This week, we’re showcasing a lightweight chassis rifle that combines accuracy, ergonomics and packability to produce one heck of a mountain hunting rig: the Bergara Premier Series MgLite.
The Premier MgLite rifle features an ultra-lightweight XLR Element magnesium chassis and Bergara’s proprietary CURE Carbon barrel, making it the epitome of a lightweight, packable precision hunting rifle.
Contributor Frank Melloni takes readers through a range day with Bergara's Premier MgLite, a magnesium chassis rifle made with the backcountry in mind.
The Bergara Premier Canyon rifle is beautifully lightweight and comfortable to carry. It balances like a Latin dancer and shoots as well as its heritage suggests.
Representing a lighter, backcountry-minded version of the Bergara HMR, the Premier Divide bridges the gap between a tactical and hunting rifle, pairing the company's proprietary Cure Carbon Barrel with a custom AG Composites Chalk Branch carbon stock.
If you’re in the market for a rig with the classic fit and feel of a hunting rifle stock without the extra weight, the new Bergara Premier Canyon, built on a 100 percent carbon fiber AG Composites stock, is worth a close look.
