The Bergara B-14 Crest Carbon in .300 Win Mag with a 22” barrel and Sniper Grey finish is a lightweight, precision hunting rifle engineered for serious backcountry and long-range work. It pairs Bergara’s proven B-14 action with a CURE carbon fiber barrel and a full carbon fiber Crest stock to cut weight without sacrificing rigidity. The receiver is drilled and tapped for optics, and the threaded barrel includes an Omni muzzle brake. Finished in Sniper Grey Cerakote, this rifle is built for durability and carry comfort in harsh terrain.

Key Features
- CURE Carbon Fiber Barrel — why it matters: Reduces overall weight by nearly 30% compared to a steel barrel of the same contour, while maintaining sub-MOA accuracy under sustained fire.
- Full Carbon Fiber Crest Stock — why it matters: Provides a rigid, moisture-resistant platform that won’t warp in wet conditions, critical for mountain hunts where every ounce and every shot counts.
- Omni Muzzle Brake — why it matters: Cuts felt recoil by approximately 40% on the .300 Win Mag, allowing faster follow-up shots and less shooter fatigue during long-range sessions.
- Sniper Grey Cerakote Finish — why it matters: Offers corrosion resistance and a low-glare, non-reflective surface that blends into alpine and rocky environments.
- B-14 Action with Dual Ejectors — why it matters: Ensures reliable extraction and ejection even with hot magnum loads, reducing the chance of a malfunction when you’re miles from the truck.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter or shooter who demands a lightweight, precision platform for long-range shots in steep, unforgiving terrain. It suits law enforcement snipers needing a packable rifle for overwatch, and military personnel who want a durable, accurate system for extended field operations. The .300 Win Mag chambering makes it effective on game from elk to moose, and on steel out to 1,000+ yards.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-7-pound weight with a full carbon fiber barrel and stock — one of the lightest production .300 Win Mags on the market.
- Pro: Factory threaded barrel with included brake saves you aftermarket cost and gunsmith time.
- Con: The 22-inch barrel reduces muzzle velocity by roughly 50-75 fps compared to a 24- or 26-inch tube, though the weight savings often offset that trade-off for carry-centric use.
