Bergara Ridge Sp 6.5cm 18" 4-Round Rifle

The Bergara Ridge SP 6.5cm 18" 4-Round Rifle is a purpose-built bolt-action rifle engineered for precision shooting at extended ranges where modern tactical and hunting applications demand reliability and accuracy. Designed for shooters who require a compact, lightweight platform without sacrificing ballistic performance, this rifle delivers the intermediate-power efficiency of 6.5cm—a cartridge favored by military and law enforcement marksmen for its superior ballistic coefficient and wind resistance compared to traditional 308 Winchester loads. The 4-round magazine capacity makes this platform ideal for tactical precision work, long-range hunting, and field applications where controlled fire and quick magazine changes matter.

Built on Bergara's proven B14 action, the Ridge SP model features a short-action design optimized for the 6.5cm cartridge, ensuring consistent bolt throw and minimal lock time for tight shot grouping. The 18-inch barrel strikes a critical balance between velocity retention and maneuverability—essential for tactical and backcountry scenarios where a shorter sight radius and reduced overall length (53 inches) provide tactical advantage without excessive velocity loss inherent to shorter barrels in this caliber. At 8.94 lbs unloaded, the rifle remains portable for extended field operations while maintaining the mass necessary for stable shooting positions. The modern ergonomic design accommodates contemporary tactical accessories and optic mounting systems standard to professional rifle platforms.

This rifle appeals to tactical shooters, precision rifle competitors, and experienced hunters who understand the 6.5cm's proven performance envelope at distance. Law enforcement precision marksmen and military-adjacent users value Bergara's reputation for sub-MOA accuracy and fieldproof reliability. The compact profile makes it equally suited for hunters working steep terrain or tactical operators requiring a lightweight, accurate platform. Installation of aftermarket stocks, rail systems, and optics is straightforward due to the standardized design, and the 4-round magazine format is readily available through specialized ammunition suppliers and tactical retailers.
