Bergara B-14 Crest 25 Creedmoor 20" 5rd Sniper Gray Rifle

25 Creedmoor answers an old question, which is how to push a heavy quarter bore bullet fast without beating up the shooter, and the B-14 Crest is a sensible home for it. Bergara wraps the action in a 100% carbon fiber stock carrying a carbon spine through the forend, so the rifle stays stiff where it matters and light everywhere else. Length of pull spacers come in the box. The shell is black with gray sponge accents and the metal wears a Sniper Gray coat that disappears in rock and sage.

The barrel is a 20" fluted steel tube, short enough to swing in thick cover and threaded at the muzzle for the Omni brake, which is included. Inside, the B-14 action runs a fluted bolt with a coned nose and a sliding plate extractor, and the steel receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases. A detachable AICS pattern magazine holds 5 rounds. The Bergara Performance trigger breaks clean, which matters more than most spec sheet numbers once you are shooting off a pack at an odd angle. Right hand action, with the balance sitting between the hands the way a carry rifle should.
