The Bergara MgLite rifle in .308 Winchester with a 22-inch barrel and XLR Element magnesium chassis (brand part no. BGRA BPR37-308) is a lightweight, packable precision hunting rifle from Bergara’s Premier Series. Bergara pairs the proprietary CURE Carbon barrel with the Bergara Premier action, featuring a non-rotating gas shield, coned bolt nose, and sliding plate extractor, all fully nitrided for durability. A TriggerTech Frictionless Release trigger works with a two-position safety that allows the rifle to be unloaded while still on safe, and the carbon fiber buttstock folds up for easy packing. An Omni muzzle brake is threaded onto the 5/8-24 muzzle, and the rifle weighs just 6.7 to 6.8 pounds. Among ultralight chassis rifles in bolt action rifles, this MgLite configuration favors hunters who want a lightweight, packable .308 Winchester platform.
