Key Features
Bergara B14 Action
The B14 action, a core component of the Bergara Ridge series, is a two-lug system with a Sako-style extractor and a coned bolt nose, ensuring consistent cartridge feeding and reliable extraction. This action is precision-machined from a single piece of steel for smooth, uninterrupted operation and enhanced accuracy potential, establishing a solid foundation for precision shooting.
Bergara Barrel
The rifle features a 20-inch 4140 CrMo steel barrel, finished in matte black. Each barrel undergoes a precise manufacturing process, including honing and button-rifling, ensuring exceptional bore consistency and concentricity. The muzzle is threaded (5/8-24″) to facilitate the secure attachment of various muzzle devices, including suppressors or brakes, to mitigate recoil and muzzle rise, enhancing shooter comfort and follow-up shot capability.
Stock Design
The black synthetic stock provides a stable and durable shooting platform. Engineered for resilience against environmental elements, its ergonomic design promotes a secure grip and a consistent cheek weld. This design focus contributes directly to repeatable shot placement and overall rifle control.
Trigger System
Equipped with Bergara’s adjustable Performance Trigger, the Ridge allows users to fine-tune the pull weight to their specific preference. This adjustability facilitates a crisp, predictable break, which is critical for maximizing precision and maintaining control during shot execution.
Magazine System
The rifle utilizes a detachable box magazine with a 4-round capacity, allowing for a total of 4+1 rounds (four in the magazine, one in the chamber). This system supports efficient reloading and convenient unloading of the firearm.
