A good riflescope is a must for a flawless hunting experience. When it comes to a rifle like the B14 HMR, you will need a great riflescope to compliment it. In our experience, finding the right scope for a rifle takes more work than we would like to admit.
Don’t worry, we are not going to put all that hassle on you. Instead, we are going to give you a shortlist of the best scopes for Bergara B14 HMR 308. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the read.
1. NIGHTFORCE SHV 4-14x50mm F1 Illuminated Scope
NightForce scopes are kind of weird. Not because the scopes are weird, weird as in the name. The scope from NightForce isn’t a night vision scope. Instead, SHV is a long-range riflescope suitable for hunters.
It’s made out of aluminum and features a single-tube design. The tube is internally purged to make it fogproof internally and externally. The lenses of the scope are fully multi-coated and they are sealed on the scope with O-rings. Thanks to that, the scope is 100% waterproof. Although the scope is not suitable for underwater shooting, it’s suitable for shooting under rain.
The weight of this scope is not too much either. It’s relatively light and is a perfect pairing with the B-14 HMR. The center of the reticle is illuminated. As the reticle is in FFP and illuminated, you get a clear vision of your target no matter what.
Is this in FFP?
Yes, it’s an FFP reticle.
What is the overall length of this scope?
Around 14.8”.
Does this come with mounting rings?
It doesn’t.
2. Vortex Optics Viper PST Gen II 5-25×50 Riflescope
Vortex is one of the leading brands in the industry when it comes to making scopes for hunting rifles. The Viper PST Gen II is the first focal plane riflescope from Vortex. The Viper is mainly suitable for hunters. While you can do tactical shooting with this, it’s a better match for rifles like B14.
The riflescope is made out of aircraft aluminum. It’s lightweight, durable, and rugged. It will last you for a good while as well. The internal of the scope is purged with chemicals. The chemical purging makes it fogproof. You can use the scope in any weather. As hunters tend to hunt in the deep jungle, the sunlight there is thin and can’t reach most corners.
In short, it’s a great scope for hunting in low-light conditions. The lenses of the scope are fully multi-coated. The lenses are O-ring sealed as well. Thanks to that, the scope is 100% waterproof. Pairing this with a .308 firing gun like B14. Honestly, I would go as far as to say this is the best scope for Bergara B14 HMR 308. The price-to-performance value of this scope is straight-up unreal.
Does this scope come with mounting rings?
It doesn’t.
Where is this scope made?
It’s made in the Philippines.
Is this FFP?
Yes, it’s FFP.
3. Burris Signature HD 5-25×50 Hunting Scope
Burris Signature HD is a mid-budget long-range riflescope for hunters. The scope is not priced too high for most beginners. Honestly, it’s one of the best hunting riflescopes from price to performance-wise. The scope comes in a variety of different magnifications and reticles. Depending on what you prefer and choose, the price may increase slightly.
The scope is made out of aluminum and is hollow inside. The hollow shell is then purged with nitrogen to make it immune to moisture. As the lenses of the scopes are sealed in places with air block, it’s 100% waterproof. On top of that, the scope and the turrets are shockproof as well. You don’t need to worry about resetting zero after each shot.
The lenses of the scope are fully multi-coated. It’s suitable for low light and bright sunlight. You can use this scope for tactical and military, of course. But for hunting, the performance of this scope is something else. It can easily beat most of the scopes priced similarly to this riflescope.
Where is this scope made in?
It’s made in China.
Does it come with mounting rings?
No, it doesn’t.
Does it come with sunshade?
No, it doesn’t.

Things To Keep in Mind Before Buying
Here are some things that you should consider while buying a scope for your B14.
Build Quality
B14 fires 308 cartridges and that packs a huge kick. The recoil is not tame by any means and it’s not forgiving either. If you use a poorly made scope, it will get obliterated on the first shot. Do yourself a favor, spend a bit more, and grab a well-built scope.
Weight
Weight is another key factor to consider. Don’t take an overweight scope. It will destroy the balance of the gun and make you miss shots.
Lens Quality
Lenses are the most important part of a riflescope. You will see through them for a long time and you want your experience to be flawless. Don’t take a scope with poor lenses.
Summary
I said what I had in mind and I believe that information will be enough to buy the best possible scope for B14 HMR. I hope you read the entire thing and now know more than you did before. Choosing a scope won’t be hard unless you make it hard. If you know what you want from a scope, it becomes a lot easier.
With that said, that’s the end for now. But we will be back with more articles for you guys soon. Till then take care.
