BERGARA's top priority is to offer customised quality for every sporting rifle or hunting rifle. BERGARA USA has therefore developed the Premier models as an extension to the Custom Series.
The BERGARA Premier series can simply be seen as an extension of the BERGARA Custom series. In contrast to the BERGARA Custom models, the Premier models have standardised components with high efficiency in parts production and assembly. The result is highly interesting and affordable long guns at custom level for demanding hunters and sport shooters.
BERGARA Premier precision long rifles are hand built in the USA by an elite team with extensive experience in building precision rifles for the US Marine Corps. At the heart of every BERGARA Premier is the high-quality 416 stainless steel barrel, manufactured to the tightest tolerances at BERGARA's own barrel manufacturing facility in the Basque Country, Spain. Once they arrive in the USA, the barrels are then assembled into a complete gun, individually tested and subjected to a precision proof test. Some of the precision rifles will then travel back to Europe from mid-2019.

It also features a tapered screw nose for smooth feeding of the cartridge and a spring-loaded slide plate puller located at the front of the lower locking tab. The one-piece screw body is made of stainless steel with a pad on the back to accommodate the screwed-in screw handle. The screw head, non-rotating gas shield, screw handle and screw cover are fully nitrided for extreme durability and self-lubricating properties.
