Description
You’re staring down a long, unforgiving valley, the wind is a guess at best, and the target is a small, unforgiving silhouette. You need a rifle that’s more than a collection of parts—it’s a system built for precision from the ground up, without the custom shop price tag. That’s the exact scenario the Bergara LRP .300 Win Mag, 26″ Barrel, XLR Element Stock, Black, 5rd is engineered for. It’s a factory-built, long-range precision rifle that blends a proven Bergara action with a fully-adjustable aftermarket chassis, offering serious shooters a turnkey solution for reaching out to extreme distances.
The Bergara LRP .300 Win Mag is a complete precision rifle system centered on Bergara’s renowned Premier Series action. This action features a Remington 700 footprint, which is a huge deal for the budget-conscious. Why? It means the rifle is compatible with a massive universe of aftermarket triggers, stocks, and chassis systems from brands like Timney and TriggerTech, giving you upgrade paths without a gunsmith. The heart of the system is mated to a heavy-contour, 26-inch barrel that provides the .300 Winchester Magnum cartridge the velocity it needs to stay supersonic and stable at long range. The entire package comes in at a ready-to-shoot weight of approximately 11.5 pounds, which helps manage the substantial recoil of the magnum cartridge.
Here’s the thing—the standout feature that defines this rifle’s value is the included XLR Element chassis. Normally, buying a Bergara barreled action and adding a chassis like this separately would push you well over the $1891.46 price point. The Element stock isn’t a basic injection-molded piece; it’s a fully modular, CNC-machined aluminum chassis with an integrated Arca-Swiss rail for direct tripod mounting, an adjustable cheek riser and buttpad, and a fully free-floated handguard with M-LOK slots. This setup is drop-in ready for accessories and fits out of the box, requiring no gunsmithing to achieve a perfect, repeatable fit for the shooter.
Let’s talk tradeoffs. The .300 Win Mag is a legendary long-range hunting and target cartridge, but it comes with cost and recoil. Ammunition is more expensive than .308 Winchester, and barrel life will be shorter than a standard 6.5 Creedmoor. That said, for the shooter who needs the extended energy and flatter trajectory for elk at distance or steel beyond 1000 yards, it’s a practical compromise. The rifle’s 5-round AICS pattern magazine is a robust, reliable standard, and spare mags are widely available. This rifle ships to Missouri and compliant US states, ready for your FFL transfer.

Pros: Exceptional out-of-the-box value combining premium components. The XLR chassis alone is a major upgrade over standard stocks. The Remington 700 footprint guarantees vast aftermarket support. The 26-inch barrel optimizes .300 Win Mag performance. The integrated Arca rail is a pro-level feature for competition or hunting setups.
Cons: .300 Win Mag ammo cost and recoil are not for beginners. The rifle is heavy—great for stability on the bench or bipod, less ideal for long mountain hikes. The chassis, while feature-rich, may not appeal to traditionalists who prefer a classic rifle stock.
So who is this rifle for? It’s for the disciplined hunter who takes ethical shots at extended ranges in open country, or the precision rifle competitor on a budget who needs a rig that can hang with custom guns. It’s also an ideal platform for someone wanting to enter the world of long-range shooting with a rifle that won’t need immediate upgrades—you can grow into it, not out of it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the barrel threaded for a muzzle brake or suppressor?
A: Yes, the 26-inch barrel comes with a threaded muzzle (common thread pitch is 5/8×24), making it ready for a muzzle brake to help manage recoil or a compatible suppressor.
Q: Can I use other magazines besides the included one?
A: Absolutely. The rifle uses the widely adopted AICS pattern magazine. You can find reliable 5-round and higher-capacity magazines from brands like Magpul and Accurate Mag for added flexibility.
Q: How does this compare to building a similar custom rifle?
A: The value is in the complete package. Sourcing a Bergara Premier action, a quality pre-fit barrel, and an XLR Element chassis separately would significantly exceed this rifle’s cost, not including assembly. This gets you a factory-tested, warranty-backed system at a notable savings.
If you’re looking for a serious, no-excuses long-range rifle that delivers premium features without a custom price, the Bergara LRP .300 Win Mag with the XLR chassis is a compelling option. See the full details and availability at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
