Bergara B14 Rimfire Threaded Bolt Handle Upgrade
Our Bergara B14 Rimfire bolt handle was inspired by the first of its kind threaded bolt handle for the Tikka T1X. After testing and adjusting this bolt handle, we now have the finished product. If you liked our first adjustable bolt handle, you will love this one.
While this bolt handle first catches the eye because of the knurling at the top, aesthetic appeal comes second to its other design features. With Bergara B14 Rimfire specs and 416 Stainless Steel construction, this bolt handle works like a dream.
Bergara B14 Vs. Tikka T1X: Adjustable Bolt Handles
Like our adjustable Tikka T1X bolt handle, this bolt handle can rotate and clamp in place. However, there are some differences.
Thread Pitch for Bergara B14
The Bergara B14 requires a different thread pitch than the Tikka T1X. To meet the criteria, we adjusted this bolt handle pitch to match it.
Bend Angle of the Bolt Handle
The Bergara B14 bolt handle naturally lays closer to the trigger, which means the angle of the bend in the handle needed adjusting. As a result, the bend in this bolt handle isn't as far back as the original.
Number of Handle Pieces
The last difference between our Bergara B14 and Tikka T1X adjustable bolt handles are the number of pieces in the bolt handle. Unlike our first version, this bolt handle has two instead of three parts.
We took the adaptor out of this version. This change helps improve the simplicity and function of the bolt handle.
Why a Shooter Would Want an Adjustable Bolt Handle For Their Bergara
While the natural position of the stock bolt handle on the Bergara affords good positioning, upgrading to our adjustable bolt handle provides a couple of benefits. These advantages include improved speed and consistency of groupings. When combined, these improvements make a drastic difference in the shooter's overall performance.
The Need For Speed
The adjustability of this handle makes it possible for the shooter to make minor adjustments to the bolt knob position. When a bolt handle can adjust to the profile of the shooter, they can grasp the bolt knob with ease.
This improvement makes racking the bolt a fluid motion, which shortens the intervals in between shots. When in a timed station at a competition, those few precious seconds could mean another hit before having to move on to the next station.
Improving Accuracy and Consistency
Because the bolt handle can adjust to the shooter's preference, the gun doesn't move around as much when racking the bolt. The less the gun moves, the better, because it is more likely that the next shot will be close to the last, or the shooter can quickly adjust and take the shot without looking away from the scope.

Near perfect but....
I really like this handle. It allows some fine tuning
adjustment of the bolt knob in a arc that is very useful. Fit and finish is excellent too. That said, I have two minor gripes. 1) The handle is threaded to receive a 5/16-24 knob vs the M6x1 factory knob. if you replace the handle, your factory knob must be replaced as well. 2) While the install vid shows it as being easy, the factory handle is a BEAR to get out. I ended up using a torch, leather, and heavy vice grips to get the old handle out. It took 20 min of fiddling and the old handle did get damaged. Buyers should be warned that this does not install as easily as shown. -
Fantastic upgrade
Was a little apprehensive if it was worth the money….oh yes! Way cool looking, super functional and just general great addition to my B14R. This allows the new Dragon Scale knob to function with little effort. The only issue I had was that I couldn’t get a wrench on the handle where it locks. I had to use some vice grips with leather to protect. Worked great. Love the combo. Was expensive, but a fantastic upgrade!!

Great upgrade
Really appreciate the ability to adjust the bolt knob to how I run the bolt on all my rifles. Factory placement is poorly designed. Easy to install this product and so far no issues with handle or knob coming loose. Only negative is the shine on the anodized aluminum knob. Wish it were steel and matched the rifle and handle better.
