Bergara USA has introduced a series of new production rifles for sport shooters and hunters with the announcement of the Premier Series BPR-16 Classic and BPR-16 Stalker bolt-action rifles. The new models combine the custom looks and performance of the company's high-end rifles with production-level affordability.

Bergara Barrels initially entered the custom rifle market three years ago. Incorporating its proprietary rifling process, and under the direction of former Marine sniper rifle builder, Dan Hanus, Bergara's custom rifles are respected by big game hunters, law enforcement and long-range shooting enthusiasts.

Premier Series BPR-16 rifles are built on your choice of hand-laid fiberglass or Grade 5 highly-figured walnut stocks, both featuring an aluminum bedding block, providing beneficial strength without adding unnecessary weight to the rifle. The barrels and actions receive a Cerakote finish, eliminating the glare of the stainless steel and providing extra protection against the elements. A Timney trigger rounds out this rifle's line-up of components.

5 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me Before My First Elk Hunt

I grew up hunting whitetails in the Midwest, and while I thought I was in “elk shape” on my first western hunt, I quickly learned that chasing elk at high elevation requires an entirely different level of fitness.

If you’re fortunate enough to fill your tag, the real work starts.

Smart Optics 101

Smart optics are changing the way hunters and shooters approach distance, accuracy and confidence in the field.
