The PCR is chambered in 6mm Creedmoor or 6.5 Creedmoor respectively with a 26” inch barrel, ARCA Swiss Rail, and a Trigger Tech Flat Face Trigger.

Below, is the press release from Bergara on their new Premier Competition Rifle.

Press Release

The Premier Series is as close to custom as it gets, but with standardized features for greater efficiencies in parts production and assembly. With Bergara’s reputation for accuracy, we expected customers to immediately build guns for the competition circuit, and over the years they have performed well. You don’t have to build your own custom Bergara precision rifle anymore. The Bergara Premier Competition Rifle is the most accurate and highest-performing production class PRS style Bergara rifle that exists. Paired with your optic of choice, the Bergara Competition Rifle is competition-ready right out of the box.

The Arca Swiss rail allows for easy and fast adjustments. This 3-in-1 rail has a screw hole for your common camera tripod adapter. The Arca Swiss rail allows you to easily slide your gun back and forth, and if you have a Picatinny bipod, mounting and adjusting are seamless.

The MPA BA Competition Chassis is specifically designed to give shooters a competitive advantage when shooting in long-range tactical rifle competitions, such as the PRS. It’s also a great option for a variety of other applications in which accuracy, versatility, adjustable fit, and durability are desired.

Our partnership with TriggerTech was to create a world-class experience for every user of any Bergara Rifle, whether in the field or on the competition bench. Our partnership makes use of TriggerTech’s patented Frictionless Release Technology to increase performance and accuracy for the end-user by eliminating creep and heavy pull weights. Even in the most rugged conditions, it maintains its premium performance, delivering greater precision and safety with every shot.

The heavier diameter stainless steel competition barrel is stiffer, more stable, and doesn’t walk as fast after it gets heated up and takes longer to heat up.

Bergara’s Comp Rifle is available in the most popular production calibers, 6.5 Creedmoor (Shipping Now) and 6 Creedmoor (Shipping Late Summer).
