The Bergara Premier Ridgeback 6.5 PRC rifle combines precision engineering with practical versatility for hunters and long-range shooters who demand dependable performance without custom-shop pricing. Built on Bergara's purpose-designed Premier action, this rifle pairs a Spanish-made 416 stainless steel barrel with American assembly and finishing to deliver the accuracy of a handcrafted gun with the consistency of a production rifle. The 6.5 PRC chambering has earned respect across the hunting world for its flat trajectory, energy retention, and wind-bucking capabilities—making it a natural choice for western hunters, target competitors, and anyone stretching shots beyond 500 yards.
At the heart of the Ridgeback is Bergara's proprietary Premier action, engineered as a two-lug system with a separate floating bolt head designed to ensure square contact with the lug abutments, delivering the lockup precision that separates quality rifles from the rest. The cone-shaped bolt nose facilitates smooth, reliable feeding, while the spring-loaded sliding plate extractor sits forward on the lower locking lug—a design that resists fouling and keeps extraction consistent through thousands of rounds. The one-piece stainless steel bolt body is paired with a Nitrided bolt shroud and bolt stop for self-lubricating durability, and a Cerakote-finished bolt handle that resists corrosion in any weather. The two-position safety is integrated into the trigger assembly for clean ergonomics.
Your trigger is a TriggerTech Frictionless Release Technology unit—a premium factory trigger that breaks clean and predictably, giving you the shot discipline you earned on the range. The 6.5 PRC barrel is medium-Palma tapered, threaded 5/8-24" with a thread protector included, leaving room for a suppressor, muzzle brake, or other devices to match your setup. The Grayboe Ridgeback fiberglass stock features an easily adjustable cheek rest and full M-LOK compatibility for mounting bipods, slings, or accessories without gunsmithing. The rifle ships with a 7-round AICS-style magazine, ships in Graphite Black Cerakote, and accepts standard Remington 700 scope bases.
Offered in three barrel lengths—20", 24", or 26"—and weighing between 10 and 10.7 lbs depending on configuration, the Premier Ridgeback balances portability with sight radius and muzzle velocity. Whether you're building a truck gun, a competition rifle, or a serious hunting tool, this is a rifle that performs like it costs significantly more.

Frequently Asked Questions
What scope bases and rings does the Bergara Premier Ridgeback use?
The rifle is drilled and tapped for standard Remington 700 scope bases using 8x40 screws. Any quality Remington 700–compatible base and ring combination will work with this rifle.
Can I use a suppressor or muzzle brake on this rifle?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24" and ships with a thread protector. You can install a suppressor, brake, or other 5/8-24" threaded device without modification.
What magazine does it come with, and can I use other 6.5 PRC magazines?
The rifle includes a 7-round AICS-style detachable magazine. Other AICS-compatible magazines in 6.5 PRC should function in the rifle, though we recommend confirming compatibility with your specific magazine brand.
How does the Premier Ridgeback action differ from a standard Remington 700?
The Bergara Premier action uses a proprietary two-lug design with a separate floating bolt head, cone-shaped bolt nose, and spring-loaded sliding plate extractor. These features are engineered to deliver tighter lockup tolerances and more consistent feeding than traditional designs. The Nitrided bolt shroud and bolt stop add durability and self-lubricating properties.
