Key Features
- Bergara B-17 Action with Remington 700 Footprint — WHY IT MATTERS: This gives you immediate access to the largest aftermarket ecosystem of triggers, stocks, and chassis systems, so you can fine-tune without gunsmithing.
- 26-Inch #6 Contour Barrel with 5R Rifling — WHY IT MATTERS: The heavier profile resists heat stringing during rapid fire stages, while 5R rifling reduces fouling and copper buildup for sustained accuracy over long strings.
- TriggerTech Adjustable Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: Factory-set at a crisp 2.5 lbs with zero creep or overtravel, it gives you a clean break that competitive shooters demand without aftermarket work.
- M-LOK Handguard with Full-Length Arca Rail — WHY IT MATTERS: You can mount barricade stops, bipods, and weights directly to the Arca rail without adapters, shaving seconds off transitions between positions.
- 10-Round AICS-Pattern Magazine — WHY IT MATTERS: The 6GT feeds flawlessly from these magazines, and the 10-round capacity keeps you in the stage without reloading during PRS courses of fire.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the PRS competitor, the long-range steel shooter, and the precision rifle enthusiast who values factory consistency over custom wait times. If you have been piecing together a custom 6GT build and are tired of chasing parts, the Bergara Competition Rifle delivers a turnkey solution that shoots 0.5 MOA or better with match ammunition. It also suits the collector who appreciates a production rifle that mirrors the fit and finish of a semi-custom gun, but with the warranty and support of a major manufacturer.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Ready-to-compete accuracy out of the box; Arca rail integrated into handguard; TriggerTech trigger eliminates aftermarket upgrade costs; Remington 700 footprint for easy customization.
Cons: At 12.5 lbs, it is heavy for hunting or carry use—this is a dedicated competition rifle, not a field gun. The 26-inch barrel can be cumbersome in tight barricade stages, though the weight helps manage recoil.
