Bergara B14 Squared Cima Cf Lede

Being light weight doesn't make you a lightweight, a maxim that Bergara Rifles is striving to prove with its new B-14 Squared Cima CF (Carbon Fiber) rifle. Bergara bills this bolt-action gun as its lightest B-14 model rifle yet, and at just 5.8 lbs. (unloaded), it sure delivers. The foundation of the Cima CF is its RTM sporter stock, 100% composed of an advanced carbon fiber that’s not only rigid, but also incredibly light—just 18 ozs.

This rifle was created for hunters who appreciate the balance and feel of a classic, sporter-style rifle, but whose adventures will take them into physically challenging places. Whether you intend to hike for miles or to climb thousands of feet, this rifle won't compromise on performance and reliability. Engineered with cutting-edge materials and proprietary manufacturing methods, it’s designed to deliver the unwavering accuracy that shooters have come to expect from Bergara. 

Inside the gun, an SMC carbon mini-chassis is precision-fit to provide the action with a solid bedding platform. This ultra-light chassis adds critical stiffness and rigidity without unnecessary weight, maximizing both structural integrity and accuracy.

Paired with the Bergara CURE carbon barrel, every element of the Cima CF is engineered for maximum weight reduction without sacrificing performance. This rifle comes in a variety of popular calibers including .308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, .22-250 Rem, 6.5 PRC, .300 Win Mag, 7mm PRC, and 300 PRC. The Cima CF is competitively priced with a MSRP of $1849.99; BergaraUSA.com
