Description
The Bergara Premier Highlander is a Premier Series bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, built on Bergara’s USA-made Premier action. This configuration (Bergara model BPR33-65, UPC 043125065318) has a 24-inch fluted No. 5 taper barrel, a Grayboe fiberglass stock in woodland camo and a hinged floorplate, and it weighs about 7.6 pounds.
Bergara Premier Highlander Overview
The Highlander was designed for hunters who want premium components and real long-range accuracy in a rifle that can take a beating. Its stock is stiff, tough and stable in every kind of weather, and the barrel balances weight and rigidity for both field and range work. The Bergara Premier Highlander carries Bergara’s sub-MOA accuracy guarantee with quality factory ammunition.
A Refined Two-Lug Action
The action is a two-lug design with a separate floating bolt head that ensures full contact with the lug abutments, plus a coned bolt nose and breech for smooth feeding. It fits Remington 700 style scope bases with 8-40 screws, which gives you a huge range of mounting options. A TriggerTech trigger with Frictionless Release Technology delivers a crisp, consistent break every time.
Grayboe Fiberglass Stock and Fluted Barrel
The stock offers a comfortable grip and a wide, flat fore-end that rides steady on packs and bags, while its woodland camo finish blends into timber. The No. 5 taper barrel is fluted to cut weight and speed cooling, finished in Sniper Gray Cerakote and threaded 5/8×24 with Bergara’s Omni muzzle brake to tame recoil.
Why the 6.5 Creedmoor Fits
The 6.5 Creedmoor fires long, high-BC bullets with mild recoil, which makes it easy to shoot well and deadly on deer, pronghorn and black bear. It is one of the most widely stocked rifle cartridges in America, and the 1:8 twist stabilizes the heavy 140 to 147 grain bullets the round is known for.
Setup and Care
Mount a quality scope with solid rings, zero at 100 yards and record drops at several distances with the load you plan to use. Practice from field positions as well as the bench. After a wet day, wipe the rifle down, run a dry patch through the bore and let it air out of the case overnight, and check the action screws and scope mounts before each season.
Choosing Optics
A rifle with this level of accuracy deserves good glass. For most hunting, a 3-15x or 4-16x scope with a simple holdover or turret system covers everything from close timber shots to long field shots. If you plan to shoot farther, choose a first focal plane scope with exposed elevation turrets and a zero stop, and mount it on a one-piece 20 MOA base for extra elevation travel. Keep the total package balanced so the rifle still carries comfortably on a sling.
