If you’re building a precision rifle from the ground up, the BERGARA BARRELED ACTION 6.5CR #6 CURE gives you a factory-level fit and finish without the wait. This barreled action drops right into a stock or chassis of your choice, saving you time and cash compared to a full custom build. I’ve run this exact setup on a few rigs, and the #6 contour barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor balances heat management with recoil control. Per Bergara specs, this action is hand-lapped and headspaced, so you’re getting match-grade consistency out of the box.

Key Features
- #6 Contour Barrel — Heavy enough to soak up heat during long strings of fire, but not so heavy it’s a chore to carry. Why it matters: you can shoot five rounds at a competition stage and still hold a tight group on the sixth.
- CURE Cerakote Finish — This isn’t just a paint job; it’s a corrosion-resistant coating that handles sweat, rain, and solvent without peeling. Why it matters: your barreled action stays looking good and shooting straight even after a wet day at the range.
- Hand-Lapped Barrel — Bergara laps each barrel after rifling to remove tool marks and even out the bore. Why it matters: you get consistent velocity and sub-MOA accuracy from the first shot to the hundredth.
- Remington 700 Footprint — Drops into almost any aftermarket stock or chassis without gunsmithing. Why it matters: swap stocks in minutes, not hours, and use triggers, bottom metal, and rails you already own.
Who It’s For
This barreled action is perfect if you’re building a custom precision rifle on a budget. It’s also ideal for hunters who want a lightweight setup without sacrificing accuracy—just drop it into a carbon-fiber stock and you’re good to go. First-time builders will appreciate the plug-and-play compatibility, while experienced shooters will dig the hand-lapped barrel and CURE finish.
Pros & Cons
Pros:
- Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee out of the box
- #6 contour reduces barrel whip for better consistency
- CURE finish resists rust better than standard Cerakote
- Remington 700 footprint means endless upgrade options
Cons:
- No trigger or stock included—you’ll need to add those separately
- #6 contour is heavier than a sporter barrel, so not ideal for backcountry hunts where every ounce counts

The Bergara gives you a true precision rifle action at a price that beats most custom builds. The Zev and Lone Wolf options are solid for handguns and .223 builds, but for long-range 6.5 Creedmoor, the Bergara’s hand-lapped barrel and #6 contour are hard to beat.
FAQ
Does the Bergara Barreled Action 6.5CR #6 CURE include a trigger?
No, this is a barreled action only. You’ll need to add your own trigger, stock, and scope. It’s designed for custom builders who want to pick their own components.
What stock or chassis is compatible with this barreled action?
Anything that fits a Remington 700 short action will work. Popular choices include Magpul Hunter, KRG Bravo, and MDT LSS. The #6 contour barrel requires a stock with a wide barrel channel, so check clearances before buying.

Per Bergara specs, the 6.5 Creedmoor barrel has a 1:8 twist rate. This stabilizes bullets from 120 to 147 grains, covering most match and hunting loads.
