Description
The Bergara B-14 Timber .308 Win Walnut Monte Carlo Rifle is a purpose-built hunting rifle that honors the traditions of American gunsmithing while delivering the precision Bergara is known for. Chambered in the versatile .308 Winchester, this rifle pairs Bergara’s own cold-hammer-forged barrel—produced in their Spanish factory with over 60 years of barrel-making heritage—with a Grade-A walnut Monte Carlo stock that feels as right in the hands as it looks in the rack. The Graphite Black Cerakote finish on the barrel protects against the elements, and the hinged floorplate, Sako-style extractor, and pillar-bedded stock make this a field-ready companion for the hunter who demands reliability and accuracy. At $1,149.99, the B-14 Timber is a serious investment in a rifle that will serve for generations.

Key Features
- Bergara Performance Trigger — Factory-set to a crisp, clean pull with zero creep. Why it matters: A consistent trigger break is the single most important factor in field accuracy, and this trigger eliminates the guesswork when the shot counts.
- Cold-Hammer-Forged Barrel with Cerakote Finish — Bergara’s proprietary barrel-making process produces a barrel that is both accurate and durable. The Graphite Black Cerakote adds corrosion resistance. Why it matters: A barrel that holds its zero through rain, mud, and temperature swings is what separates a hunting rifle from a range toy.
- Pillar-Bedded Walnut Monte Carlo Stock — The stock is bedded with aluminum pillars to ensure consistent action-to-stock interface. Why it matters: Pillar bedding eliminates stock warpage and torque inconsistencies, keeping your point of impact stable even in changing humidity.
- Sako-Style Extractor and Hinged Floorplate — The Sako-style extractor provides positive case head control during feeding and extraction. The hinged floorplate allows quick unloading without cycling rounds. Why it matters: In the field, a jammed round or a slow unload can cost you the shot—or worse, leave you with a live round in the chamber when you don’t want one.
- Drilled and Tapped for Remington 700 Pattern Bases — Factory-drilled holes accept standard Remington 700 scope bases and rings. Why it matters: You can mount nearly any scope on the market without custom gunsmithing, giving you the freedom to build the rifle your way.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who values traditional aesthetics but refuses to compromise on modern accuracy. It’s for the collector who appreciates a Grade-A walnut Monte Carlo stock with a satin lacquer finish, but who also needs a rifle that can handle the backcountry. If you’re the kind of shooter who checks the barrel crown before the scope, who knows the difference between a push-feed and a controlled-round feed, and who believes a hunting rifle should look as good as it shoots, the Bergara B-14 Timber is your rifle.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Smooth bolt travel, excellent trigger out of the box, traditional walnut stock with modern bedding, factory-drilled for Remington 700 pattern mounts, hinged floorplate for easy unloading, Sako-style extractor for reliable feeding.
- Cons: The Monte Carlo stock, while beautiful, can cause cheek-slap with high-mounted scopes if the comb is too low for your face shape. A cheek riser or adjustable comb aftermarket upgrade may be needed for some shooters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What scope bases does the Bergara B-14 Timber accept?
The rifle is factory drilled and tapped to fit Remington 700 pattern bases and rings. This includes nearly all standard one-piece and two-piece bases from brands like Leupold, Warne, and Nightforce. No gunsmithing required.
Is the Bergara B-14 Timber available in other calibers?
Yes, the B-14 Timber is also offered in 6.5 Creedmoor and .270 Winchester. The .308 Win version is the most popular for its balance of recoil, trajectory, and availability of ammunition.
Does the rifle come with a scope?
No, the B-14 Timber is sold as a barreled action with stock—no scope, rings, or bases included. This allows you to choose your own optics based on your hunting style and budget.
How does the Bergara Performance Trigger compare to aftermarket triggers?
Many shooters find the factory trigger comparable to a good aftermarket trigger from Timney or TriggerTech. It is crisp, with no overtravel and a clean break. If you prefer a lighter pull, you can adjust it yourself, but the factory setting is ideal for field use.
Can I use this rifle for long-range target shooting?
Absolutely. The .308 Win is a proven long-range cartridge, and the Bergara barrel is capable of sub-MOA accuracy with match ammunition. The Monte Carlo stock and pillar bedding provide a stable platform for precision work.
