Last year, vaunted Spanish barrel maker Bergara announced that it'd be producing full-fledged performance rifles. The announcement caught the eye of more than a few American hunters, who have taken to the company's B-14 Timber and B-14 Hunter with ease. For 2016 there'll be another option: the B-14 Woodsman.

The B-14 Woodsman rifle is built on a classic style, oil-finished walnut stock, with a checkered pistol grip and forend. The Woodsman comes with either the Bergara B-14 Long or Short Action, a Bergara Performance Curved trigger, and is available with a hinged floorplate or a detachable 4-round magazine. Caliber offerings include: .30-06, .300 Win Mag, .270, 7mm-Rem Mag, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .308 Win.

Bergara is also expanding its B-14 Hunter offerings this year. The Hunter, which features a Sporter-style lightweight synthetic stock, will be available with a 4-round detachable magazine, and comes in .300 Win Mag, .30-06, .270, 7MM Rem Mag, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .308 Win.

The Woodsman ships with an MSRP of $945, while the B-14 Hunter rifle starts at $825.

5 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me Before My First Elk Hunt

I grew up hunting whitetails in the Midwest, and while I thought I was in “elk shape” on my first western hunt, I quickly learned that chasing elk at high elevation requires an entirely different level of fitness. You’ll likely hike for hours, oftentimes at high elevation, and many of trails you’ll follow are filled with deadfall and uneven rocks. If you’re fortunate enough to fill your tag, the real work starts.
