Bergara Bbl Action #5.5 6.5 PRC 26 inches Stainless Bolt-Action Rifle

The Bergara Barrel Action #5.5 6.5 PRC 26-inch stainless bolt-action rifle is a precision-engineered component system designed for long-range hunters, competitive shooters, and precision rifle builders who demand factory-quality accuracy without the premium price tag of a complete rifle. This barrel-action assembly represents the professional choice for shooters who understand that accuracy begins with the fundamental relationship between barrel harmonics, action geometry, and chamber concentricity—three variables that directly determine shot placement at extended distances.

Built from stainless steel and chambered in 6.5 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge), this #5.5 profile barrel delivers the ballistic performance that modern magnum cartridges were engineered to achieve. The 26-inch barrel length maximizes velocity extraction while remaining practical for field work—longer than shorter profiles but still manageable in tactical or hunting applications where maneuverability matters. The 6.5 PRC cartridge itself bridges the gap between 6.5 Creedmoor and larger magnums, offering superior wind deflection resistance and energy retention beyond 1,000 yards compared to smaller calibers, making it the caliber of choice for elite precision rifle competitors and experienced long-range hunters seeking genuine performance gains.

This barrel-action assembly suits builders who already possess the gunsmithing knowledge or access to a qualified gunsmith capable of final assembly, bedding, and headspace verification. Competitive riflemen, custom build enthusiasts, and precision-focused hunters benefit most from purchasing components rather than complete rifles—component selection offers flexibility in stock geometry, trigger options, and optics mounting solutions. The stainless construction resists corrosion in field environments and delivers consistent thermal stability across temperature ranges, critical for maintaining zero during multi-stage competitions or extended hunting seasons where barrel temperature fluctuation directly impacts point-of-impact shifts.
