The Bergara B-14 Cima CF .22-250 Rem 20in is a lightweight, long-range bolt-action rifle built for hunters and precision shooters who want carbon-fiber performance without the bulk. Bergara uses their CURE carbon barrel technology and an RTM carbon fiber sporter stock with an internal SMC mini-chassis to keep weight down and accuracy repeatable. This rifle handles like a sporter but shoots like a target gun.

Key Features
- CURE Carbon Barrel Technology: Why it matters: Bergara’s CURE process bonds a carbon fiber sleeve to the stainless steel barrel blank, reducing weight by up to 40% compared to a steel barrel of the same contour while maintaining stiffness and heat dissipation for consistent accuracy shot after shot.
- RTM Carbon Fiber Sporter Stock with SMC Mini-Chassis: Why it matters: The resin transfer molding (RTM) stock is both lightweight and rigid, and the internal SMC mini-chassis provides a rock-solid bedding surface for the action, ensuring repeatable accuracy even in rough field conditions.
- 20-Inch Barrel for Maneuverability: Why it matters: A 20-inch barrel balances portability and velocity, making this rifle easy to carry through brush or timber while still delivering the flat trajectory and energy the .22-250 Rem is known for.
- Conventional Bolt-Action Layout: Why it matters: The familiar two-lug bolt and three-position safety are intuitive for shooters of all experience levels, with a smooth 60-degree bolt lift that clears low-mounted scopes.
- User-Friendly Controls: Why it matters: The bolt release, magazine release, and safety are all positioned for quick, natural access, so you can focus on the shot instead of fumbling with the rifle.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who walks miles into the backcountry and wants a rifle that won’t weigh them down, but still delivers the accuracy to reach out to 400+ yards on varmints or predators. It’s also for the precision shooter who appreciates a carbon-fiber build that’s easy to pack to the range and shoots sub-MOA groups out of the box.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Lightweight (about 6.5 lbs), Bergara CURE barrel for accuracy and heat management, rigid mini-chassis bed, smooth 60-degree bolt lift, classic sporter ergonomics.
- Cons: The carbon fiber stock has a slightly different balance point than a traditional wood or synthetic stock — some shooters may need a few range sessions to adjust. Also, the 20-inch barrel limits muzzle velocity slightly compared to a 24-inch barrel, though it’s still plenty for .22-250 Rem.
