Bergara B-14 Wilderness Ridge 6.5 Creedmoor Bolt-Action Rifle with Digital Camo - B14S522SP

The Bergara B-14 Wilderness Ridge 6.5 Creedmoor bolt-action rifle is built for hunters who demand a no-compromise performer in unforgiving terrain. This is a rifle engineered to handle the backcountry — where weather is harsh, conditions are unpredictable, and your gear needs to deliver. The B-14 Wilderness Ridge bridges Bergara's core B-14 platform with features and finishes designed specifically for wilderness hunting: a hand-painted digital camouflage synthetic stock with textured webbing for secure handling, a Sniper Grey Cerakote barrel that resists corrosion and weathering, and a factory-ported muzzle brake that reduces felt recoil up to 35 percent. This isn't a rifle trying to do everything; it's a rifle built to do one thing extremely well — get you reliable accuracy in the backcountry.

At the heart of the Wilderness Ridge is Bergara's acclaimed two-lug bolt action, a design known for smooth feeding and reliable extraction. The barrel is a Bergara number 5 profile, threaded 5/8-24 and topped with an omnidirectional muzzle brake. A Bergara Performance Trigger comes standard, delivering a crisp, predictable break. The American-style synthetic stock features a SoftTouch finish for a secure grip in wet conditions, and the rifle ships with a hinged floor plate for straightforward magazine changes and field maintenance. Factory drilling and tapping for Remington 700-style rings and bases means you're ready to mount optics without trips to a gunsmith.

In 6.5 Creedmoor, the Wilderness Ridge offers a cartridge trusted by long-range hunters for its ballistics, moderate recoil, and availability. The hinged floor plate carries four rounds in standard configuration. Whether you're glassing from a ridgeline or hiking deep into public land, the Wilderness Ridge balances weight and capability — a serious hunting rifle that doesn't apologize for how it looks or performs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What scope mount system does the B-14 Wilderness Ridge use?

The rifle is factory drilled and tapped to accept Remington 700-style rings and bases using 6-48 screws. This is one of the most common mounting standards and gives you broad options for optic selection at any budget level.

How much does the muzzle brake reduce recoil?

Bergara's omnidirectional ported muzzle brake is rated to reduce felt recoil by up to 35 percent. The exact reduction will depend on shooting technique, how tightly you're holding the rifle, and the ammunition you're using.

What comes in the box, and how do I load ammunition?

The rifle ships as a complete, ready-to-shoot package. It features a hinged floor plate, which means you release a lever or catch to open the magazine box, load your rounds, and close it back up — a field-proven system for quick magazine changes and routine cleaning.

Is the 6.5 Creedmoor the right caliber for hunting?

The 6.5 Creedmoor is a proven long-range hunting cartridge respected for its ballistics, moderate recoil, and wide ammunition availability. It's effective on deer-sized and larger game at extended ranges, and the lighter recoil compared to larger magnums can help with follow-up accuracy, especially on longer days in the field.
