The Bergara B-14 Timber LH .270 Win 24″ Walnut is a left-hand bolt-action hunting rifle built for right-handed shooters who want a premium, accurate platform without the usual lefty upcharge. Chambered in the flat-shooting .270 Winchester, this rifle pairs a warm Monte Carlo walnut stock with a Bergara B-14 action and a 24″ No. 4 taper 4140 CrMo steel barrel finished in graphite black Cerakote. It’s drilled and tapped for scope mounts, and the raised comb and cheek piece help you get a natural sight picture every time. This is a rifle that feels like it was made for you.

Key Features
- Left-Hand B-14 Action — Why it matters: You get a true left-handed bolt throw and ejection, so you can run the rifle without breaking your cheek weld or fumbling for brass. No more reaching over the top.
- Monte Carlo Walnut Stock with Raised Comb — Why it matters: The high comb lines up your eye with the scope instantly, and the cheek piece keeps you consistent shot to shot. It’s a stock that helps you shoot better, not just look good.
- 24″ No. 4 Taper Barrel in Cerakote — Why it matters: The No. 4 profile gives you enough heft for steady offhand shots and repeatable accuracy without being a boat anchor. The graphite black Cerakote resists rust and glare in the field.
- Drilled and Tapped for Scope Mounts — Why it matters: You don’t need a gunsmith to mount optics. Pick your favorite rings and bases and you’re ready for the range or the deer woods in minutes.
- Two-Lug Bolt with Smooth Feed — Why it matters: The 90-degree bolt lift gives you plenty of clearance for scopes, and the controlled round feed handles .270 cartridges reliably, even in cold weather.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the left-handed hunter who wants a production gun that shoots like a custom. Whether you’re chasing whitetails in the Midwest, mule deer in the Rockies, or hogs in the South, the .270 Winchester is a proven choice. It’s also a great option for the left-handed shooter stepping up from a .243 or .30-30 who wants more reach without punishing recoil.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: Genuine left-hand action — no conversion or righty gun forced to work.
- Pro: Bergara barrels are known for sub-MOA accuracy out of the box.
- Pro: Classic walnut stock that’s both functional and handsome.
- Con: The Monte Carlo stock may not fit shooters who prefer a straight comb or a more modern chassis feel — try it before you buy if you’re picky about cheek weld.

FAQ
What scope mounts fit the Bergara B-14 Timber LH?
This rifle is drilled and tapped for Remington 700 footprint bases. You can use any standard two-piece or one-piece base designed for Remington 700 short action (since .270 is based on the .308 case). Popular options include Warne, Talley, and Leupold.
Is the .270 Winchester good for elk?
Yes, with proper bullet selection. A 150-grain bonded or partition bullet at 2,850 fps will take elk out to 300 yards. The .270 is a classic mountain cartridge that balances reach and recoil well for most hunters.
Does the stock have a recoil pad?
Yes, it comes with a Bergara-branded recoil pad that does a good job taming the .270’s kick. The pad is also length-of-pull adjustable via spacer system if you need a longer or shorter pull.
Can I shoot .270 Winchester Short Magnum in this rifle?
No. This rifle is chambered for standard .270 Winchester only. Do not attempt to fire .270 WSM or any other cartridge. Stick to SAAMI-spec .270 Win ammunition.
Is this rifle accurate out of the box?
According to Bergara specs, the B-14 Timber is guaranteed to shoot sub-MOA with quality factory ammunition. Many owners report consistent 3/4 MOA groups with match or premium hunting loads.
