The Bergara Premier Series rifles will offer all the features and performance of the company's custom models—at affordable prices

Although you may not recognize the name, chances are you have seen and even shot the handiwork produced by Bergara. Following its success in the barrel market, Bergara recently moved into building complete rifles, including the Custom Mountain Hunter.

Newton’s third law of motion pronounces that to every action there is always opposed an equal reaction. This basic law of physics applies to rifles. The reaction to the bullet speeding down the barrel is recoil pushing against your shoulder. The more recoil you experience, the more likely you are to flinch. Hornady’s new Custom Lite ammunition is designed to reduce the likelihood of that flinch—or possibly even eliminate it.

Bergara burst into full gear in 2008, just when AR-15 sales were skyrocketing and manufacturers couldn’t buy enough barrels.

Whether you are a hunter, target shooter, competitor or all of the above, you need to be aware of the trends developing in the ammunition industry, as simply buying the same ammo you always have might mean giving up accuracy and performance.
