Bergara B-14R Trainer .22 LR Threaded Barreled Action 10rd

Description

The Bergara B-14R Trainer .22 LR Threaded Barreled Action 10rd is a precision rimfire action built to mirror the footprint of a Remington 700 short-action, giving you a dedicated training platform that transfers directly to your centerfire builds. This barreled action ships with a factory-installed adjustable Bergara trigger and a 10-round AICS-style magazine, so you’re ready to drop into any Rem 700-compatible stock or chassis and start shooting. The 1:16 twist barrel with a 1/2×28 threaded muzzle handles standard .22 LR match ammo and accepts common rimfire brakes or suppressors. Per Bergara specs, the action is drilled and tapped for scope bases, and the bolt cycles smoothly with a 60-degree throw. At $949.99, this is a direct path to rimfire training that feels exactly like your centerfire rig—no compromises, no guesswork.

Key Features

• Rem 700 Short-Action Clone – Why it matters: Your centerfire chassis, stock, and trigger all drop in without adapters or gunsmithing. This means your training rifle shares the exact same feel, LOP, and balance as your match gun.
• Factory-Adjustable Bergara Trigger – Why it matters: Adjustable from 1.5 to 3.5 lbs out of the box, so you can set a crisp break that matches your centerfire trigger. No need to swap parts for a clean release.
• 1:16 Twist, 1/2×28 Threaded Muzzle – Why it matters: The 1:16 twist stabilizes standard-velocity and subsonic .22 LR match ammo, while the threaded muzzle lets you run a suppressor or brake without a thread adapter.
• 10-Round AICS-Style Magazine – Why it matters: Reliable feeding from a proven pattern, with a flush fit in most Rem 700 chassis. No finicky rotary mags—just load and run.
• Drilled and Tapped Receiver – Why it matters: Mount any Rem 700-compatible scope base (20 MOA recommended) without drilling or tapping. You’re on the clock faster.

Who It’s For

This barreled action is built for competition shooters who want a rimfire trainer that mirrors their centerfire PRS or NRL rifle. If you’re running a Rem 700-pattern chassis—like an MDT ACC, KRG Bravo, or MPA BA Comp—you can drop this action in and practice positional shooting, wind reading, and trigger control with cheap .22 LR ammo. It’s also a solid choice for precision enthusiasts who want to build a dedicated .22 trainer without starting from scratch.

Pros/Cons

Pros: Direct drop-in for Rem 700 short-action stocks/chassis; adjustable trigger; threaded barrel; AICS magazine compatibility; excellent accuracy out of the box (sub-MOA with match ammo).

Cons: The factory trigger, while adjustable, has a slightly heavier pull than aftermarket options like a TriggerTech—some shooters swap it for a sub-1-lb unit. Also, the barreled action does not include a scope base or rings, so factor that into your build cost.

How does the Bergara B-14R Trainer compare to a Ruger 10/22 for training?

The B-14R is a bolt-action Rem 700 clone, so it trains your manual of arms for centerfire precision rifles—bolt cycling, trigger control, and stock manipulation. The 10/22 is semi-auto and cheaper, but it doesn’t replicate the feel of a bolt gun. If your match rifle is a Rem 700 pattern, the B-14R is the better trainer.

Does the Bergara B-14R Trainer accept aftermarket triggers?

Yes. The action uses Remington 700 short-action trigger specs, so you can drop in any R700-compatible trigger from Timney, TriggerTech, or Geissele. The factory Bergara trigger is good, but swapping to a sub-1-lb match trigger is common for PRS shooters.

What scope base do I need for the Bergara B-14R Trainer?

Any Remington 700 short-action scope base with 8-40 screws will work. A 20 MOA base is recommended to maximize elevation travel for 100-300 yard rimfire shooting.

Can I use this barreled action for NRL22 competition?

Absolutely. The B-14R is a top choice for NRL22 and PRS Rimfire. Drop it into a chassis with a 20 MOA rail and a match trigger, and you’ll have a competitive rig that runs on standard .22 LR ammo.

Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?

Yes, the 1/2×28 threads are standard for .22 LR suppressors. Just make sure your suppressor is rated for rimfire and that you use a thread adapter if needed (most direct-thread .22 cans fit 1/2×28).
