The BERGARA CREST CF 22-250 represents a focused integration of lightweight design and precision engineering, configured for demanding field applications. This bolt-action rifle leverages Bergara’s established B-14 action and innovative carbon fiber barrel technology to provide consistent performance across diverse conditions. It is specifically designed for shooters who require a robust, accurate, and easily maneuverable platform for varmint control or competitive shooting scenarios where weight reduction is a critical factor.
Key Features
Precision Action and Barrel Integration
The CREST CF features the proven Bergara B-14 series action, renowned for its smooth cycling, reliable feeding, and inherent accuracy potential. This action is mated to a 20-inch carbon fiber wrapped stainless steel barrel. The carbon fiber construction significantly reduces overall weight while maintaining rigidity and dissipating heat efficiently, mitigating point-of-impact shift during extended firing sequences. The barrel is fluted and finished with a threaded muzzle (1/2-28 TPI) for direct attachment of suppressors or muzzle devices, ensuring versatility in various operational environments.
Optimized Ergonomics and Durability
The rifle is equipped with a gray OMNI synthetic stock, engineered for durability and consistent performance in harsh environments. The stock’s design prioritizes ergonomic handling, providing a stable shooting platform and effective recoil management. Its lightweight composition contributes to the rifle’s overall maneuverability without compromising structural integrity.
Caliber Performance
Chambered in 22-250 Remington, this rifle is optimized for high-velocity, flat-shooting performance. The 22-250 Rem cartridge is widely recognized for its effectiveness in varmint and predator hunting, offering an extended effective range and minimal bullet drop. The specified 1:9″ twist rate in the 20-inch barrel is conducive to stabilizing a broad spectrum of projectile weights common for this caliber, enhancing terminal ballistics and accuracy potential.
Field-Ready Configuration
The 20-inch barrel length strikes an optimal balance between ballistic performance and compact maneuverability, making the CREST CF suitable for use in confined spaces or while navigating dense terrain. The Bergara Performance Trigger system provides a crisp, clean break, facilitating precise shot placement and contributing to the rifle’s overall accuracy capability. Detachable box magazine simplifies reloads and transport.
