Bergara B-14 Crest Carbon 300 PRC 22″ – Stunning Long-Range Hunting Rifle

Description

The Bergara B-14 Crest Carbon is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 300 PRC that pairs a full carbon fiber stock with a CURE carbon fiber barrel, giving hunters magnum reach without a magnum-weight rifle. This configuration (Bergara model B14LM7518CF, UPC 043125017720) uses a 22-inch threaded barrel, a Sniper Gray Cerakote action and a black stock with gray sponge accents, and it weighs about 6.5 pounds before optics.

Bergara B-14 Crest Carbon Overview

Bergara designed the Crest stock from the ground up in carbon fiber, with an internal carbon spine that adds rigidity where the action and barrel meet. The Bergara B-14 Crest Carbon matches that stock with a CURE carbon barrel in a No. 6 taper, so the rifle stays stiff and accurate while trimming weight for steep country. Bergara backs the Crest line with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee when used with quality factory ammunition.

Built as a 300 PRC Rifle for Long Shots

The 300 PRC was designed around long, high-BC bullets, and it delivers flat trajectories and heavy energy at extended distances. A 1:9 twist stabilizes those long-for-caliber projectiles, and the 22-inch carbon barrel keeps the rifle maneuverable in timber and on a pack. For elk, moose and big-bodied mule deer across canyons, this setup is a serious tool.

Carbon Fiber Stock With M5 Cutout

The 100 percent carbon fiber stock includes length-of-pull spacers for a custom fit and an M5 inlet that runs an AICS-style detachable magazine or converts to a traditional floorplate. Sling studs are installed for a sling or bipod. The black finish with gray sponge accents gives the rifle a clean look and a grippy texture in wet or cold weather.

Threaded Barrel With Omni Muzzle Brake

The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and ships with Bergara’s Omni muzzle brake, which takes a big bite out of recoil from a cartridge this powerful. That helps you spot your own hits and stay on target for a quick follow-up. The same threads accept most .30 caliber suppressors if you prefer to hunt quiet.

Field Notes and Setup Tips

Before the season, mount your scope with quality rings, torque everything to spec and confirm zero at 100 yards. Then gather real drop data at 300, 500 and beyond with the exact load you plan to hunt with, since published charts rarely match your barrel. Practice from field positions such as kneeling, sitting and off a pack, because hunting shots seldom come from a bench. A good sling and a lightweight bipod or tripod make a big difference in the mountains.

Before You Buy

The 300 PRC is a magnum cartridge, and even with the brake installed a rifle in this weight class will kick harder than a .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor. A brake also makes the rifle louder for the shooter and anyone beside the bench, so wear good hearing protection. Factory ammunition for the 300 PRC costs more and is less common than older magnums in some stores, and no scope or base is included.

Who It Is For

The Bergara B-14 Crest Carbon fits western hunters chasing elk, sheep and mule deer at real distance, and shooters who want a long-range hunting rifle light enough to carry all day. Pair it with a quality 4-16x or 5-25x scope and a solid 20 MOA base to get the most from the cartridge.
