The Bergara B-14 Cima Pro in .308 Winchester is a lightweight hunting rifle built from the ground up with carbon fiber technology. This isn't a conventional rifle with a carbon stock bolted to a traditional action—Bergara engineered the entire platform using an advanced autoclave curing process that bonds carbon fiber into the stock, barrel, and action components. The result is a rifle that weighs substantially less than conventional alternatives without sacrificing the rigidity and consistency that precision shooting demands. If you're a serious hunter who spends long days glassing ridges or covering country on foot, the Cima Pro's weight advantage compounds across a full season.
The rifle centers on Bergara's Premier action, a modern controlled-feed design refined for reliability and accuracy. A TriggerTech trigger breaks the shot cleanly, and the stainless steel Cerakote finish protects the carbon barrel against the elements—important insurance when you've invested in cutting-edge materials. The .308 Winchester chambering remains the go-to for North American hunting, delivering proven terminal performance across medium to long-range game without the recoil penalty of larger magnums.
Carbon fiber construction has earned its reputation among long-range shooters and competitive riflemen for dimensional stability and vibration damping, and those same properties serve the field hunter. The autoclave process—the same technique used in aerospace manufacturing—creates a uniform cure that resists the environmental stress that can delaminate inferior composite stocks. You're looking at a rifle that will maintain zero and consistency season after season, even when temperature and humidity swing.
The Cima Pro appeals to hunters who've already committed to premium glass and ammunition and want a rifle that matches that standard. This is a tool for the hunter who values preparation and respects the distance to his target.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Cima Pro different from a standard hunting rifle with a carbon stock?
The entire rifle—stock, action, and barrel—is engineered and cured as an integrated carbon fiber system using an autoclave process. This creates a unified structure with superior vibration damping and dimensional stability compared to rifles where a carbon aftermarket stock is simply substituted for wood or traditional polymer.
Is the .308 Winchester suitable for long-range hunting?
Yes. The .308 Winchester is one of the most versatile hunting cartridges, effective at extended ranges with proper ammunition selection and shooter skill. The Cima Pro's inherent accuracy and the Bergara Premier action support precision shooting well beyond typical hunting distances.
How does carbon fiber construction benefit a hunting rifle?
Carbon fiber reduces overall weight—an asset during long days afield—while maintaining the rigidity needed for consistent accuracy. The material also resists environmental stress and temperature-induced shifts in zero better than conventional wood or polymer, keeping your rifle reliable across seasons and climates.
What is the Bergara Premier action?
The Premier is Bergara's modern rifle action, designed with controlled-feed mechanics and refined for both accuracy and dependability in the field and at the range.
