Key Features
Bergara B-14 Action
The foundation of the HMR CF Wilderness is the Bergara B-14 action, a robust two-lug system constructed from solid steel. This action features a coned bolt nose and a sliding plate extractor, ensuring reliable feeding and consistent extraction under various conditions. The B-14 action is designed for smooth operation, facilitating rapid and positive cycling. Compatibility with Remington 700 style bases provides extensive mounting options for optical systems.
Carbon Fiber Barrel
This model integrates a 24-inch Bergara Carbon Fiber barrel, precision-machined to mitigate weight without compromising rigidity or thermal stability. The carbon fiber wrap enhances the barrel’s stiffness, which is critical for maintaining accuracy through extended firing sequences by minimizing barrel whip and resisting heat-induced point-of-impact shifts. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24 UNEF, enabling direct attachment of muzzle brakes or suppressors to optimize recoil management.
HMR Chassis Stock
The Bergara HMR stock is an integral component for precision and ergonomics. It features a mini-chassis system that provides a solid aluminum bedding block for the action, enhancing the rifle’s inherent accuracy and consistency. The stock offers a fully adjustable length-of-pull and comb height, allowing shooters to customize the fit for optimal eye relief and shooting posture. Integrated QD flush cups and an AICS-compatible detachable magazine system further contribute to the rifle’s operational utility.
Bergara Performance Trigger
The rifle is equipped with a Bergara Performance Trigger, user-adjustable to facilitate a clean, crisp break. This adjustable interface ensures precise shot placement by allowing the shooter to fine-tune trigger pull to their specific preference, mitigating common trigger-induced accuracy issues.
Durable Finish
All external steel components receive a Graphite Black Cerakote finish. This ceramic-based coating provides superior resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and environmental elements, ensuring the rifle’s longevity and performance in harsh field conditions.
