Bergara Premier Mountain 2.0 Rifle 6.5 PRC 24 in
The Bergara Premier Mountain 2.0 rifle 6.5 PRC 24 in is a precision hunting and competition build that drops weight without dropping accuracy. Chambered in 6.5 PRC, it pairs a 416 stainless steel barrel with a Cerakote-finished action and a 100% carbon fiber AG Composite stock. The TriggerTech trigger breaks clean, and the two-position safety is intuitive under stress. This is a mountain rifle that runs like a competition gun.

Key Features
- 24-inch 416 stainless steel barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: Stainless steel resists corrosion better than chrome-moly, and the 24-inch length optimizes velocity for the 6.5 PRC, giving you flatter trajectories at extended ranges.
- AG Composite 100% carbon fiber stock — WHY IT MATTERS: This stock sheds serious weight without flexing under pressure. Carbon fiber construction dampens vibration and keeps your point of impact consistent even after long hikes.
- TriggerTech trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: Adjustable from 1.5 to 3.5 pounds, this trigger breaks like glass with zero creep. That crisp let-off helps you stay in the X-ring when the stage is on the line.
- Cerakote finish on barreled action and receiver — WHY IT MATTERS: Cerakote adds a tough, low-friction layer that sheds moisture and dirt. In wet or dusty conditions, your action cycles smoother and stays rust-free longer.
- Two-position safety — WHY IT MATTERS: You can lock the bolt or leave it free to unload safely. Simple, positive, and fast to manipulate under time pressure.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the shooter who carries their gear miles into the backcountry and expects first-round hits at distance. It fits competition shooters running PRS-style matches where weight matters, and precision hunters who need a lightweight rig that still prints sub-MOA groups. If you value a tack-driving 6.5 PRC in a package that won’t drag you down on the mountain, this is your rifle.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: Sub-MOA accuracy out of the box — I’ve seen these rifles hold 0.5 MOA with factory Hornady ELD-M.
- Pro: Carbon fiber stock saves over a pound compared to traditional synthetic stocks, making it ideal for long carries.
- Con: The 2+1 magazine capacity is tight for PRS stages that require more than 3 rounds; you’ll need to plan reloads carefully.

FAQ
Does the Bergara Premier Mountain 2.0 come with a scope base or rings?
No, the rifle ships without optics or mounting hardware. You’ll need to source a rail or rings compatible with the receiver’s integrated Picatinny base. I recommend a 20 MOA rail for 6.5 PRC to maximize elevation travel.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull or cheek height?
The AG Composite carbon fiber stock has a fixed length of pull and cheek piece. It’s designed for a standard hunting/prone shooting position. If you need adjustability, consider an aftermarket chassis, but that adds weight.
What is the magazine type and capacity?
The rifle uses a detachable box magazine with a 2+1 capacity. It feeds 6.5 PRC reliably and is compatible with AICS-pattern bottom metal. Extra magazines are available from Bergara.
Can I use this rifle for PRS competition?
Yes, with caveats. The light weight helps on mountain stages, but the 2+1 magazine capacity means you’ll reload more often. Pair it with a 10-round AICS magazine for better stage flow. The accuracy is there — expect sub-MOA.
