A quiet trend has begun in firearm industry and, judging by the response, the approach could quickly spread. While more and more gun companies are holding highly successful free events that provide fans a chance to take their latest models for a short “test drive” at a range, a pair of precision-rifle companies have launched something very different.

Watch this Gun Of The Week video preview to learn about the Bergara Premier Competition, a near-custom rifle with top-tier components and craftsmanship, as well as the capability to precisely deliver match rounds on target.

Bergara’s emergence as major player in the industry began modestly in 1999 when BPI was established and purchased famed muzzleloader manufacturer CVA. The company thrived and learned that the barrel was the most important ingredient in any quality gun.

As the sport of competitive rimfire continues to grab hold, more manufacturers are offering .22 rifles capable of superb precision. Many times, these guns mimic centerfire platforms to provide the shooter with an affordable means of training, as was the case for Bergara’s .22 Long Rifle-chambered B-14R and its centerfire B-14 HMR counterpart.

New for 2022, Bergara introduces its new Premier Series MgLite rifle, combining carbon fiber and magnesium construction for an ultra-lightweight, long-range bolt action.

Since 2015, the Bergara B-14 line of bolt-action rifles has gained popularity for both its quality craftsmanship and reasonable price tag.

Bergara and CVA, both owned by BPI Outdoors, hosted several "Long Shot Tour" events to show off new bolt-action and muzzleloading rifles for 2021. 

Bergara's new Premier Competition Rifle is designed to help long-range shooters excel in Production Class matches.

The Bergara B-14R continues a long tradition of training with full-size rimfire rifles, and this latest variant is perfect for competition, too.
