Specifications

Why the 300 PRC Matters

The 300 PRC has become the go-to caliber for long-range hunting and precision rifle competition. With a 26″ Bergara barrel, you’ll maximize velocity, extend your effective range, and maintain the inherent accuracy the cartridge is known for. Factory ammo is now widely available, making this a practical choice for hunters and competitors who want serious performance without hand-loading.

What Makes the Bergara Barreled Action Different

• Pre-fitted precision: Barrel and action arrive headspaced and ready to install—no gunsmith visit required, no waiting weeks for a custom fit.
• Remington 700 compatibility: The B-14 action uses the world’s largest aftermarket ecosystem. Choose from thousands of stocks, chassis, triggers, scope mounts, and upgrades.
• Bergara’s 5-step barrel process: Every barrel undergoes precision straightening, deep-hole drilling, three-spindle diamond honing, button rifling with carbide buttons held to ±0.0002″ tolerance, and high-temperature stress relieving—the same process used in custom gunsmith builds.
• Sub-MOA guarantee: Every Bergara rifle ships with a promise: it will print groups under 1 inch at 100 yards with quality factory ammunition.
• No compromise on trigger: The Bergara Performance Trigger is adjustable from 2 to 4 lbs and is factory-tuned to 3–3.5 lbs. Users consistently compare it favorably to premium aftermarket triggers costing significantly more.
• Stronger than stock Remington 700: The B-14’s two-lug design, coned bolt nose, oversized threaded bolt knob, and improved bolt stop all contribute to reliability and smooth cycling under field conditions.

Bergara’s Barrel Heritage

Bergara isn’t just a brand—it’s a town in Spain’s Basque region, home to centuries of gunmaking tradition. Bergara has supplied precision barrels to top-tier firearms manufacturers worldwide for decades. Their 5-step barrel manufacturing process—straightening, deep-hole drilling, three-spindle diamond honing to a mirror finish, button rifling with carbide buttons held to less than 0.0002″ groove diameter deviation, and high-temperature stress relieving—produces barrels that shoot like hand-lapped custom builds at production prices. The B-14 action is assembled in Georgia by a team that includes former USMC Precision Weapons Section veterans who built rifles for Marines in combat and competition.

Building Your 300 PRC

This barreled action is the foundation. From here, your options are limitless. Match it with a modern chassis like an MDT or XLR for a tactical rifle, or drop it into a traditional wood stock for a classic hunting rifle. Add your preferred bottom metal to feed the magazine of your choice. Install your optic and you’re ready. The result is a rifle built exactly to your specifications and shooting to Bergara’s accuracy standard—without the 12-week wait or gunsmith fees of a true custom build.

The B-14 Action: Built for Real Shooting

The Bergara B-14 action uses a Remington 700 footprint, which means compatibility with generations of proven designs and modern innovations alike. Its two-lug system and coned bolt nose ensure smooth feeding even with premium match-grade ammunition. The stronger bolt stop prevents the binding that some shooters experience with factory Remington 700s under hard use. The oversized threaded bolt knob is standard—no more stripped factory knobs mid-hunt.

Trigger You Won’t Want to Upgrade

The Bergara Performance Trigger is a standout feature. Factory-set around 3 to 3.5 lbs, it breaks crisp and clean. If you need it lighter or heavier, an Allen key is all you need—no gunsmith, no removal. Reviewers consistently note that it matches or exceeds the feel of popular aftermarket triggers that cost two to three times as much.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why buy a barreled action instead of a complete rifle or a custom barrel service?

A barreled action gives you precision at speed. Unlike a complete rifle, you choose your stock, chassis, and magazine system to suit your specific needs. Unlike a custom barrel fitting, there’s no 8–12 week wait and no $300–500 gunsmith fee. You get a guaranteed-accurate foundation ready to build on immediately.

Is 300 PRC really the right caliber for me?

The 300 PRC is built for long-range work. If you hunt elk or shoot precision competitions at distance, it’s a superb choice. The 26″ Bergara barrel optimizes velocity and effective range. If your hunting is under 400 yards or you prefer a lighter-recoiling rifle, consider 308 Win or 6.5 Creedmoor. Call us to discuss what’s right for your shooting.

Will this action work with my favorite stock?

Almost certainly yes. The B-14 uses Remington 700 footprint, which is the industry standard. Manners, McMillan, MDT, XLR, KRG, and virtually every modern chassis and stock on the market will work. If you already own a compatible stock, you’re ready to go. If not, we can recommend options based on your intended use.

Can I adjust the trigger myself?

Yes. The Bergara Performance Trigger is adjustable from 2 to 4 lbs using only an Allen key. Factory setting is around 3 to 3.5 lbs. No gunsmith required, no removal necessary.

What’s included in the box?

The barreled action only. You’ll need to source a Remington 700 pattern stock or chassis, bottom metal (if not included with your chosen stock), magazines, and optics. We’re happy to recommend complete platform solutions.

Is accuracy really guaranteed?

Yes. Every Bergara rifle ships with a sub-MOA guarantee. With quality factory ammunition, your rifle will print groups under 1 inch at 100 yards. If it doesn’t, Bergara will service it under warranty.
