BERGARA CIMA PRO 308WIN 20″ 5RD

The BERGARA CIMA PRO 308WIN 20″ 5RD is a precision hunting rifle that integrates carbon fiber technology into the barrel and stock via autoclave curing. Chambered in .308 Winchester with a 20-inch barrel and 5-round magazine, it delivers sub-MOA accuracy from a sub-6-pound package. Built for the shooter who demands lightweight carry without sacrificing repeatable mechanical precision.

Key Features

• Autoclave-Cured Carbon Barrel — Reduces weight by 40% over steel while maintaining rigidity; heat dissipation is faster, keeping groups tight during extended strings.
• Carbon Fiber Stock with Integral Bedding — Eliminates the need for aftermarket bedding; the action sits in a rigid carbon chassis that repeats zero even after field disassembly.
• TriggerTech Adjustable Trigger — Factory-set at 2 lbs with zero-creep break; the Frictionless Release Technology eliminates grit for consistent let-off.
• Fluted Bolt with 60-Degree Throw — Faster cycling without binding, even with gloved hands; the fluting reduces friction and clears debris.
• Detachable Box Magazine (5-Round) — Steel-reinforced polymer; feeds .308 Winchester reliably from the first round to the last, with no rim lock.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the law enforcement sniper who needs a compact precision platform for vehicle or helicopter insertions. It is for the military scout who requires a lightweight system that holds zero through rough transport. It is for the serious hunter who hikes miles into backcountry and expects a cold-bore shot to land exactly where the crosshairs rest.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee with match-grade ammunition; tested at Bergara’s factory with a 5-shot group under 0.75 MOA.
• Pro: Carbon barrel stays cooler longer — you can fire 10 rounds without significant point-of-impact shift.
• Pro: Stock includes M-Lok slots for bipod or sling attachment without drilling.
• Con: The carbon barrel is not user-replaceable without factory service; if damaged, you must send the rifle back to Bergara.

FAQ

What is the barrel twist rate on the Bergara CIMA PRO .308?

According to Bergara specs, the 20-inch carbon barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, optimized for bullets from 168 to 175 grains — the standard for precision .308 loads.

Does the CIMA PRO come with a scope base?

Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for #8-40 screws and includes a 20 MOA rail, allowing you to mount a long-range optic without additional hardware.

Can I use this rifle for competition shooting?

Yes. The CIMA PRO is legal in PRS Hunter and NRL Hunter divisions that allow carbon barrels. The 5.8-pound weight and 20-inch barrel make it competitive in lightweight classes.

What is the magazine compatibility?

The rifle uses Bergara’s proprietary AICS-pattern detachable box magazine. It accepts standard AICS 5-round and 10-round magazines, though the factory 5-rounder is included.

Is the stock adjustable for length of pull?

No. The carbon stock is fixed at a 13.5-inch length of pull. This is a trade-off for weight savings; aftermarket recoil pads can adjust fit slightly.
