The Bergara Premier Barreled Action (Bergara part no. BPBA17-65PRC) pairs a bolt-action Premier receiver with a 26-inch, number 5.5-contour stainless steel barrel chambered in 6.5 PRC, giving long-range shooters a match-grade foundation for a dedicated precision build. Bergara cuts the barrel with a 1-in-8-inch twist to stabilize the long, heavy bullets 6.5 PRC shooters run at extended range, and the extra barrel length helps the cartridge reach its full velocity potential. Stainless steel construction stands up to repeated cleaning and range use without rusting. 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.
