Description
The Bergara B-14 Squared Crest 450 Bushmaster is a backcountry bolt-action rifle chambered in 450 Bushmaster, built around a 100 percent carbon fiber stock and a fluted steel barrel. This configuration (Bergara model B14S756, UPC 043125002801) has a 20-inch threaded barrel with an Omni muzzle brake, a Sniper Gray Cerakote finish and a detachable AICS-style magazine, and it weighs about 6.8 pounds.
Bergara B-14 Squared Crest 450 Bushmaster Overview
Bergara designed the Squared line for hunters who want a premium rifle without a custom price tag. The Bergara B-14 Squared Crest 450 Bushmaster 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 20-inch barrel is 4140 chrome-moly steel, fluted to trim weight and speed cooling, with a Factory standard for .452 bullets 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.
Straight-Wall Power of the 450 Bushmaster
The 450 Bushmaster fires heavy .452 caliber bullets from a straight-walled case, delivering big, decisive energy on deer and hogs inside 200 yards. It is a top choice in states and zones that limit rifle hunting to straight-wall cartridges, and its large, heavy bullets hit hard while still being easy to handle in a bolt gun.
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.
