The Bergara Premier Barreled Action (Bergara part no. BPBA26-65PRC) pairs a bolt-action Premier receiver with a 20-inch, number 4-contour stainless steel barrel chambered in 6.5 PRC, giving builders a shorter, handier match-grade foundation for a custom precision rifle. Bergara cuts the barrel with a 1-in-8-inch twist to stabilize the long, heavy bullets 6.5 PRC is built around, and the shorter 20-inch length trims weight and length for a more maneuverable finished rifle. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion through repeated range and field 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this include a stock or chassis? No, this is a barreled action only, meant to be paired with a separate stock or chassis.

Why choose the 20-inch barrel over a longer one? The shorter length trims weight and overall length for a handier rifle, with a modest velocity trade-off compared to a 26-inch barrel.
