About this product
The Bergara B-14 Hunter .30-06 24″ Green Synthetic 4rd is a no-nonsense hunting rifle built for the guy who wants to get out in the field and put meat in the freezer. It combines Bergara’s reputation for top-quality, hand-lapped barrels with a smooth, reliable B-14 action that cycles like butter. Chambered in the classic .30-06 Springfield, this rifle is ready for anything from whitetail to elk. The green synthetic stock with a SoftTouch finish means you can grab it in the rain or snow and it won’t slip, and the hinged floorplate makes unloading quick and safe. For the price, you’re getting a lot of rifle that will shoot better than most guys behind it.

Key Features
- Bergara Hand-Lapped Barrel — Why it matters: This isn’t just any barrel; it’s made the same way Bergara makes their custom competition barrels, giving you sub-MOA accuracy right out of the box without having to spend a fortune on gunsmithing.
- Smooth B-14 Action — Why it matters: The action is glass-bedded and uses a coned bolt nose for reliable feeding, so you won’t get jammed up when that buck is standing broadside at 200 yards.
- SoftTouch Synthetic Stock — Why it matters: The green synthetic stock has a soft, grippy texture that stays in your hands even in wet conditions, and it’s tough enough to take a knock against a tree stand or truck tailgate.
- Hinged Floorplate Magazine — Why it matters: Unlike a detachable box mag, this hinged floorplate lets you unload the rifle without cycling rounds through the action, which is safer and faster when you’re done hunting for the day.
- Drilled and Tapped for Remington 700 Bases — Why it matters: You can mount any Remington 700-pattern scope base or ring, which means you’ve got hundreds of aftermarket options for optics and mounting systems.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who wants a reliable, accurate .30-06 without paying custom gun prices. It’s perfect for guys who hunt everything from deer to bear to elk, and it’s a great first bolt-action for someone moving up from a .243 or .270. It’s also for the shooter who appreciates a smooth action and a barrel that shoots straight, because Bergara has a strong following among long-range shooters too.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, extremely smooth action, durable synthetic stock, hinged floorplate for safe unloading, compatible with Remington 700 scope mounts.
- Cons: The trigger is a bit heavy out of the box at around 3.5 pounds, but it’s adjustable or you can swap in a Timney trigger easily.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Bergara B-14 Hunter take Remington 700 scope bases?
Yes, the receiver is drilled and tapped to accept Remington 700-pattern scope bases and rings. That means you can use any aftermarket mount system designed for a Remington 700 short action.
Is this rifle accurate out of the box?
Bergara guarantees sub-MOA accuracy with match-grade ammunition, and most shooters report getting 1-inch groups or better at 100 yards with factory hunting loads. The hand-lapped barrel is the reason.
Can I use this for elk hunting?
Absolutely. The .30-06 Springfield is one of the most proven elk cartridges ever made, and with a 24-inch barrel you’re getting good velocity for shots out to 400 yards. Just use a quality bullet like a 180-grain Nosler Partition.
Does the stock have sling swivel studs?
Yes, it comes with sling swivel studs installed, so you can mount a bipod or a sling right away.
Is this a left-handed model?
No, this specific model is configured for right-hand operation. If you need a left-handed B-14 Hunter, let us know and we can special order one.
