Bergara Premier Series Barreled Action .300 PRC 26in

Bergara Premier Series Barreled Action .300 PRC 26in

The Bergara Premier Series barreled action .300 PRC 26in gives you a precision long-range foundation built on the Remington 700 footprint. It comes with a 26-inch No. 5.5 contour barrel made from 416 stainless steel, threaded 5/8×24 for brakes or suppressors, and a 1:9 twist rate that stabilizes heavy match bullets. This is a direct path to a custom rifle without the wait.

Key Features

• 416 Stainless Barrel with No. 5.5 Contour – The heavy taper reduces barrel whip and heat shift, keeping your groups tight through long strings of fire. It’s a proven profile for PRS and ELR shooting.
• 5/8×24 Threaded Muzzle with Thread Protector – Makes attaching a suppressor or brake quick and secure, so you can tune recoil and sound signature to your setup.
• Remington 700 Footprint Action – Drops into hundreds of aftermarket stocks and chassis without modifications. You get immediate access to triggers, bottom metal, and scope bases from brands like Timney and Geissele.
• Drilled and Tapped for 8-40 Scope Bases – The 8-40 thread is stronger than standard 6-48, giving you a rock-solid mount for heavy scopes under magnum recoil. No worries about base creep.
• 1:9 Twist Rate – Optimized for 225-250 grain .300 PRC bullets, including the Hornady ELD-X and Berger hybrids. You’ll see consistent expansion and BC retention at distance.

Who It’s For

This barreled action is for shooters who want to build a custom .300 PRC without buying a complete rifle and swapping parts. It fits anyone from first-time long-range builders to competitive shooters looking for a proven platform. If you’re already running a Remington 700 pattern stock or chassis, you can drop this in and be shooting in an afternoon.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Raw stainless finish means no coating to wear off or chip, and you can easily cerakote or nitride later if you want.
• Pro: 8-40 scope base threads give you a stronger hold than standard 6-48, especially under the recoil of a .300 PRC.
• Con: The raw stainless finish can show fingerprints and minor handling marks more than a matte or coated surface. A quick wipe-down keeps it looking clean.

FAQ

Does this barreled action come with a trigger?

No, it does not include a trigger. You’ll need to add a Remington 700 pattern trigger separately. Popular options include Timney, TriggerTech, and Geissele.

What stock or chassis will this fit?

It fits any stock or chassis designed for the Remington 700 short-action footprint. Brands like Magpul, KRG, MDT, and McMillan all make compatible options. Check the inlet for a heavy barrel contour.

Is the barrel pre-threaded for a suppressor?

Yes, the muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and includes a thread protector. It’s ready for direct-thread suppressors or muzzle brakes.

What twist rate does this barrel have?

1:9 twist. That’s ideal for stabilizing heavy .300 PRC bullets from 225 to 250 grains, like the Hornady 225gr ELD-M or Berger 245gr OTM.

Can I use this for hunting?

Yes, but the No. 5.5 contour barrel is heavy (around 4.1 lbs for the barreled action). It’s better suited for stationary long-range shooting or stand hunting than long hikes.
