Bergara B14 Wilderness Affordable Carbon Fibre

Full test with factory and reloads and superb trophy roe buck hunt. Bergara`s B14 model Wilderness series as the name suggests is designed for uncompromising performance out in the real world with lightweight construction, Cerakote finishes, fluted bolts and on this model a thumbhole stock with carbon or steel barrelled options.
Thumbhole stocks are my favourite especially when this one is tough yet lightweight, the whole rifle is only 6lbs 6 ozs in .308 Win! so very hunter friendly. This is balanced, literally with the short 20 inch barrel that has a slim profiled steel barrel beneath a carbon fibre wrap to add strength yet again achieve lightness for a very nimble rifle in the field which is appreciated as the years roll on! So, what you have is a rifle that is strong, weather proof with all exposed metal parts Cerakote finished complemented by a precision trigger mechanism and AICS compatible detachable magazines. The Wilderness offers great value for money at £1,445.00 considering the carbon wrapped barrel that most manufacturers put an elevated price premium on.
