Bergara Premier Series, Barreled Action, 6.5 PRC, 22″ Carbon Fiber Barrel, 416 Stainless Steel, Silver

Product Description

The Bergara BBL Action #6 in 6.5 PRC is a barreled action system engineered for precision hunters and long-range shooters who demand sub-MOA accuracy without the months-long wait or five-figure cost of a full custom build. This pre-fitted 22-inch CURE Carbon barrel paired with Bergara’s B-14 Premier action gives you a Remington 700 pattern platform ready to drop into virtually any modern chassis or stock on the market—your accuracy foundation is already guaranteed by Bergara’s name.

Specifications

What Makes This Barreled Action System Different

• CURE Carbon barrel technology — Bergara’s advanced carbon fiber wrapper reduces weight to 3.5–4.5 lbs for the complete action and barrel, ideal for backcountry hunters and shooters who carry rifles long distances without sacrificing stiffness or accuracy.
• Pre-fitted and headspaced from the factory — No gunsmith required. The barrel arrives perfectly mated to the B-14 Premier action, eliminating the largest cost and time variable in custom gunsmithing. You save hundreds and weeks of wait time.
• Remington 700 pattern compatibility — The B-14 action uses the largest aftermarket ecosystem in bolt-action rifle history. Your choice of stocks, chassis systems, triggers, and scope mounts is virtually unlimited. Manners, McMillan, MDT, XLR, and thousands of other manufacturers build for this platform.
• 6.5 PRC for extended-range precision — This cartridge bridges the gap between standard hunting rounds and magnum velocity, delivering 3,200+ fps with premium factory loads while maintaining mild recoil and excellent long-range ballistics for shots beyond 400 yards with confidence.
• Two-lug B-14 action design — Stronger bolt stop than the original Remington 700, coned bolt nose for smooth feeding, and an oversized threaded bolt knob standard. The engineering is modern; the footprint is proven.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara barrels begin as billets of premium steel in the Basque region of northern Spain, a region steeped in centuries of gunmaking tradition. Each barrel undergoes a five-step precision process: straightening to eliminate stress, deep-hole drilling to exacting tolerances, three-spindle diamond honing to a mirror finish, button rifling with carbide buttons held to less than .0002″ groove diameter deviation, and high-temperature stress relieving to lock in dimensional stability. This process—historically reserved for custom rifles costing $3,000 to $5,000—produces the consistency and accuracy of a hand-lapped custom at production prices. The Premier Series is assembled in Lawrenceville, Georgia, by a team that includes former USMC Precision Weapons Section gunsmiths who built rifles for Marines in combat and international competition. That pedigree shows in every group.

6.5 PRC: The Cartridge Choice

The 6.5 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge) was engineered from the ground up for precision shooters who demand efficiency and velocity without magnum recoil. Factory loads deliver 3,200+ fps with premium 143-grain and 147-grain bullets, giving you the ballistic coefficient and sectional density needed for clean hits beyond 500 yards. Compared to 6.5 Creedmoor, the PRC runs faster and flatter; compared to .300 Win Mag, it recoils less and shoots tighter groups in the same rifle system. If you hunt elk and deer at extended range, or compete in precision rifle matches, the 6.5 PRC is purpose-built for your discipline.

B-14 Premier Action: The Foundation

The B-14 action is Bergara’s flagship platform, machined from a single billet of premium steel and finished with tight tolerances that rival rifles costing three times the price. The two-lug design provides plenty of primary surface for reliable feeding while the oversized threaded bolt knob—standard, no upcharge—gives you leverage and control in gloved conditions. The coned bolt nose feeds long, heavy match bullets smoothly, and the action’s stronger bolt stop reduces impact stress compared to the 1909 Remington 700 design it’s compatible with. Most importantly, every B-14 Premier ships with Bergara’s sub-MOA accuracy guarantee backed by factory testing data on every serial number.

The Bergara Performance Trigger

The trigger supplied with this barreled action is Bergara’s in-house Performance Trigger, adjustable from 2 to 4 pounds via a simple Allen wrench—no gunsmith, no special tools. Most ship factory-set between 3 and 3.5 pounds, giving you a crisp, predictable break that rivals aftermarket upgrades costing $200 or more. Shooters consistently report zero creep and a clean wall before release. If you want a lighter or heavier pull for your use case, you can dial it in yourself in minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What stock or chassis should I choose for the 6.5 PRC barreled action?

Any Remington 700 pattern stock or chassis will work—the B-14 footprint is universal. For hunting, a Manners or McMillan wood or composite stock is traditional and forgiving in the field. For long-range or competition shooting, an MDT, XLR, or AI Accuracy International pattern chassis gives you modularity, adjustability, and precision. Your choice depends on your intended use: hunt or match. We can advise on compatibility when you call.

Why choose 6.5 PRC over 6.5 Creedmoor in a 22-inch barrel?

The 6.5 PRC was designed to maximize velocity and ballistic performance in barrels shorter than 24 inches—it’s the cartridge choice for lightweight, packable precision rifles. At 22 inches, the PRC still delivers 3,150–3,200 fps with quality factory loads, compared to 2,900–2,950 fps from a Creedmoor. That extra velocity translates to flatter trajectories, less wind drift, and more margin for error on long shots. If you’re hunting elk or shooting past 500 yards, the PRC earns its place on a 22-inch platform.

Is this barreled action suitable for a new builder?

Absolutely. This is one of the safest entry points into precision rifle building. The barrel and action arrive pre-fitted and headspaced—no fitting tools, no guesswork. You select a stock or chassis (both readily available online and in shops), drop the barreled action in, and you have a factory-accurate rifle with Bergara’s sub-MOA guarantee. Most builds take a few hours with basic hand tools. If you’ve never built a rifle before, this is the path that eliminates the biggest risk—and cost—of custom gunsmithing.

What’s the weight of the CURE Carbon barrel, and why does it matter?

The CURE Carbon barrel keeps the action and barrel weight to 3.5–4.5 lbs, making this one of the lightest precision platforms available. For hunters who pack their rifles into elk country or steep terrain, that weight savings compounds when multiplied by a thousand vertical feet and a long day. For shooters, lighter rifles also reduce fatigue in practice and competition. CURE Carbon—a proprietary Bergara design—wraps premium steel in advanced composite without sacrificing the stiffness or thermal stability of a full-weight barrel.

Will this barreled action work with my existing Remington 700 stock?

Yes. The B-14 Premier uses the same footprint and bedding interface as a Remington 700. If you own a Model 700 stock or chassis, the BBL Action #6 will fit. However, because the B-14 action is slightly more refined in its tolerances, we recommend checking with the stock manufacturer to confirm the action fits cleanly—most modern chassis are built with the B-14 in mind, but older Model 700 stocks may require minor bedding adjustment.

How does the accuracy guarantee work?

Bergara backs every barreled action with a guarantee that your rifle will print sub-MOA groups (under 1 inch at 100 yards) with quality factory ammunition. Before this rifle ships, Bergara tests it on their range and includes documented data with your serial number. If your rifle fails to meet that standard when tested with suitable ammunition (typically 143-grain or 147-grain match-grade rounds), Bergara stands behind the rifle. This isn’t a sales claim—it’s a verified, documented promise backed by a Spanish gunmaking company with centuries of reputation at stake.
