Description
The Bergara Rifles Premier Approach, 6.5 Creedmoor, 24″, Fiberglass Camo, 5rd is a precision-engineered bolt-action rifle built for the long-range hunter and shooter who demands sub-MOA accuracy straight from the factory. It combines a custom-grade Bergara Premier action, a hand-laid fiberglass composite stock in a functional camouflage pattern, and a heavy-contour 24-inch barrel chambered in the renowned 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge. This rifle is designed for those who need to make a single, decisive shot count at extended distances, whether you’re on a Western elk hunt or engaging steel targets at 1,000 yards.
Key Features
- Bergara Premier Series Action: A true Remington 700 footprint action with enhanced features like a cone-shaped bolt nose for smoother feeding and a mechanical ejector for reliable case extraction.
- Hand-Laid Fiberglass Stock: The camo-patterned stock is lightweight, incredibly rigid, and impervious to weather—no warping with humidity or temperature swings. It features an adjustable comb and length of pull for a perfect, repeatable cheek weld.
- Heavy Contour 24″ Barrel: The 4140 chrome-moly steel barrel is button-rifled and hand-bedded to the action, providing the stability and harmonics needed for consistent, match-grade accuracy with the 6.5 Creedmoor’s efficient ballistics.
- Timney Elite Hunter Trigger: Comes from the factory with a user-adjustable trigger, typically set between 2.5-4 lbs, allowing for a crisp, clean break that eliminates shooter error.

Who This Rifle Is For
This is the rifle for the hunter who stalks open country where shots can stretch to 500 yards or more—think Missouri whitetail in picked bean fields or Western mule deer. It’s for the precision shooter who values a system that’s drop-in ready for a vast array of aftermarket triggers, chassis, and scope mounts designed for the Remington 700 platform. You’re buying a complete, accurate system, not a project. At $1691.99, it bridges the gap between custom and high-end production, offering custom-level performance without the wait or the custom price tag. The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering is a deliberate choice, offering manageable recoil, excellent downrange energy, and superior wind-bucking ability compared to traditional hunting rounds.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The out-of-the-box accuracy is the headline; you can expect sub-MOA groups with quality factory ammo. The fiberglass stock is a major upgrade over cheaper plastics, providing real stability. The Remington 700 footprint means unparalleled compatibility—it works with nearly any accessory or stock made for a standard R700 long action. The adjustable comb is a critical feature for achieving a proper sight picture with large objective scopes.
Cons: The 8.5-pound weight, before optics, makes it a dedicated hunting or precision rifle, not a lightweight mountain gun. The 24-inch barrel, while ideal for velocity, can be slightly cumbersome in dense brush. Here’s the thing—you’re trading some portability for unwavering stability behind the shot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the barrel threaded for a muzzle brake or suppressor?
A: The standard Premier Approach typically comes with a non-threaded, crowned barrel. If you require a threaded muzzle, Bergara offers the “Premier Mountain” variant, or you would need to have a qualified gunsmith thread the barrel. Always check local and federal regulations regarding suppressors.
Q: What type of scope base does it use?
A: The action uses the standard Remington 700 long action footprint. This means it is directly compatible with popular Picatinny or Weaver-style bases from brands like Nightforce, Seekins Precision, and EGW. No special machining or fitting is required.
Q: Can the stock’s adjustments be locked in place?
A: Yes. Both the adjustable comb and the length-of-pull spacers use secure locking mechanisms to prevent any shift during transport or firing, ensuring your zero and cheek weld remain consistent shot after shot.
