Description
For years the only way to get a Bergara Premier action was to buy a complete rifle. Now you can start a custom build with the same barreled action Bergara puts in their competition guns. This one wears a 26 inch 416 stainless steel Bergara barrel in the heavy No.7 contour, the same profile found on their Comp Rifle, chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 1:8 twist that stabilizes the long, high-BC bullets this cartridge is known for. All that steel out front soaks up heat and keeps the barrel steady through long strings, which is exactly what you want when you're running a stage or working a load ladder at the bench.
Why the Premier Action Earns Its Name
The receiver is machined in the USA from 416 stainless and follows the Remington 700 footprint, so it fits most 700-pattern stocks, chassis, triggers, and bottom metal on the market. Bergara didn't just clone a 700 though. You get an enlarged bolt handle for fast, positive cycling, a spiral fluted bolt body, a floating bolt head for consistent lug engagement, and a dual ejector paired with a sliding plate extractor for reliable ejection round after round. The receiver comes drilled and tapped for 700-style scope bases using beefier 8-40 screws, which hold zero better under heavy recoil and hard use than the old 6-48 pattern.
Suppressor-Ready 6.5 Creedmoor Barrel
The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, the most common thread pitch for 6.5 Creedmoor cans and brakes, and a thread protector is included to keep things clean when you're running it bare. The raw stainless finish shrugs off the elements and looks right at home in a bare aluminum chassis or a cerakoted build.
Who Should Build on This Bergara Premier
At roughly 7.7 pounds for the barreled action alone, this is a foundation for a match rifle, a PRS-style rig, or a dedicated long-range setup rather than a mountain gun. Drop in your favorite trigger, bed it into the chassis or stock of your choice, and you've skipped straight past the gunsmithing to the fun part. Bergara barrels have a well-earned reputation for accuracy out of the box, and this one gives you that head start on your own terms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Bergara Premier barreled action fit Remington 700 stocks and chassis?
Yes, the receiver is built on the Remington 700 footprint and is designed to fit most 700-pattern stocks, chassis, and bottom metal. It also accepts Rem 700 style scope bases, though note the mounting holes use the stronger 8-40 screw pattern rather than the older 6-48, so make sure your base or rail matches.
Does this barreled action come with a trigger or stock?
No, this is the barreled receiver only. You'll need to add your own 700-pattern trigger, stock or chassis, and bottom metal to complete the build. That's the whole appeal here since it lets you pick exactly the components you want without paying for parts you plan to swap out anyway.
What bullet weights will the 1:8 twist stabilize in 6.5 Creedmoor?
The 1:8 twist handles the full range of common 6.5mm bullets, including the long 140 to 147 grain match projectiles that make this cartridge such a favorite for long-range work. It also shoots lighter 120 to 130 grain hunting and match loads just fine, so you're covered whether you're punching paper at distance or loading for the field.
Is the muzzle ready for a suppressor?
It is. The 26 inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard pitch for most 6.5 Creedmoor suppressors and muzzle brakes, and a thread protector comes installed for when you're shooting without a device attached.
