BERGARA BARRELED ACTION 25CR #5.5 SS

Description

The BPBA17-25 is Bergara’s Premier Series barreled action built around the No. 5.5 contour — the same heavy profile found on the HMR Pro rifle — making it the right starting point for a custom precision build oriented toward long-range hunting or extended range sessions where barrel heat and shot-to-shot consistency matter. Because you are buying the action and barrel as a matched, pre-fitted assembly, the most demanding part of a precision build is already done: the barrel is threaded into a Premier Series action that uses Remington 700 scope mount spacing and 8-40 threading, so the optic mounting options are broad and the stock inlet choices are wide open.

The 25 Creedmoor was engineered to push heavier, high-BC bullets at velocities that outpace the 6.5 Creedmoor at extended distances, and the 1:7.5 twist rate reflects that intent — it is fast enough to stabilize the long, heavy projectiles that make the cartridge useful past 1,000 yards, while still handling mid-weight loads without issue. Choosing the right bullet weight for your intended use is straightforward with this twist: heavier, higher-BC options are fully supported, which is the main reason to choose 25 Creedmoor over shorter-action alternatives in the first place.

The 24-inch barrel gives the cartridge adequate dwell time to reach near-peak velocity without pushing overall rifle length into unwieldy territory for field carry. The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24 with a thread protector included, so adding a suppressor or muzzle brake does not require additional machining. The raw stainless steel finish keeps the assembly ready for stock inlet or chassis fitting without a pre-applied coating that would need to be matched or stripped.
