The Bergara Premier Barreled Action (Bergara part no. BPBA17-308) pairs a bolt-action Premier receiver with a 20-inch, number 5.5-contour stainless steel barrel chambered in .308 Winchester, giving builders a compact, match-grade foundation for a custom hunting or tactical rifle. Bergara cuts the barrel with a 1-in-10-inch twist, the standard rate for stabilizing the wide range of .308 Winchester bullet weights. The shorter 20-inch length keeps the finished build handy for close-quarters or truck-gun use without sacrificing the accuracy .308 is known for, and the stainless steel resists corrosion through hard use. Sold as a barreled action rather than a complete rifle, it drops into the chassis or stock of the builder’s choice, skipping the barrel-fitting step of a full custom build.
