Bergara Crest Carbon 22-250 Rem 20″ – Stunning Lightweight Varmint Rifle

Description

The Bergara Crest Carbon 22-250 pairs a full carbon fiber stock with a CURE carbon fiber barrel, giving hunters laser-flat varmint performance in a rifle you can carry all day. This configuration (Bergara model B14S754CF, UPC 043125017300) is chambered in .22-250 Remington with a 20-inch threaded barrel, a Sniper Gray Cerakote action and a black stock with gray sponge accents, and it weighs about 6.3 pounds before optics.

Bergara Crest Carbon 22-250 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 Crest Carbon 22-250 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.

Flat-Shooting .22-250 Remington

The .22-250 Remington is a classic varmint and predator cartridge, pushing light bullets past 3,500 feet per second for a flat trajectory and dramatic terminal performance on coyotes, groundhogs and prairie dogs. The 1:9 twist stabilizes bullets in the 50 to 60 grain range and many heavier varmint loads, and the short action keeps this lightweight mountain rifle compact for long walks along field edges.

Carbon Fiber Stock With M5 Cutout

The 100 percent carbon 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 brake, which takes a big bite out of recoil. That helps you spot your own hits and stay on target for a quick follow-up. The same threads accept most suppressors in the right caliber 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

Recoil from the .22-250 is light, but the brake adds noise and the cartridge is hard on barrels during long strings, so let it cool between groups. A brake also makes the rifle louder for the shooter and anyone beside the bench, so wear good hearing protection. No scope or base is included.

Who It Is For

The Bergara Crest Carbon 22-250 fits predator callers, groundhog hunters and prairie dog shooters who walk a lot of miles and want a light, accurate varmint rifle. Pair it with a quality 4-16x or 5-25x scope and a solid 20 MOA base to get the most from it.
