Bergara Premier Series, Barreled Action, 22″ Fluted Barrel, 416 Stainless Steel, Silver, Bbl #4 300PRC

Product Description

The Bergara BBL Action #4 300 PRC is a precision barreled action built for shooters who demand accuracy without compromise—or the custom gunsmith wait. You get a factory-headspaced Bergara Premier-grade barrel married to the legendary B-14 action, both backed by Bergara’s sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. Drop this action into any Remington 700 pattern stock or chassis, and you’re building a long-range rifle with world-class heritage and zero guesswork on headspace or barrel fit.

Specifications

What Makes the Bergara Barreled Action Different

• Factory-headspaced and pre-fitted. No gunsmith, no guessing. Bergara has already matched barrel to action, torqued to spec, and confirmed headspace—you save weeks and hundreds in labor.
• Remington 700 ecosystem access. The B-14 action uses the largest aftermarket platform in bolt-action history. Manners, McMillan, MDT, XLR, Masterpiece Arms—thousands of stocks and chassis fit without modification.
• Bergara’s 5-step barrel process at production pricing. Most custom barrels cost $500–800 and require 6–12 weeks. This 300 PRC barrel is straightened, diamond-honed to a mirror finish, button-rifled with carbide buttons, stress-relieved at high temperature, and costs a fraction of custom.
• Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee backed by Bergara. Every rifle ships with Bergara’s promise: groups under 1 inch at 100 yards with quality ammunition. That’s not aspirational—that’s their name on it.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara has been building precision barrels in the Basque region of Spain since the company was founded—the same region with centuries of gunmaking heritage. Their 5-step process sounds simple until you understand the tolerances: straightening begins with laser-precision measurement, deep-hole drilling creates the bore pathway, three-spindle diamond honing produces a mirror finish, carbide button rifling holds groove diameter deviation to less than .0002 inch, and final stress relief at high temperature locks in bore consistency. This isn’t trial-and-error; it’s the same method that earned Bergara contracts with some of the world’s top firearms manufacturers for decades. The result: production-grade pricing on custom-quality barrels that shoot like they cost three times as much.

300 PRC: A Modern Long-Range Standard

The 300 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge) has become the go-to for shooters who want 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics with the power and reach of a 300 magnum—without the recoil of a 300 Win Mag or 300 Lapua. The 22-inch barrel on this action cuts muzzle velocity compared to 24–26 inch barrels (expect around 2,860–2,900 fps with premium 225–230 grain match ammo), but it stays supersonic past 1,400 yards and is far more packable than a full magnum. If you’re building a long-range hunting rifle, an ELR (Extreme Long Range) competition gun, or a precision target platform, the 300 PRC in this 22-inch format is the sweet spot for barrel manageability and ballistic performance.

The B-14 Action: A Remington 700 on Steroids

The B-14 action uses a two-lug system with a coned bolt nose and breech that feed smoother than the original Remington 700 design. It includes a stronger bolt stop than the 700, better bolt lift, and a threaded oversized bolt knob standard. Because it maintains 100% Remington 700 pattern compatibility—same screw spacing, same rail mounts, same trigger pin holes—you unlock the largest bolt-action aftermarket ecosystem in firearms history. Whether you choose an MDT, XLR, or McMillan chassis, or a traditional Manners composite stock, this action bolts in without smithing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What stock or chassis should I buy for this barreled action?

Any Remington 700 pattern stock or chassis will fit. Popular options include MDT Oryx, XLR Envy, Manners stocks (composite or carbon), and McMillan A5 variants. Choose based on your intended use: competition rifles favor aluminum chassis for adjustability; hunting builds often use composite stocks for weight and durability. The action alone weighs 3.5–4.5 lbs, so your final rifle weight depends on your stock choice.

Why should I buy a barreled action instead of a complete rifle?

A barreled action lets you build a rifle that matches your exact specs—stock preference, trigger preference, caliber—without paying a complete-rifle price or waiting months for custom work. You skip the gunsmith fee for barrel fitting and headspacing (typically $150–300), and you avoid the 6–12 week lead time. If you already own a Remington 700 pattern stock, a barreled action is the fastest path to a second precision rifle.

Is the 300 PRC suitable for hunting, or is it only for long-range competition?

The 300 PRC excels at both. It delivers energy comparable to a 300 Win Mag with flatter trajectories and less recoil, making it ideal for long-range hunting (out to 500+ yards for elk and moose). It’s also the cartridge of choice in competitive long-range and ELR matches. With a 22-inch barrel, you lose roughly 100–150 fps compared to 24-inch barrels, but you gain maneuverability in dense timber or when moving between shooting positions.

Can I adjust the trigger myself?

Yes. The Bergara Performance Trigger adjusts from 2 to 4 pounds with an Allen key—no gunsmith required. It ships factory-set around 3 to 3.5 pounds, which is crisp and predictable for both hunting and precision shooting. Most reviewers compare it favorably to upgraded aftermarket triggers costing significantly more.

What ammunition should I use for the accuracy guarantee?

Bergara guarantees sub-MOA accuracy with quality factory ammunition—typically premium match-grade loads from manufacturers like Hornady, Federal, Remington, or Nosler. Hand-loaded ammunition may perform even better, but the factory guarantee applies to commercial ammo. For best results, use consistent powder lots, quality brass, and primers when reloading.

Do I need a gunsmith to assemble this rifle?

No. The barreled action is headspaced and ready to drop into a Remington 700 pattern stock or chassis. You’ll need a stock/chassis, bottom metal (if required), a scope mount, and a scope. Assembly of stock to action typically requires an action wrench and stock bedding compound (if using a composite stock)—many shooters do this themselves, or a gunsmith can help for a modest fee.
