Bergara Bbl Action #5.5 7 PRC 24 Stainless Bolt-Action Rifle

The Bergara Barrel Action #5.5 7mm PRC 24 Stainless Bolt-Action Rifle is a precision barreled action system engineered for long-range shooters, competitive marksmen, and firearms builders who demand repeatable accuracy at extended distances. This platform exists to serve shooters who require a complete, pre-matched barrel-to-action combination that eliminates the guesswork of independent component selection. Whether you're building a custom rifle from the ground up or upgrading an existing platform, this barreled action delivers the foundation upon which sub-minute-of-angle performance is built.

Bergara's Number 5.5 profile barrel—measuring 24 inches in length—is chambered in the 7mm PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge), a modern magnum round that balances high velocity with manageable recoil and excellent ballistic coefficients for long-range work. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in adverse field conditions while maintaining dimensional stability across temperature swings, critical for precision shooting where barrel harmonics directly impact group size. The integral action design ensures perfect headspace alignment and barrel concentricity straight from the box, eliminating timing variability that can introduce vertical stringing or flyer rounds. The 7mm PRC chambering delivers approximately 2,900+ fps with premium match-grade ammunition, making it suitable for targets and game at ranges from 300 to 1,500+ yards depending on load development and shooter skill.

This barreled action benefits precision rifle competitors, long-range hunters, and gunsmith-level builders who value time-to-accuracy over off-the-shelf simplicity. Installation requires mounting to an appropriate chassis or stock system with proper bedding to preserve inherent accuracy—most builders will mate this to a precision rifle chassis or modern composite stock designed for modular barreled actions. The Bergara platform is compatible with standard AR10-pattern triggers and firing pin assemblies, offering flexibility in final component selection. Shooters in PRS (Precision Rifle Series), NRL, and similar competitions will find this action's ergonomics and balance point well-suited to field positions and prone shooting, while the stainless barrel makes it reliable for multi-day events and variable weather exposure.
