The Bergara B-14 Crest 6.5 Creedmoor 20″ Carbon Fiber is a purpose-built ultralight bolt-action rifle for mountain hunters and precision shooters who demand minimal weight without sacrificing accuracy. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, this rifle combines a Bergara barrel and B-14 action with a Monte Carlo 100% carbon fiber stock to deliver a sub-6.5-pound platform that maintains rigidity for long-range precision. Finished in Sniper Gray Cerakote, it resists corrosion and wear in field conditions. According to Bergara specs, the barrel is hand-lapped and chambered to match-grade tolerances, ensuring consistent sub-MOA performance with factory match ammunition. The 20-inch barrel balances handling and velocity, making it a viable choice for both hunting and tactical applications.

Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-6.5-pound weight with a full carbon fiber stock makes it one of the lightest production bolt guns in its class.
- Pro: Bergara’s barrel manufacturing process (hand-lapped, stress-relieved) ensures match-grade accuracy out of the box.
- Con: The carbon fiber stock is non-adjustable for length of pull or comb height, which may require aftermarket shimming for optimal fit with optics.
