The Bergara B-14 Timber .300 Win Mag 24″ Walnut Stock is a production-grade hunting rifle that pulls from Bergara’s custom shop heritage. You get a 24-inch Chrome Moly barrel coated in Graphite Black Cerakote, paired with a Monte Carlo walnut stock that has a raised comb and cheek piece. The two-lug B-14 action uses a sliding-plate extractor, and the Bergara Performance Trigger breaks clean at about three pounds. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700-style rings and bases, making scope mounting straightforward.

Key Features
- Bergara B-14 Action — WHY IT MATTERS: Two-lug design with a sliding-plate extractor gives you reliable feeding and extraction, even with heavy .300 Win Mag loads.
- 24″ Chrome Moly Barrel with Cerakote Finish — WHY IT MATTERS: The 4140 CrMo steel holds up to high-pressure magnum rounds, and the Graphite Black Cerakote resists rust and weather better than blued steel.
- Monte Carlo Walnut Stock — WHY IT MATTERS: The raised comb and cheek piece help align your eye with the scope naturally, and the walnut gives you a classic look that stands out from synthetic stocks.
- Bergara Performance Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: Set at about three pounds from the factory, this trigger breaks crisp with minimal creep, helping you stay accurate on long shots.
- Remington 700 Scope Mount Pattern — WHY IT MATTERS: Drilled and tapped for standard 700 bases, so you can mount any optic you already own without needing adapters.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for hunters who want a magnum-caliber rifle that shoots straight out of the box. The .300 Win Mag gives you the reach for elk, moose, and mule deer at extended ranges. The walnut stock appeals to shooters who prefer traditional looks over synthetic stocks. It’s also a solid pick for new gun owners stepping up to a magnum cartridge — the trigger and stock help manage recoil and accuracy.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee from Bergara; smooth action right from the box; Cerakote finish is tough; trigger is adjustable if you want to change pull weight.
- Cons: The walnut stock adds weight compared to a synthetic stock — at 8.2 lbs, it’s not a lightweight mountain rifle. Also, the .300 Win Mag recoil is stout for new shooters, so plan on a good recoil pad or brake.

FAQ
Does the Bergara B-14 Timber come with scope rings or bases?
No, it does not include rings or bases. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700-style bases, so you’ll need to buy those separately. Most shooters use a one-piece base or two-piece set with standard 700 rings.
What twist rate is the barrel on the Bergara B-14 Timber .300 Win Mag?
Per Bergara specs, the 24-inch barrel has a 1:10 twist rate. That stabilizes bullets from 150 to 220 grains, which covers most .300 Win Mag hunting loads.
Is the Bergara B-14 Timber accurate out of the box?
Yes. Bergara guarantees sub-MOA accuracy with match-grade ammo. In my experience, most shooters see 0.75–1.0 MOA with factory hunting loads like Federal Premium or Hornady.
Can I change the stock on the Bergara B-14 Timber?
Yes, the B-14 action fits Remington 700 short-action stocks and chassis. You can swap to a synthetic stock or a chassis system if you want to reduce weight or add adjustability.
