Bergara Unveils Its New Ultra-Lightweight B-14 Squared Crest Rifle
Luke Cuenco 01.05.23
Bergara rifles are well respected in the shooting and hunting industries for their great accuracy and extreme attention to craftsmanship. One thing that Bergara customers have been after for quite a while is for the company to put its own carbon fiber offering on the table for customers to try out. Today Bergara announced the introduction of their new B-14 Squared Crest Rifle which carries along with it all the great benefits and features of the B-14 series but adds a new ultra-lightweight design featuring a 100% carbon fiber stock, and a new fluted bolt to reduce weight. This new lightweight design should keep the rifle at a weight that is attractive to backcountry hunters while still keeping the legendary accuracy and reliability that the Bergara name normally comes with.
