Building a custom bolt gun usually means sourcing an action, buying a barrel blank, and paying a gunsmith to chamber and headspace everything. This Bergara Premier barreled action skips all of that. You get Bergara's USA-made Premier action already mated to one of their 416 stainless barrels, chambered in .308 Win with a 20 inch No. 5.5 contour and 1:10 twist. Bergara built its reputation on barrels long before it built complete rifles, so the tube on this thing is the real selling point. This is the same contour they run on the HMR Pro, stiff enough for consistent strings at distance but not so heavy that a finished field rifle becomes a chore to carry.
The action itself follows the Remington 700 footprint, so it drops into most aftermarket stocks and chassis and accepts Rem 700 pattern triggers, which opens up a huge parts catalog. The spiral fluted bolt runs a floating two-lug bolt head with a sliding plate extractor and dual ejectors for positive, reliable case handling. An enlarged bolt handle gives you plenty to grab when running the gun fast, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for Rem 700 style bases with the beefier 8-40 screw pattern, a nice touch for keeping heavy optics locked down.
The 20 inch length is a smart pick for .308. You give up very little velocity compared to a 24 inch tube, and once you spin a suppressor onto the 5/8×24 threads the overall package stays handy instead of turning into a pole vault. The 1:10 twist stabilizes the full range of common .308 bullet weights, from light varmint loads up through 175 grain match ammo. A thread protector comes installed for shooters running it bare. At 4.9 pounds for the barreled action, you have room to build anything from a practical hunting rig to a heavier precision setup depending on the stock and glass you bolt on. Add a trigger, drop it in your chassis, and you are most of the way to a rifle that would cost a lot more from a custom shop.
Yes, the Premier action is built on the Remington 700 footprint and fits most Rem 700 pattern short action stocks and chassis. It also accepts Rem 700 style triggers and uses Rem 700 style scope bases with an 8-40 screw pattern. As with any semi-custom build, some chassis may need minor fitting, but compatibility is broad.
No, this is just the action and barrel, fully chambered and headspaced from the factory. You will need to add a Rem 700 pattern trigger, a stock or chassis, and a bottom metal or magazine setup to complete the rifle. That is the appeal for builders, since you pick every other component yourself.
A 1:10 twist is the sweet spot for .308 Winchester and stabilizes everything from lighter 150 grain hunting loads up through 175 and 178 grain match bullets. That covers the vast majority of factory ammo and common handload recipes. It gives you flexibility whether you are building a hunting rig or a precision gun.
Yes, the 20 inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard pattern for most .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle brakes. A thread protector is included and comes installed. The shorter 20 inch barrel keeps overall length manageable once a can is mounted.
