For shooters who demand near-custom performance without the custom price, the BERGARA HIGHLANDER delivers a balance of precision, durability, and practical design. This bolt-action platform is built around high-quality materials and manufacturing processes that matter in the field and on the range.

BERGARA HIGHLANDER — a Premier-series rifle that brings Bergara’s proven barrel-making and action engineering into a standardized package for consistency and value.

Key features and what they mean on target

The Highlander uses Bergara’s Premium stainless steel barrel that receives a proprietary honing process at their Spanish facility, then finished in Cerakote Midnight Bronze at Bergara USA. The #5 taper barrel profile provides a balance of stiffness and weight for stable accuracy while remaining manageable in the field.

Bergara PREMIER action details

The Bergara PREMIER action is a standout: a 2-lug design with a separate floating bolt head to ensure consistent lug contact, a cone-shaped bolt nose for smooth feeding, and a spring-loaded sliding plate extractor placed at the front of the lower locking lug for reliable extraction. The non-rotating gas shield and a one-piece stainless bolt body with a threaded-in bolt handle pad increase durability and serviceability.

Durability and trigger system

The bolt shroud and bolt stop are fully Nitrided for extreme durability and self-lubricating properties, while the bolt handle is Cerakote-finished for corrosion resistance. The Highlander ships with a TriggerTech trigger featuring Frictionless Release Technology and a 2-position safety integrated into the trigger assembly — allowing the rifle to be unloaded while in the safe position.
