Bergara B-14 Timber 6.5 Creedmoor Left-Hand Rifle

Description

The B-14 Timber is Bergara’s answer to a working hunting rifle that doesn’t require an apology for being carried into the field. It’s built for the shooter who wants a rifle that looks and feels like a traditional wood-stocked bolt gun but is assembled to tighter production standards than that category typically delivers. The left-hand configuration means the bolt handle falls naturally to the right hand for southpaw shooters rather than requiring a cross-body reach, which matters on a follow-up shot when an animal is still on its feet.

The stock is a walnut Monte Carlo design — the raised comb positions your eye consistently behind an optic without craning your neck, which becomes meaningful on a cold morning when you’re wearing heavier clothing. The barrel wears a Graphite Black Cerakote finish that resists moisture and condensation without the weight penalty of a heavy stainless profile.

The 1-in-8″ twist rate is worth understanding if you’re selecting ammunition. That rate stabilizes heavier, high-BC 6.5mm projectiles — the 140-grain class that makes the cartridge useful at distance — more reliably than the faster twists sometimes found on budget barrels. Lighter 120-grain loads will also shoot well; you’re not giving anything up at the light end, but the rifle is optimized for the heavier half of what 6.5 Creedmoor offers commercially.

The receiver is drilled and tapped, so scope mounting is straightforward with any standard base. The Bergara Performance Trigger is adjustable, which lets you set a pull weight that suits your shooting style rather than working around whatever the factory ships. A manual thumb safety keeps the action simple and snag-free in a hunting pack or saddle scabbard.
