The Bergara Premier MgLite rifle in 6.5 PRC with a 22-inch barrel (brand part no. BPR37-65PRC) pairs an ultra-lightweight XLR Element magnesium chassis with Bergara’s proprietary CURE carbon barrel, delivering a packable precision hunting rifle without the usual weight penalty. Bergara builds the action with a nonrotating gas shield coned bolt nose and spring-loaded sliding plate extractor, and the two-lug system uses a separate floating bolt head to ensure consistent contact with the lug abutments. A TriggerTech Frictionless Release Technology trigger pairs with a two-position safety that lets the bolt handle stay unlocked in the closed position, so the rifle can be safely unloaded while on safe. The carbon fiber buttstock folds for easy packing, and the barrel is threaded 5/8-24 with an Omni Muzzle Brake. Among lightweight precision hunting rifles in the bolt action rifles category, this MgLite configuration favors backcountry hunters who count every ounce.
