About This Firearm
The Bergara Premier HMR Pro is a chassis-stocked bolt-action 6.5mm Creedmoor built for precision shooting off a bag or a bipod. It has an MSRP of $1,799. It carries a 24-inch stainless barrel at 9.50 lbs, with a TriggerTech trigger fitted from the factory.
A 5-round AICS magazine is in the box. Optics mount on a Remington 700 pattern base, but Premier actions take 8x40 base screws where standard 700 bases ship with 6-48, so the rail has to be ordered to match and none comes with the rifle. Measure the muzzle before buying a brake or a suppressor mount.
If you're cross-shopping, the Bergara B-14 HMR has an MSRP of $1,169, takes any standard Remington 700 rail and runs a 22-inch chrome-moly barrel. A used Savage 110 Tactical is 0.63 lbs lighter and arrives with a 20 MOA rail fitted and a 10-round magazine, neither of which the HMR Pro includes. Budget a base and a second magazine on top of this rifle's price.

Strengths & Limitations
- The bolt head, the non-rotating gas shield and the bolt shroud are all nitrided, which covers the parts that get handled and fouled most.
- Bergara hones its Premier barrels and runs extra quality checks on them after rifling, and the barrels are stainless where the B-14 line uses high carbon steel.
- The receiver is stainless steel too, so the Cerakote is not doing the corrosion work on its own.
- A spare magazine is a separate order, which is worth making before a day of load testing.
- At 44 inches overall it needs a full-length case and hangs off the end of a short bench.
- The cheaper B-14 HMR carries Bergara's written sub-MOA guarantee and this rifle does not.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Bergara guarantee accuracy on this rifle?
No. The written sub-MOA guarantee covers the B-14 line and not the Premier HMR Pro.
What magazine does it take?
An AICS-style detachable box. Bergara ships the 6.5 PRC version of this rifle with a 3-round magazine instead, so the well is cut to the standard pattern and aftermarket AICS boxes drop in.
What does the floating bolt head do?
It lets the locking lugs find their own seat as the bolt closes. The head carries a cone-shaped nose that guides the cartridge in, and a spring-loaded sliding plate extractor pulls the case back out.
Where is it made?
In the United States. Bergara assembles the Premier rifles in its own production cells in Lawrenceville, Georgia, where the B-14 rifles are built in Spain.
