The Premier Series is as close to custom as it gets, but with standardized features for greater efficiencies in parts production and assembly. The Premier Series Stalker Rifle features a Premium 416 stainless steel Bergara barrel (#3 taper), which receives a proprietary honing process at our barrel-making facility, and then continues through another four stages of production to produce the most accurate production barrel we could possibly make. Upon completion, the barrel receives a Cerakote™ finish and is coupled with the Bergara PREMIER action, all of which is completed at our facility in Lawrenceville, GA USA.
The Bergara Premier Stalker Rifle is one of the all-around best hunting rifles on the market! The Rifle features a custom engineered full carbon fiber stock, built by a group of craftsmen who cut their teeth in the aerospace industry. The stock is extremely lightweight, rigid, and durable. Its one-piece construction is the key to its superiority over other carbon fiber stocks, most of which are made of two molded halves that are bonded together. This type of attention to detail and quality creates a rifle that is ready for any environment!
The Stalker Rifle uses the Bergara Premier Action. This action is designed as a two-lug system that features a separate floating bolt head to ensure contact with the lug abutments in the action. It also features a cone-shaped bolt nose for smooth feeding of the cartridge, and a spring-loaded sliding plate extractor located in the front of the lower locking lug. The one-piece bolt body is stainless steel with a pad at the rear to accept the threaded-in bolt handle. The bolt head, the non-rotating gas shield, the bolt handle, and bolt shroud are fully Nitrided for extreme durability, as well as its self-lubricating properties. ?The two-position safety is part of the trigger assembly, which in the Stalker rifle is a Timney 510 curved trigger One great feature of this combination allows the bolt handle not to lock in the closed position, which in turn allows the rifle to be unloaded while in the safe position. The Stalker comes standard with a hinged floor plate, and offers two barrel lengths, a 22” Bergara Barrels on Short Action Calibers, and a 24” Bergara Barrel on Long Action Calibers.
All Premier Series rifles are guaranteed to produce groups of 1.0 MOA or less with factory match grade ammunition.
The Stalker rifle starts at $2,190.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 6.5 Creedmoor was introduced by Hornady in 2008. Uniquely, it was designed for accuracy with long-range competition in mind. Using a 308 Winchester (30 TC, 300 Savage) case shortened to 1.920 inches, it will feed through the shortest existing bolt actions, but remains supersonic to well beyond 1000 yards. Standard velocity is a 140-grain .264-inch bullet at 2820 fps, also making it an effective but mild-recoiling medium-range hunting cartridge. The 6.5 Creedmoor was introduced with little fanfare, but after it started winning matches shooters took notice. This is an unusual phenomenon for a cartridge to suddenly "take off" years after its introduction, but that's the story of the 6.5 Creedmoor--after about 2016 it became one of the most-talked-about cartridges, with both rifle and ammunition offerings expanding rapidly.
