Specifications

What Makes the Premier Competition Different

• Premier-Grade Barrel with Deep Honing: Bergara’s most accurate production barrel, featuring additional diamond honing beyond their standard process, delivering hand-lapped accuracy at production prices.
• Floating Bolt Head & Two-Lug Action: The Premier action’s separate floating bolt head ensures perfect lug contact on every shot, eliminating the runout and inconsistency that plague standard actions.
• TriggerTech Frictionless Trigger: Purpose-built for competition, this trigger delivers a clean, predictable break without creep while maintaining reliability in rain, mud, and freezing conditions—critical for all-weather match performance.
• Built by USMC Armorer Alumni: Assembled in Georgia by a team that includes former Marines from the Precision Weapons Section who built rifles for combat and competition; their standards show in every detail.
• 10-Round AICS Magazine: Full-capacity for complete PRS course runs without reloads, and R700-pattern compatible for flexibility with optics and aftermarket accessories.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara is rooted in a Basque region with centuries of gunmaking heritage. Their 5-step barrel manufacturing process—precision straightening, deep-hole drilling, 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—has earned them a global reputation for consistency and accuracy. The Premier Competition barrel receives additional honing procedures beyond the standard Bergara process, making it the most accurate production barrel in their lineup. This heritage, combined with modern precision manufacturing, is why your rifle comes backed by a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee.

6mm Creedmoor: The Competition Cartridge

6mm Creedmoor has become the dominant cartridge in PRS competition for one reason: it delivers the velocity needed for long-range hits, the ballistics for wind correction, and the case capacity for consistent powder charges—all with recoil light enough for fast, accurate follow-up shots. At 26 inches, this barrel is optimized for the Creedmoor’s performance band, maximizing velocity without the penalties of a magnum case. If you’re competing in rimfire or mid-range centerfire matches, 6mm CM is the step up that competitive shooters choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why 6mm Creedmoor instead of 6.5 Creedmoor?

6mm Creedmoor offers superior ballistic coefficient, a flatter trajectory, and most importantly, lighter recoil with faster natural recovery between shots. In match scenarios where you’re engaging targets across multiple positions, the reduced recoil lets you spot your own impacts and execute faster strings. 6.5 CM has a slight velocity edge, but 6mm CM dominates PRS competition for good reason. The choice depends on your match distances; ask us if you’re unsure.

Is this rifle ready to shoot out of the box, or do I need to add anything?

The Premier Competition arrives with the barrel threaded and ready for a suppressor or muzzle device, and the action accepts R700-pattern scope bases using 8×40 screws. You’ll need a scope, rings, and a shooting rest. Many competitors also add a muzzle brake or suppressor for recoil management and spotting impacts. The 10-round AICS magazine is included, and the rifle ships with no external accessories—competition shooters typically choose their own optics and accessories to match their specific match setup.

What’s the difference between the Premier Competition and other Bergara production rifles?

The Premier Competition is Bergara’s top-tier production rifle, designed specifically for match use. It features the most extensively honed barrel, a floating bolt head action for superior accuracy potential, and the TriggerTech trigger for competition breaks. The chassis-style stock and 26-inch barrel are optimized for PRS stages. If you’re building a first precision rifle or upgrading from a hunting rifle, the Premier Competition eliminates compromises and delivers match performance without custom gunsmith work.

Can I use this rifle for hunting as well as competition?

Absolutely. While the Premier Competition is engineered for precision rifle matches, its accuracy and reliability make it equally effective for precision hunting at extended distances. The 6mm Creedmoor is a capable cartridge for medium game with premium bullets. Many competitors hunt with their match rifles during the off-season. Just be aware that the competition chassis and heavy profile barrel make this rifle notably heavier than a typical hunting rifle—weight is an advantage on the bench, less so in the field.
