If you’re a left-handed shooter hunting for a precision bolt gun that actually fits you—not just a mirrored afterthought—the Bergara B-14 HMR LH .308 Win 20″ Cerakote Mini-Chassis is exactly what you need. This rifle pairs a rock-solid mini-chassis stock with a threaded, Cerakote-finished barrel, all built on a Remington 700-pattern receiver that takes standard scope bases. Chambered in .308 Winchester, it’s ready for steel, paper, or game right out of the box.

Key Features
- Left-Hand Action – WHY IT MATTERS: No more reaching over the top or fighting a right-eject gun. The bolt and ejection port are reversed for natural lefty operation, so you stay on target without breaking your cheek weld.
- HMR Mini-Chassis Stock – WHY IT MATTERS: The molded chassis gives you a rigid bedding platform, adjustable cheekpiece, and length-of-pull spacers. You dial in fit fast, which translates to consistent groups round after round.
- Threaded, Cerakote-Finished Barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: The 20″ barrel comes threaded 5/8×24 for muzzle brakes or suppressors, and the Cerakote finish resists rust and wear. One less thing to worry about when you’re out in wet brush or dusty range conditions.
- Remington 700-Pattern Receiver – WHY IT MATTERS: This footprint means you can use any R700 scope base, trigger, or aftermarket part. No proprietary nonsense—just swap what you want and keep shooting.
- QD Sling Mounts – WHY IT MATTERS: Toss a sling on for hikes to your hunting spot or for positional drills. The built-in QD cups are already there, so you don’t need extra hardware.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for left-handed recreational shooters who want a precise, reliable bolt gun for target shooting, hunting, or both. First-time buyers will appreciate the user-adjustable stock and simple scope-mounting options, while experienced shooters will love the mini-chassis rigidity and R700 compatibility. If you’re a lefty who’s tired of shooting right-handed rifles, this is your gun.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: The mini-chassis stock gives you a stable platform that’s easy to adjust for proper eye alignment and length of pull.
- Pro: Cerakote finish protects against the elements—rain, mud, sweat, you name it.
- Con: The 20″ barrel is a good all-rounder, but if you’re chasing max velocity for long-range competition, a 24″ or 26″ tube might edge it out. For hunting and most range work, this length is spot-on.
Comparison
| Feature | Bergara B-14 HMR LH | Tikka T3x Lite LH | Savage 110 Tactical LH |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stock | Mini-chassis with adjustable cheekpiece and LOP spacers | Synthetic, no cheek adjustment | AccuStock with adjustable cheekpiece |
| Barrel Finish | Cerakote | Blued or stainless | Matte black |
| Receiver Pattern | Remington 700 | Tikka proprietary | Savage proprietary |
| Weight | 9.4 lbs | 6.7 lbs | 10.2 lbs |
| Threaded Muzzle | Yes (5/8×24) | No (optional on some models) | Yes (5/8×24) |
The Bergara gives you the most aftermarket flexibility thanks to the R700 footprint, plus a mini-chassis stock that’s more rigid than the Tikka’s basic synthetic. The Savage is heavier and has its own proprietary system, so the Bergara hits the sweet spot for weight, features, and upgrade potential.
FAQ
What scope bases fit the Bergara B-14 HMR LH?
Because the receiver uses a Remington 700-pattern footprint, any standard R700 scope base or rail will fit. Just make sure your rings match the base height and your scope’s objective size.
Does the stock come with spacers for length of pull?
Yes, the HMR stock includes spacers that let you adjust length of pull from about 13.5″ to 14.5″. The cheekpiece is also adjustable for height, so you can dial in a perfect fit.
Can I use a suppressor with the threaded barrel?
Absolutely. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard thread pitch for .30-caliber suppressors. Just make sure your suppressor is rated for .308 Winchester.
Is this rifle only for left-handed shooters?
Yes, the action, ejection, and bolt handle are all configured for left-handed use. Right-handed shooters should look at the standard B-14 HMR.
What’s the magazine capacity?
The B-14 HMR LH uses AICS-pattern magazines. It comes with a 5-round magazine, but 10-rounders are available and work great.
According to NSSF data, left-handed shooters make up about 10% of the shooting population, yet finding a high-quality left-handed bolt gun in stock is still rare. Bergara stepped up to fill that gap with this model.
