Bergara Premier Cima Pro 6.5 PRC 20 Inch Rifle

Description

The Premier Cima Pro is Bergara’s answer to a specific problem: building a mountain hunting rifle that doesn’t make you choose between weight savings and mechanical consistency. It suits the shooter who covers serious ground on foot and still expects the rifle to perform at distance when the moment arrives.

The stock and barrel are both built with carbon fiber through an autoclave curing process, which drives a higher fiber-to-resin ratio than standard layup methods. That matters because higher fiber density translates to a stiffer, more dimensionally stable structure — one that doesn’t shift its point of impact as temperature and humidity change through a day in the field. The stock weighs in at around 5.5 pounds for this configuration, a figure that accumulates meaning over a multi-day pack-out.

Bergara’s CURE carbon barrel wraps a stainless steel core with a carbon weave that incorporates embedded stainless strands. The design is engineered to manage heat migration, which is the core failure mode of conventional carbon-wrapped barrels — uneven heating causes inconsistent pressure on the steel liner and shifts point of impact during sustained shooting. The threaded muzzle accommodates a brake or a suppressor.

The Premier action is machined from 416 stainless steel and accepts a Remington 700-pattern scope base with 8×40 screws, which keeps optics compatibility broad. The TriggerTech trigger offers a clean break with user-adjustable pull weight, giving the shooter direct control over the feel of the rifle rather than working around a fixed factory setting. The two-position safety allows the bolt to be cycled while the action is on safe, a practical consideration when moving on game.
