Description
The Bergara B-14 Squared Crest 300 PRC is a backcountry bolt-action rifle chambered in 300 PRC, built around a 100 percent carbon fiber stock and a fluted steel barrel. This configuration (Bergara model B14LM7518, UPC 043125001514) has a 22-inch threaded barrel with an Omni muzzle brake, a Sniper Gray Cerakote finish and a detachable AICS-style magazine, and it weighs about 7.2 pounds.
Bergara B-14 Squared Crest 300 PRC Overview
Bergara designed the Squared line for hunters who want a premium rifle without a custom price tag. The Bergara B-14 Squared Crest 300 PRC uses the proven B-14 action, which runs a two-lug bolt with a sliding extractor and a tapered bolt and breech for smooth feeding and extraction. The bolt is fluted to save weight, and the whole barreled action is finished in Sniper Gray Cerakote to resist rust and wear in wet country.
Monocoque Carbon Fiber Stock
The stock is made with CF-RTM technology, a process borrowed from aerospace and automotive work, where dry carbon fiber is laid by hand and injected with resin. An internal carbon spine adds rigidity from the grip to the fore-end, and length-of-pull spacers let you tailor the fit. The result is a carbon fiber stock that is light, stiff and tough enough for rough trips.
Fluted Barrel With Omni Muzzle Brake
The 22-inch barrel is 4140 chrome-moly steel, fluted to trim weight and speed cooling, with a 1:9 twist. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and ships with Bergara’s Omni brake, which takes the edge off recoil so you can watch your shot land. Bergara’s barrel process is the reason the company backs these rifles with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee.
Long-Range Power of the 300 PRC
The 300 PRC was built around long, high-BC .30 caliber bullets and delivers a flat trajectory and heavy retained energy at extended distances. For elk, moose and big-bodied mule deer across canyons, it is one of the most capable cartridges you can carry, and the 1:9 twist stabilizes the heavy modern bullets it is known for.
Setup and Care
Mount a quality scope with solid rings on a short-action base, set eye relief with the stock spacers and zero at 100 yards. Record your drops at several distances with the load you plan to use, and practice from field positions as well as the bench. After a wet day, wipe the rifle down, run a dry patch through the bore and let it air out of the case overnight.

Before You Buy
A muzzle brake is loud, so wear quality hearing protection and warn anyone shooting beside you. The receiver is drilled and tapped, but no scope base or rings are included.The 300 PRC is a magnum cartridge, and even with the Omni brake installed it recoils harder than a 308 or 6.5 Creedmoor, so wear good hearing protection. Weight is estimated from other long-action Squared Crest models. Optics are not included, and all rifles ship to your local FFL dealer.
Who It Is For
The Bergara B-14 Squared Crest 300 PRC is a strong pick for elk and big game hunters who want a stable, accurate long-range hunting rifle with real magnum reach.
