The Bergara Premier HMR Pro in 6.5 Creedmoor is a precision rifle that seamlessly blends the craftsmanship of European barrel-making with modern American engineering. Designed for both hunting and match shooting, it offers a balance of performance and value, making it an excellent choice for enthusiasts seeking quality without exceeding their budget.
The success of the B-14 HMR, a more popularly priced rifle, prompted Bergara to offer this premium featured rifle, named the HMR (Hunting and Match Rifle) PRO rifle. The rifle is built on an adjustable precision stock with integrated mini chassis for repeatable bedding and accuracy. The tapered 416 stainless steel barrel is the core of the rifle, and is threaded for muzzle devices. The Bergara Premier action is based upon a Remington 700 footprint and top metal screw pattern, and compatible with AICS magazines.
Bergara's heritage in barrel manufacturing traces back to the renowned steel craftsmanship of Toledo, Spain. This legacy is evident in the HMR Pro's barrel, which undergoes meticulous processes such as deep hole drilling, button rifling with a maximum groove deviation of .0002", and stress relieving. These steps ensure a high-quality barrel that rivals many custom gunsmith offerings. Starting with the barrel, Bergara builds each rifle to deliver exceptional accuracy and performance.
The HMR Pro's stock features an integrated mini-chassis, providing solid bedding for the action and ensuring repeatability when removing and reinstalling the stock. This design supports a fully free-floated barrel, enhancing accuracy. The adjustable cheek piece and length of pull allow shooters to customize the fit for optimal comfort and control. Additionally, the stock includes integrated QD flush cup sling mounts and swivel mounts for convenient accessory attachment.
The Bergara Premier action is designed as a two-lug system with a separate floating bolt head to ensure contact with the lug abutments in the action. It also features a cone-shaped bolt nose for smooth feeding of the cartridge and a spring-loaded sliding plate extractor. The one-piece bolt body is stainless steel with a pad at the rear to accept the threaded-in bolt handle. The bolt head, non-rotating gas shield, bolt handle, and bolt shroud are fully nitrided for extreme durability and self-lubricating properties. The action is compatible with Remington 700 bases, utilizing sturdier 8-40 screws for enhanced stability, and also shares a R-700 footprint, allowing for possible future configurations in leading stocks and chassis made for the Remington 700 SA.
Equipped with a TriggerTech trigger featuring Frictionless Release Technology, the HMR Pro offers a crisp, user-adjustable trigger pull out of the box. This contributes to consistent shot placement and overall shooting confidence.
The rifle's 24-inch barrel is threaded (5/8x24) to accommodate suppressors or other muzzle devices, providing versatility for various shooting applications. The use of AICS style detachable magazines ensures compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket options, allowing shooters to tailor their setup to specific needs.
The Bergara Premier HMR Pro 6.5 Creedmoor combines traditional barrel-making excellence with modern features to deliver a precision rifle suitable for both hunting and match shooting. Its thoughtful design and quality components offer shooters a reliable and customizable platform that stands out in its class.
