Key Features
- Integrated Mini-Chassis: The synthetic stock has a molded aluminum mini-chassis that gives you repeatable bedding, so your rifle holds zero and stays consistent shot after shot.
- Omnidirectional Muzzle Brake: This multi-ported brake cuts recoil drastically, keeping you on target faster for follow-up shots on game.
- Bergara Performance Trigger: Adjustable from 1.5 to 3.5 pounds, this trigger breaks clean with zero creep, helping you shoot tighter groups.
- Adjustable Cheekpiece and LOP: You get a comb that moves up and down and spacers to change length of pull, so the rifle fits your body perfectly for comfort and accuracy.
- AICS-Style Detachable Magazine: Holds 3 rounds of 6.5 PRC, feeds smoothly, and lets you reload fast without fumbling with internal boxes.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who wants long-range precision without the weight of a dedicated target rig. It works great for mountain elk hunts, prairie dog fields, or steel out to 800 yards. First-time buyers will appreciate the easy fit adjustments, and experienced shooters will like the accuracy out of the box.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee from Bergara, excellent recoil reduction from the brake, and the adjustable stock fits a wide range of body types.
- Cons: The 6.5 PRC ammo is pricier and less common than .308 Win, so stock up early if you plan to shoot a lot.
