Key Features
- Free-Floated 22-Inch Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: Eliminates stock contact points that throw off harmonics, so you get consistent sub-MOA groups even as the barrel heats up during strings.
- Bergara Performance Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: Adjustable from 1.5 to 3.5 lbs with zero creep means you can dial in a crisp break that matches your competition or hunting setup.
- Omni Multi-Ported Brake — WHY IT MATTERS: Reduces felt recoil by up to 40% (per Bergara specs), keeping you on target for faster follow-up shots in PRS-style stages or heavy cover.
- SoftTouch Woodland Camo Stock — WHY IT MATTERS: The textured finish provides positive grip in wet or muddy conditions, and the camo pattern breaks up your silhouette against brush and timber.
- Factory Drilled and Tapped for Remington 700-Style Optics — WHY IT MATTERS: You can mount any R700-pattern rail or rings without gunsmithing, cutting setup time and keeping zero retention rock-solid.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the shooter who refuses to compromise between weight and accuracy. If you’re running PRS club matches, hunting elk in the Rockies, or building a dedicated 6.5 Creedmoor trainer for long-range practice, the Ridge Wilderness delivers. It’s also a solid pick for anyone transitioning from factory hunting rifles to a more precise platform without stepping into custom-gun pricing.
Pros / Cons
- Pros: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box, adjustable trigger, threaded muzzle with brake, light enough for backcountry carry, R700 footprint for endless aftermarket support.
- Cons: The stock is a synthetic sporter profile — you’ll want to upgrade to a chassis or a laminate stock if you plan to shoot heavy PRS schedules. The brake is effective but loud for range use; ear pro is mandatory.

FAQ
Does the Bergara B-14 Ridge Wilderness come with a scope base?
No, it does not include rings or a base. The action is factory drilled and tapped for Remington 700-style bases. You’ll need to buy a compatible rail or one-piece base separately.
What twist rate is the barrel?
Per Bergara specs, the 22-inch barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, optimized for 6.5 Creedmoor bullets from 120 to 147 grains. That covers everything from light varmint loads to heavy match projectiles.
Is the muzzle brake removable?
Yes. The Omni multi-ported brake is threaded onto a 5/8×24 muzzle. You can remove it with a wrench and install a suppressor or a thread protector. Bergara recommends using a crush washer for reattachment.
Can I use this rifle for PRS competition?
You can, but the sporter stock limits bag support and barricade work. Many shooters drop the barreled action into a chassis like the Bergara Premier or an MDT XRS. The action and trigger are competition-ready; the stock is the bottleneck.
