Lightweight Carbon Fiber Stock and Handling

The Mountain variant in the Premier family features a 100% carbon fiber stock that reduces overall weight to approximately 6.2 lbs. That weight savings translates to less fatigue on long approaches and faster shouldering for follow-up shots. The stock’s rigidity also supports consistent bedding and barrel harmonics, helping the barrel-to-stock interface deliver repeatable groups in the field.

Barrel, Finish, and Assembly

Bergara’s use of Premium 416 stainless steel barrels is a defining feature — these barrels receive additional honing and quality procedures that lift them above standard production offerings. After machining and finishing, each barrel receives Cerakote for enhanced corrosion resistance and lowered maintenance burden in wet or coastal environments. Final assembly in Lawrenceville, GA ensures production consistency and traceable quality control.

Trigger and Field Performance

The TriggerTech trigger with Frictionless Release Technology is a standout for shooters who want a crisp, predictable break without creep. Paired with the lightweight chassis, the trigger allows precise shot release under challenging conditions and on long-range shots from improvised rests. At the listed price of $2033.99, this rifle balances premium components with production efficiencies to deliver strong value for serious hunters.

Practical users report the Bergara Rifles Premier performs well on mountain hunts and technical glassing setups, delivering a low-weight package that doesn’t compromise on barrel quality or trigger feel. For full specifications and to confirm current stock, View product details and pricing.
