel at long range without wearing down my hunting rifle barrels. The 26-inch barrel is a key difference from the standard HMR, and that extra 2 inches does wonders for bullet velocity, especially as a hand loader. This rifle’s smooth bolt action, adjustable stock, and rock-solid mini-chassis make it feel like a premium gun without the ridiculous price tag. It's a bit heavy for mountain hunting, but perfect for stand hunting or matches. Out of the box, I’m getting sub-MOA groups with Hornady Precision Hunter. Bergara really nailed it with this one, offering accuracy and reliability at a solid price. Highly recommend!
