Description
The Bergara Crest Carbon PRC pairs a full carbon fiber stock with a CURE carbon fiber barrel, giving hunters magnum-class reach in a rifle that barely registers on a pack. This configuration (Bergara model B14SM759CF, UPC 043125016723) is chambered in 6.5 PRC with a 20-inch threaded barrel, a Sniper Gray Cerakote action and a black stock with gray sponge accents, and it weighs about 6.2 pounds before optics.
Bergara Crest Carbon PRC 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 PRC 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.
Why the 6.5 PRC Excels
The 6.5 PRC drives long, high-BC 6.5mm bullets roughly 200 to 300 feet per second faster than the 6.5 Creedmoor, extending effective range for deer, sheep and mule deer while keeping recoil moderate. It fits in a short action, so this lightweight mountain rifle stays compact. The 1:8 twist stabilizes the heavy 140 to 156 grain bullets the cartridge is built around.
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
The 6.5 PRC recoils a bit more than a 6.5 Creedmoor, and a rifle this light moves more than a heavy target gun. 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 PRC fits sheep, mule deer and backcountry hunters who count every ounce and want flat-shooting reach with moderate recoil. Pair it with a quality 4-16x or 5-25x scope and a solid 20 MOA base to get the most from it.
