Description
The Bergara B-14 Squared Crest PRC is a backcountry bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC, built around a 100 percent carbon fiber stock and a fluted steel barrel. This configuration (Bergara model B14SM759, UPC 043125016716) 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 7.2 pounds.
Bergara B-14 Squared Crest 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 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 20-inch barrel is 4140 chrome-moly steel, fluted to trim weight and speed cooling, with a 1:8 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.
Extra Reach From the 6.5 PRC
The 6.5 PRC drives long 6.5mm bullets roughly 200 to 300 feet per second faster than the 6.5 Creedmoor, extending effective range on deer, sheep and mule deer with moderate recoil. It fits a short action, and the 1:8 twist stabilizes heavy 140 to 156 grain bullets.
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.
