Hands-On: New Bergara B-14 Squared Crest (Tested in 308)

I'd love to see it in 7mm-08 Rem and 30-06 Springfield. I like the other chamberings as well and will probably get the one in 6.5 PRC but I already own one of those so it would be nice if they also offered it in 7mm PRC & 300 PRC so I would have an excuse to buy another rifle.

[@edstettin6799]

I agree. It should be chambered in ALL the PRC calibers. Looks like a great rifle. I would buy one in 7 PRC or 300 PRC. Already have a 6.5 PRC. Don't need another.

[@richwc1]

I'm in the same boat. 308 or 6.5prc. I'd also love to see one of these or a seekins ph2 in 7mm08.

How about 7stw for win or 7saum

[@kirkmartin2223]

@@long-range-eliminator I've always referred to the 7stw as the 7FTW lol. I dont know why they went with the 300wm instead of the 300prc.... aside from the faster 1:9-1:8.5tw needed. A 30cal barrel in 1:10tw is kinda boring. Bergara has 1:9tw blanks on the rack so I don't get why they didn't just put a 300prc in that stock with the fluted barrel.

[@long-range-eliminator]

[@greggilliam1829]

30-06 for me

[@richardc-ex7rt]

30-06 would be a great chambering. I think Bergara chambers only 3 models in that caliber and none are what would be considered a premium rifle. It’s also a great all around caliber. Folks like me aren’t really interested in the latest barrel burner calibers. I know that Bergara will get under 1/2 moa that you want with hand loads. My 7-08 Ridge does 1/2 moa on a bad day with mine.

[@Devanzo321]

30-06 is never a great chambering good maybe but not great

[@bigben9379]

@@Devanzo321 It gets a lot of love. During the pandemic when most chamberings were not to be found -there was 30-06 from time to time. It may be in the top 3 if not the most popular deer caliber in the United States . We won't even get into the military history and the fact that it can due it all in N America adequately at least -that I think that qualifies for "great.

This is an exciting rifle. I was disappointed in only 4 initial chamberings, but hopefully they add more soon. I'd love to see 7mm PRC and .280 AI. Those would round out the offerings nicely. Maybe even a .338 Win Mag.

[@_cal_techie]

Yes!! I hope Bergara gets on the 7 PRC train very soon. This rifle in 7 PRC would be perfection.

[@CplSkiUSMC]

Won't even consider buying one. Why do these manufacturers keep chopping .308 barrels off at 20"? I won't consider anything less than 24" and I prefer 26" so they need to offer these options if they want my business.

[@jarredlkling]

Because it's a lightweight rifle and .308 sucks and nobody is buying it anymore

[@richardc-ex7rt]

This is just one rifle made for a specific purpose.

[@CplSkiUSMC]

@@richardc-ex7rt Right, but my problem is that they are not offering any options for those of us who prefer a longer barrel. If I buy a 6.5CM I can get a long barrel, why not .308Win? It's simple... no options = no sale.

[@conservativesniperhunter7439]

Nice rifle, I know most wont agree but I’d like to see this rifle chambered in the classic 270 Winchester which makes for a great 400 to 500 yards cartridge for deer 🦌 sized game in the open plains or in mountain country. I’d also like to see it chambered in the 35 Wheelen for when pussyfooting around and stalking bigger game such elk, moose and big heave thick set boars 🐗 in thicker forests where most shots are likely to be within 150 yards.

[@polbrennan9006]

What is the cost of this model?

Just picked this up in 308. I love the feel of it but accuracy will definitely be the deciding factor when it comes to keeping it long term. Fingers crossed

[@bradenstackhouse1335]

How is it

[@rodgerthackeray7978]

$1999 seams a bit steep. You can get the Premier Mountain for $50 more. Considering it is a B14 receiver, $1200 - $1500 seems like a better price. Plus, they need to add 7mm PRC to their available cartridges.

[@Tradmark454]

I handled it at the dsc show. Was the best feeling bergara there. I thought the same thing till i handled it. I have 12 beragra’s and to date i havent noticed an accuracy differential bw the premiere and the b14 line.

[@ronladuke7235]

Every hunting rifle really should have a stainless barrel, you can put coatings on the outside of the rifle and wipe it down with an oily cloth but the inside of the barrel should be slightly dirty ( no lubricants) so it has no corrosion protection?

[@stevenlewis6781]

That looks like a great rifle. Begara is absolutely the best rifle for feature set, accuracy, and cost. I find it a little amusing that the.308 just keeps trucking on despite everyone predicting it's demise. Truth is inside of 500 yards it's fine for any hoofed game in the world, except the big African buffalo. Outside of 500 yards there's so many other variables that outweigh the caliber, not the least of which is the person pulling the trigger.

[@SW737Flyer]

I love this gun. It will be added to my stable of bolt actions. However, I wish it was available in 6.8 Western and 7mm PRC. I have enough 6.5 CM, 6.5 PRC and .308 WIN but nothing in or near that .277 or .284 Caliber. I am hoping those options come available soon.

[@guerrierweg]

Tried out this rifle at the range last summer. The ergonomics are fantastic, with a lot of familiarities to the Bergara HMR stock but with a fuller palm swell on the pistol grip, and the weight makes it perfect for the hills. It lacks an adjustable comb but I found the fit to be spot on. The carbon fibre stock has a wonderful feel to it. Great review, thank you.

[@mainenorthwoodshunter3265]

How do you like the stock on the rifle? Does it have any texture to it in the grip areas? Does it feel cheap or brittle? I see the cutaway and worry about it getting damaged easily. I see they now make it in the 7 PRC. That is what I would get it in. I would also like a 3-round magazine if they make one. I do not like my magazine hanging down in my hunting rifle. I see you can also get a hinged floor plate for it now so I would be tossing that around as well. Another great video. Thank you! Good Hunting to you from Maine North Woods Hunter

Have one and shoot the same bullet you did 2906 FPS, 1/2-inch groups at 100 yds. At first it wouldn't feed or eject properly, but I kept on using it and it started working great. Seems like it kind of needed to break in. you can also take the magazine apart and change the tension on the spring by bending it and experiment until it feeds. Would buy it again. Love it. Love the looks too. It seems like the spring is too strong and the shells jump out of the mag. to hard. I have several mags, and some work perfect, and others need a little tune-up.
