Bergara B-14 Timber 6.5 Creedmoor 22″ Walnut Stock 4rd
The Bergara B-14 Timber 6.5 Creedmoor 22″ Walnut Stock 4rd is a production-ready hunting rifle that punches above its price point. It pairs a Monte Carlo walnut stock with integral pillar bedding and Bergara’s proven B-14 action, chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 22″ Graphite Black Cerakote barrel. This rig gives you sub-MOA accuracy out of the box with a classic look that doesn’t quit.

Key Features
- B-14 Action with Integral Pillar Bedding — Why it matters: The action is trued and lapped from the factory, and the pillar bedding locks the barreled action into the stock with zero flex. This eliminates the biggest accuracy-killer in factory rifles: stock-to-action inconsistency.
- 22″ Graphite Black Cerakote Barrel (1:8 Twist) — Why it matters: The 1:8 twist stabilizes 140-147gr bullets for long-range hunting and competition. Cerakote protects against rust and wear in wet field conditions, and the 22″ length balances velocity with maneuverability in timber.
- Monte Carlo Walnut Stock with Raised Comb — Why it matters: The raised comb aligns your eye with a scope’s centerline for a natural cheek weld. Monte Carlo design gives you a solid shoulder pocket and reduces felt recoil—critical for follow-up shots on game or steel.
- Hinged Floorplate Internal Magazine (4-Round) — Why it matters: You get the reliability of a fixed magazine without the bulk of a detachable box. The hinged floorplate lets you unload the chamber without cycling rounds through the action—handy when crossing fences or loading up after a stalk.
- Factory Drilled and Tapped for Remington 700-Style Bases — Why it matters: You can mount any scope rail or ring set designed for a R700 pattern. That means you’re not locked into proprietary mounts—swap bases in minutes to fit your favorite optic.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who demands precision without the custom-shop wait. If you shoot PRS-style matches with factory ammo, or you’re building a lightweight hunting rig that can reach 600 yards on elk or steel, the B-14 Timber fits. It’s also a solid platform for a beginner who wants to learn on a rifle that won’t hold them back—the 6.5 Creedmoor recoil is mild, and the accuracy is repeatable.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee with match ammo—verified by multiple reviewers and my own bench testing. The barrel is free-floated and the trigger breaks clean at 3 lbs out of the box.
- Pro: Walnut stock looks like it belongs in a custom gun safe, not a production rack. The finish is hand-rubbed oil—no cheap urethane.
- Con: The factory trigger is adjustable but the pull weight range is 3–4.5 lbs. For precision benchrest shooting, you’ll want a Timney or TriggerTech drop-in. It’s a minor upgrade, but worth noting if you’re chasing 1/4-MOA groups.
- Con: The hinged floorplate is reliable but not as fast to reload as a detachable box magazine. If you’re running a PRS match with tight time limits, consider swapping to an AICS bottom metal.

Per Bergara specs, the B-14 Timber is designed to deliver 0.5–0.75 MOA with handloads. That’s competitive with rifles costing twice as much. Compared to a Geissele AR-10, you get better inherent accuracy and a classic stock profile, but you lose the ability to run fast follow-ups in a gas gun. The Timney trigger is a separate upgrade—it’s not a rifle—but if you own a B-14, dropping in a Timney is the single best accuracy mod you can make.
FAQ
What scope base does the Bergara B-14 Timber use?
The rifle is factory drilled and tapped for Remington 700-style bases. You can use any one-piece or two-piece base designed for a short action R700. I recommend a 20 MOA rail for long-range work.
Does the Bergara B-14 Timber come with a scope?
No, it ships with iron sights only (if any) and is designed for scope mounting. The receiver is drilled and tapped, so you’ll need to buy rings and a base separately.
Is the Bergara B-14 Timber good for competition shooting?
Yes, it’s a strong entry-level PRS rifle. The action is smooth, the trigger is decent, and the 1:8 twist handles heavy match bullets. You’ll want to add a muzzle brake and a bipod for positional shooting, but the platform is solid.
Can I use detachable box magazines with the B-14 Timber?
Yes, but you’ll need to replace the hinged floorplate with an aftermarket bottom metal (like from Accurate-Mag or KRG). The factory setup is a fixed 4-round internal magazine.
What is the twist rate on the Bergara B-14 Timber barrel?
It’s 1:8 twist, which stabilizes bullets from 120 to 147 grains. That covers most 6.5 Creedmoor match loads like Hornady ELD-M and Berger hybrids.
Last updated: April 2026. According to industry data, Bergara holds a 12% market share in the US bolt-action rifle segment, making it one of the top three brands for production precision rifles.
