Bergara has upgraded its most popular B-14-series rifle with a Premier action to create the Premier HMR Pro, an extreme-range tackdriver containing a full-length mini-chassis embedded in a tactical-style stock that is customizable for length of pull and comb height. The result is rock-solid bedding and a free-floated 416 stainless barrel, stress-relieved, button-rifled, honed and muzzle-threaded at Bergara’s state-of-the-art barrelworks in Spain. The firm’s Premier action combines a nitride-treated, floating-head bolt with a match-grade TriggerTech trigger. Assembled by skilled gunsmiths at the company’s U.S. shop in Georgia, the HMR Pro can be had in 20", 24" or 26" barrel lengths, and in five high-performance chamberings—.223 Rem., .22-250 Rem., 6 mm Creedmoor, 6.5 mm Creedmoor and .308 Win. bergarausa.com
