Design and materials engineered for the climb

The rifle employs a Monocoque or “Structural Skin” carbon fiber stock manufacturing approach borrowed from automotive and aerospace methods. That structural skin, reinforced with a carbon spine, delivers exceptional rigidity while keeping weight to a minimum—critical when you’re carrying gear over rough terrain. The Sniper Gray Cerakote finish resists the elements and keeps glare to a minimum in daylight conditions.

Barrel, brake, and accuracy features

At its core is Bergara’s signature precision barrel mated to an Omni Muzzle Brake. The precision barrel is engineered to deliver sub-MOA groups right out of the box, while the muzzle brake manages muzzle rise and helps you get back on target faster—especially useful for long-range follow-ups. The 20-inch barrel on this .22-250 Remington model strikes a balance between velocity and compact handling for mountain use.

Why .22-250 Remington works for backcountry roles

.22-250 Remington is a high-velocity cartridge with a flat trajectory and excellent downrange energy for varmint and predator work, and for hunters focused on fast, lightweight packs where shot placement on small- to medium-sized game is the priority. Its low recoil pairs well with the rifle’s light carbon construction for quick, stable shooting in the field.

Practical features for field use

The package includes one 5-round AICS magazine for reliable feeding and a balance of capacity and compactness. At a price of $1665.99, the rifle positions itself as a premium, purpose-built tool for serious mountain shooters who prioritize weight savings and factory-level precision.
