Bergara B-14 Cima CF .308 Win 20″ Carbon Fiber Rifle

The Bergara B-14 Cima CF .308 Win 20″ carbon fiber rifle is a lightweight, sporter-style bolt-action built for hunters and precision shooters who want to shave ounces without giving up accuracy. At roughly 5.8 pounds, it pairs a Bergara CURE carbon fiber barrel with an RTM carbon fiber stock and an SMC carbon mini-chassis, giving you a rigid bedding platform that keeps weight minimal. The hinged floorplate holds 4 rounds, and the barrel is threaded 5/8×24 for a brake or suppressor.

Key Features

• CURE Carbon Fiber Barrel – Bergara’s own CURE barrel uses a carbon fiber wrap over a steel core to cut weight while maintaining the stiffness needed for consistent accuracy. Why it matters: you get a sub-6-pound rifle that still holds tight groups shot after shot.
• RTM Carbon Fiber Sporter Stock – Resin Transfer Molding creates a rigid, lightweight stock that won’t flex under recoil. Why it matters: a solid foundation means your point of impact stays the same even when you’re carrying it through rough terrain.
• SMC Carbon Mini-Chassis – This internal chassis locks the action and barrel together as one unit. Why it matters: it gives you the bedding consistency of a full chassis system without the extra weight, so you can trust the rifle to shoot where you aim.
• Hinged Floorplate with 4-Round Capacity – A simple, reliable magazine system that lets you unload without cycling rounds. Why it matters: you can clear the rifle quickly after a hunt or at the range, and the low profile keeps the rifle sleek.
• Threaded Barrel (5/8×24) – Factory-threaded for muzzle brakes or suppressors. Why it matters: you can add a can or brake without sending the barrel to a gunsmith, saving time and money.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the hunter who hikes miles into the backcountry and wants a gun that won’t wear them out before they reach the glassing spot. It’s also for the precision shooter who wants a lightweight rig for positional matches or steel ringing at distance. First-time buyers will appreciate the easy handling and the fact that it doesn’t need a bunch of aftermarket parts to shoot well.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Sub-6-pound weight makes it one of the lightest production .308 rifles you can buy.
• Pro: Bergara’s CURE barrel is known for accuracy right out of the box.
• Pro: Factory-threaded barrel means you can suppress it without extra work.

FAQ

What barrel twist rate does the Bergara B-14 Cima CF have?

The 20″ carbon fiber barrel uses a 1:10 twist rate, which stabilizes most .308 bullets from 150 to 180 grains. That covers everything from hunting loads to match ammo.

Can I mount a bipod on this rifle?

Yes. The RTM carbon fiber stock has a sling swivel stud on the fore-end, so you can attach a bipod directly or use a swivel-mounted bipod. Just make sure the bipod has a standard stud mount.

Is the Bergara B-14 Cima CF compatible with aftermarket triggers?

It uses Bergara’s B-14 trigger system, which is adjustable from 2–4 lbs. You can swap it with a Timney or TriggerTech drop-in trigger designed for Remington 700 clones—Bergara actions are 700-pattern compatible.

Does the rifle come with a scope base?

No, it does not include a scope base or rings. You’ll need to buy a one-piece or two-piece base that fits a Remington 700 footprint. Most shooters go with a Picatinny rail for flexibility.
