For a long time, the only way to get your hands on a Bergara Premier action was to buy a complete rifle. Now you can start a custom build with the same barreled action that anchors their Premier lineup, and this 6.5 PRC version is a strong place to begin. You get a 26-inch No. 5.5 contour barrel machined from 416 stainless steel, honed at Bergara's barrel facility, and rifled with a 1:8 twist that handles the heavy, high BC bullets the 6.5 PRC was built around. The extra barrel length squeezes out the velocity this cartridge is known for, which matters when you're stretching shots past 800 yards or trying to keep energy on target for elk-sized game.
The action itself is machined in the USA from 416 stainless and runs a two-lug bolt with a separate floating bolt head, a coned bolt nose for smooth feeding, and a spring-loaded sliding plate extractor backed by dual ejectors. The spiral-fluted bolt body and enlarged handle make it easy to run fast from any position. Since it's built on the Remington 700 footprint, you can pair it with the huge aftermarket of 700-pattern short action stocks and chassis, and it accepts standard Rem 700 triggers, so a TriggerTech or Timney drops right in. The receiver is drilled and tapped 8-40 for scope bases, which gives you a more secure mount than the older 6-48 pattern.
The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and ships with a thread protector, so there's no trip to the gunsmith before you spin on a can or a brake. At 5.8 pounds bare, the No. 5.5 contour strikes a nice middle ground: enough steel for consistent strings at the range without turning your finished rifle into a boat anchor. Whether you're piecing together a western hunting rig or a do-it-all long range gun, this gives you the two parts that matter most for accuracy, already mated and ready to go.
No, this ships as a barreled action only, so you'll need to supply your own trigger. The good news is the receiver accepts standard Remington 700 pattern triggers, so popular options like TriggerTech and Timney install without any fitting. That lets you pick the exact pull weight and feel you want for your build.
It's built on the Remington 700 short action footprint, so it fits most 700-pattern short action stocks and chassis on the market. That includes popular options from MDT, KRG, Foundation, MPA, and plenty of others. Just make sure the inlet matches the No. 5.5 barrel contour or has enough channel clearance for it.
Yes, the barrel comes threaded 5/8×24 from the factory and includes a thread protector. That's the most common thread pitch for 6.5mm and .30 caliber muzzle devices, so nearly any suppressor or brake in that class will spin right on.
It will. The 1:8 twist handles the long, high BC projectiles the 6.5 PRC was designed for, including 140 to 156 grain match and hunting bullets. Combined with the 26-inch barrel getting full velocity out of the cartridge, it's a solid setup for long range work and big game hunting alike.
