For those looking to cut down the weight of their hunting loadout, Bergara has just released its lightest B-14 yet—the Squared Cima CF.
Some hunters carry their gear for far greater distances than others, but nobody likes lugging a heavy rifle around. In response, companies have been competing to make the lightest hunting rifles possible. The most recent release to follow this trend is from Bergara in the form of the B-14 Squared Cima CF.
The CF in its name stands for Carbon Fiber, the major method used to bring down the rifle’s weight to a scant 5.8 pounds for the lightest model. The RTM sporter stock is 100% carbon fiber, and its manufacturing method results in a very rigid stock despite weighing only 18 ounces. To ensure that the rifle is as accurate as it is tough, an SMC carbon mini-chassis is closely fitted to give the action a solid bedding as well. This helps keep the whole package rigid without adding too much weight. The final piece is the CURE carbon barrel that features a No. 6 taper and an Omni muzzle brake (muzzle is threaded 5/8×24).
The B-14 Squared Cima CF is available in .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, .22-250 Remington, 6.5 PRC, .300 Winchester Magnum, 7 PRC and 300 PRC. Depending on the caliber, the capacity ranges between two and four rounds, the barrel length ranges between 20 and 22 inches and the weight between 5.8 and 6.2 pounds. Other features include an adjustable Bergara Performance Trigger and an M5 bottom metal hinged floorplate that’s easily convertible to be AICS-compatible. MSRP is $1,850.
