Description
The Bergara Premier HMR Pro is a Premier Series bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, built on Bergara’s USA-made Premier action. This configuration (Bergara model BPR20-65MC, UPC 043125065103) has a 24-inch stainless steel barrel, an adjustable HMR stock with integrated mini-chassis and an AICS-style detachable magazine, and it weighs about 9.5 pounds.
Bergara Premier HMR Pro Overview
The HMR Pro, short for Hunting and Match Rifle, is a staple of the Bergara lineup. Its stock has an integrated mini-chassis for repeatable bedding and supports a fully free-floated barrel, so it shoots tight groups whether you are on a ridge or at a PRS-style match. The Bergara Premier HMR Pro 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. The one-piece stainless bolt body has a threaded-in handle, and the bolt head, gas shield and shroud are fully nitrided for durability and self-lubrication. It feeds from an AICS magazine for fast, reliable reloads.
Adjustable Mini-Chassis Stock
The stock adds an adjustable cheek piece and length-of-pull spacers so you can set a perfect cheek weld behind a large scope, plus integrated QD flush-cup sling mounts and swivel studs for slings and bipods. The stainless barrel goes through extra honing and quality checks, then is Cerakoted and assembled in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
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.
