Bergara B-14 Cima CF 6.5 Creedmoor 20″ Carbon Fiber

The Bergara B-14 Cima CF 6.5 Creedmoor 20″ Carbon Fiber is a sporter-weight bolt-action rifle built for the hunter who demands precision at distance. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, it pairs a 20-inch CURE carbon fiber barrel with a 1:8 twist rate, an RTM carbon fiber stock, and a spiral-fluted bolt for reliable cycling. The factory trigger breaks clean, the Omni muzzlebrake tames recoil, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for optics. This is a lightweight rig that puts rounds on target without the bulk.

Key Features

• CURE Carbon Fiber Barrel — Wraps a steel liner in continuous unidirectional carbon fiber, shedding heat faster than steel alone while keeping the weight under 6.5 lbs. This matters because you can carry it all day on a mountain hunt and still hold sub-MOA groups after multiple shots.
• RTM Carbon Fiber Sporter Stock — Resin Transfer Molding creates a void-free, rigid stock that won’t flex under bipod load. Why it matters: consistent cheek weld and fore-end pressure mean your point of impact stays put shot to shot.
• Spiral-Fluted Bolt — Reduces bolt mass and surface friction for smoother cycling. The flutes also shed debris and light rain, so the action stays slick in field conditions.
• Bergara Performance Trigger — Factory-set at 2.5–3 lbs with zero creep. Why it matters: a crisp, predictable break eliminates the flinch on a 600-yard steel target.
• Omni Muzzlebrake — Multi-port design redirects gas to cut recoil by roughly 40% (per Bergara specs). Why it matters: you spot your own hits without losing the reticle.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the precision-minded hunter who wants one rifle for elk, mule deer, and long-range steel. If you’ve been dragging a 12-pound target rifle up a ridge and wishing for something lighter, the B-14 Cima CF is your answer. It’s also for the reloader who knows 6.5 Creedmoor shines with 140–147 grain bullets at 2,600+ fps from a 20-inch tube.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Sub-6.5 lbs ready-to-hunt weight with a 20-inch barrel — balances like a walking stick.
• Pro: Factory trigger breaks clean at 2.5 lbs with no take-up; adjustable if you want lighter.
• Pro: 1:8 twist stabilizes heavy-for-caliber bullets (147 ELD-M, 140 Hybrid) for extended transonic range.
• Con: The proprietary CURE barrel is not user-replaceable; if you burn out the throat (unlikely in a hunting rifle), you’ll need a Bergara smith to rebarrel it.
• Con: The hinged floorplate is functional but not as secure as a detachable box magazine for rapid reloads in competition.

FAQ

What twist rate does the Bergara B-14 Cima CF 6.5 Creedmoor 20″ Carbon Fiber have?

The factory barrel is cut with a 1:8 twist rate. This stabilizes bullets from 120 to 156 grains, including the 147 ELD-M and 140 Berger Hybrid — ideal for long-range hunting and target work.

Does the Bergara B-14 Cima CF come with a muzzlebrake?

Yes. The 20-inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24 and ships with Bergara’s Omni muzzlebrake installed. The brake is ported to reduce recoil by roughly 40% and can be swapped for a suppressor or flash hider.

What is the weight of the Bergara B-14 Cima CF?

Per Bergara published specs, the rifle weighs 6.2 lbs empty. Add a scope and rings, and you’re looking at about 7.5–8 lbs ready to hunt — light enough for all-day carry in the backcountry.

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

The action uses Bergara’s proprietary trigger hanger, but aftermarket triggers from Timney and TriggerTech are available that drop in. Check the manufacturer’s fitment list before ordering.

Can I mount a suppressor on the Bergara B-14 Cima CF?

Yes. The 5/8×24 threaded muzzle accepts most 30-caliber suppressors. Remove the Omni brake, install a direct-thread mount, and you’re set. Keep in mind the 20-inch barrel plus a suppressor will add about 6–8 inches overall length.
