Description
You know that feeling when you’re at the range, watching a guy with a custom rig print tiny groups at 600 yards, and you think, “I could never afford that”? I used to. Then I started running setups like this Bergara B-14 HMR Used 6.5 Creedmoor, 22″ Barrel, Molded LH Chassis, Brown, 5rd. It’s the secret handshake into the precision rifle world without the custom price tag. Let me break down why this used find is so compelling.
Answer Capsule: The Bergara B-14 HMR is a factory-built precision rifle designed for long-range accuracy. This specific used model is chambered in the flat-shooting 6.5 Creedmoor, features a 22-inch barrel, and comes in a brown, molded left-hand chassis stock with a 5-round magazine. It offers exceptional out-of-the-box performance for hunters and target shooters.
Here’s the thing—Bergara didn’t reinvent the wheel; they just made a better one. The action is built on a modified Remington 700 footprint, which is genius. Why? It means nearly every accessory and chassis system made for the R700 platform fits this rifle. We’re talking triggers, scope bases, stocks—you name it. The barrel is where the magic happens, though. Bergara’s button-rifled, hand-lapped barrels are consistently accurate, and I’ve put rounds through enough of them to say they often shoot like custom tubes. This one’s a 22-inch sporter contour, a great balance for carrying in a blind or shooting from a bipod.
The molded polymer chassis is the HMR’s party piece. It’s not just a stock; it’s a fully adjustable system with an aluminum bedding block that fits out of the box. The adjustable comb and length of pull let you get a perfect weld every time, which is half the battle for consistency. The integrated Arca-Swiss rail on the forend is a huge bonus, allowing direct attachment of tripods or bipods like those from Really Right Stuff or Sunwayfoto. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, this rifle is ballistically efficient, with minimal recoil and outstanding wind-bucking ability, making 1,000-yard shots a realistic proposition with good ammo. At a price of $894.12, this used model represents a significant saving over new, letting you allocate more budget for a quality optic.

Pros & Cons
Pros: The accuracy potential is fantastic for a production rifle. The chassis system provides modern features and adjustability you’d typically pay extra for. The 6.5 Creedmoor caliber is ideal for both long-range target work and ethical medium-game hunting. The Remington 700 pattern compatibility opens a universe of upgrades.
Cons: As a used firearm, it will show some safe wear—cosmetic only, we ensure mechanical function. The polymer chassis, while rigid, doesn’t have the premium feel of a full aluminum chassis. The 22-inch barrel sacrifices a bit of velocity compared to a 24 or 26-inch tube, but it’s more maneuverable.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the shooter who’s serious about precision but pragmatic about budget. It’s for the Missouri whitetail hunter who wants to confidently take a 400-yard shot across a bean field, or the weekend precision shooter looking to compete in local PRS-style matches without a $3,000 investment. It’s also a perfect left-handed shooter’s entry into the precision realm, where dedicated southpaw options are often limited and pricey.
