The Bergara B-14R Trainer is a bolt-action .22 LR rifle with a 20-inch stainless steel threaded barrel and a 10-round capacity. The model designation B14RBA003 identifies this as a barreled action configuration rather than a complete rifle. It is designed as a training analog for the centerfire B-14 platform.

The Bergara B-14R Trainer draws consistent interest from precision rifle shooters who want to work bolt-action fundamentals with .22 LR at significantly lower ammunition cost. The explicit "Trainer" designation is the platform's main pitch: the action is intended to replicate the feel of a centerfire B-14 setup for dry-fire and live-fire practice.

The 20-inch stainless threaded barrel gets strong marks from owners who run a suppressor. Accuracy reports are consistently positive within what the .22 LR cartridge can deliver at typical training distances. The recurring criticism is price: the B-14R carries a notable premium over competing .22 LR bolt rifles, which is a real barrier for buyers who don't already shoot within the Bergara ecosystem and can't justify the cost difference.

The barreled action format (as distinct from a complete, stock-included rifle) is a point of confusion for some buyers. Owners who expected a complete rifle and received only the action and barrel are a regular source of negative feedback. Buyers who understand the BA format and intend to drop it into a chosen stock report strong satisfaction with fit, finish, and action smoothness.
