When it comes to connecting at 800 yards on a prairie dog town or needing a first-round hit on a coyote across a cut soybean field, this rifle’s chassis system provides the stable, ergonomic foundation you need. The 26-inch barrel squeezes every last foot-per-second from the efficient 6mm Creedmoor case, giving you a flatter trajectory and less holdover in tricky wind conditions. The chassis itself, with its full-length ARCA rail, is ready for modern tripod or bipod mounts from brands like Really Right Stuff or RRS, turning any solid rest into a rock-steady shooting platform.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the shooter who measures success in fractions of an MOA. It’s for the PRS competitor looking for an out-of-the-box rig that can hang with custom builds. It’s for the varmint hunter who treats long-range pest control as a discipline. It’s also for the Missouri whitetail hunter who hunts powerlines and agricultural fields where a 400-yard shot is a real possibility. The system’s modularity means it can be tuned to fit virtually any shooter, which is a critical advantage when your heart rate is up and you need a perfect weld.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The factory-accurate Bergara barrel and action are legendary for consistency. The XLR chassis offers immediate ergonomic adjustability and accessory integration that traditional stocks can’t match. The 6mm Creedmoor is ballistically superior to many older cartridges, offering less recoil and better long-range performance. The Remington 700 footprint guarantees compatibility with a massive universe of triggers, stocks, and chassis systems from brands like TriggerTech and KRG.
Cons: At around 11.5 pounds unscoped, this is not a lightweight mountain rifle—it’s a stabilized precision instrument. The 26-inch barrel can be cumbersome in thick brush or a tight blind. And while the 6mm Creedmoor is incredibly effective, ammunition can be less common and more expensive than .308 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor on some store shelves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the barrel threaded for a muzzle device or suppressor?
A: Yes, the barrel features a standard thread pattern (commonly 5/8″-24), making it ready for a muzzle brake, compensator, or sound suppressor to further manage recoil and muzzle rise.
Q: Can I use other magazines besides the included 5-round AICS type?
A: Absolutely. The XLR Element chassis is designed for AICS-pattern magazines, which are available from multiple manufacturers in capacities ranging from 5 to 10 rounds, giving you flexibility for different shooting disciplines.
Q: What scope base does this rifle use?
A: The Bergara Premier action uses a Remington 700 footprint, which means it accepts standard Rem 700 scope bases and rings. Popular Picatinny rail bases from brands like Nightforce or Seekins Precision will mount directly to the receiver.
