Description

When you’re hunting or shooting in the varied terrain of the United States—from the high deserts of the West to the dense timber of the Northeast—a rifle that delivers consistent, long-range accuracy is a tool you can rely on.

What This Product Is and Who It’s For

The Bergara Premier Highlander is a bolt-action rifle designed for shooters who prioritize accuracy and durability in a hunting or precision rifle. It is chambered in 300 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge), a caliber developed for long-range performance with flat trajectories and retained energy. This rifle is intended for target shooters who compete in long-range matches, hunters pursuing elk, mule deer, or other large game at extended distances, and collectors who appreciate a well-engineered firearm from a reputable U.S.-based manufacturer. It is not a home defense or concealed carry option—its purpose is deliberate, precise shooting at range.

Feature Deep-Dive

The Bergara Premier Highlander starts with a hand-lapped stainless steel barrel, a process that ensures consistent bore dimensions and reduces friction for improved accuracy. The 24-inch length is a practical choice for the 300 PRC cartridge, providing enough velocity for long-range performance while remaining maneuverable in a hunting blind or mountain terrain. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24 TPI, allowing you to attach a muzzle brake, suppressor, or other accessories without needing a gunsmith—a feature that appeals to shooters who want to reduce recoil or comply with state-specific hunting regulations regarding suppressors.

The fiberglass camo stock is a key element of this rifle’s design. It is lightweight, which helps keep the overall weight manageable for carrying in the field, and it is built on a rigid chassis system that free-floats the barrel. The stock includes an adjustable cheek piece and length of pull, so you can customize the fit to your body type and shooting style. The camo pattern is a practical choice for hunters who need to blend into varied environments, and the stock’s finish is resistant to moisture and impact, making it suitable for use in rain, snow, or brush.

The Bergara Premier action is based on a modified Remington 700 footprint, which means it accepts a wide range of aftermarket triggers, stocks, and scope mounts. The action features a smooth 90-degree bolt lift with a controlled round feed, which aids in reliable cartridge extraction and chambering, even when working the bolt quickly. The two-lug design is proven for strength and simplicity, and the action is bedded into the stock using a CNC-machined aluminum bedding block, which maintains alignment between the action and barrel over time.

The trigger system is the Bergara Performance Trigger, which is adjustable from 2.5 to 4 pounds. At the factory setting, it breaks cleanly with minimal creep, allowing you to focus on sight alignment and follow-through. The trigger is fully enclosed in the action to prevent debris from affecting its performance, a detail that matters when you’re hunting in dusty or muddy conditions. The two-position tang safety is intuitive and easy to operate with your thumb, even while wearing gloves.

The rifle includes a 20 MOA Picatinny rail, which is pre-installed and allows for mounting a scope with additional elevation travel—essential for reaching out to 1,000 yards and beyond with the 300 PRC cartridge. The detachable box magazine is AICS pattern compatible, which means you can use standard or aftermarket magazines for increased capacity or faster reloads. The magazine release is located within the trigger guard, keeping the design streamlined and reducing the chance of accidental release in the field.

Bergara applies a Cerakote finish to all metal components, including the barrel, action, and bolt. This finish provides corrosion resistance and a low-glare surface that reduces reflections in bright sunlight. The camo stock pattern is matched to the Cerakote color, creating a cohesive appearance that doesn’t compromise on function. Each Premier Highlander is test-fired and inspected at the Bergara facility in Georgia, which gives you confidence that the rifle is ready for use out of the box.

Ideal Use Cases

The Bergara Premier Highlander in 300 PRC is best suited for long-range hunting and precision target shooting. The 300 PRC cartridge offers a significant advantage for hunters pursuing elk, moose, or bear at distances beyond 400 yards, where its retained energy and flat trajectory reduce the need for holdover. For target shooters, this rifle can perform consistently at 1,000 yards or more, making it a strong choice for PRS-style competitions or recreational steel shooting. It is not designed for home defense or concealed carry, as its size and weight are optimized for stationary or prone shooting positions. It can also serve as a collectible for those who value U.S.-made precision rifles with a strong reputation for accuracy.

Compatibility Notes

• Ammunition: 300 PRC ammunition is available from major manufacturers such as Hornady, Federal, and Nosler. This cartridge is not interchangeable with 300 Win Mag or other .30-caliber rounds. Use only SAAMI-spec 300 PRC ammunition for safety and accuracy.
• Magazines: The rifle uses AICS pattern magazines. Standard capacity is 3 rounds, but 5-round and 10-round AICS magazines are available from manufacturers like Accuracy International and Magpul.
• Muzzle Accessories: The 5/8×24 threaded barrel accepts most .30-caliber muzzle brakes, suppressors, and thread protectors. Ensure your suppressor is rated for 300 PRC pressures.
• Scope Mounts: The 20 MOA rail is compatible with standard Picatinny rings or one-piece mounts. Choose rings that match your scope tube diameter (typically 30mm or 34mm for long-range optics).
• Holsters: Not applicable for this rifle.
