Bergara Rifles Bpba177Prc 7 Prc 24" 416 S/S Brl Features 5.5 Contour

The Bergara Rifles BPBA177PRC is a 7mm PRC barrel assembly built for hunters and long-range shooters who demand precision and durability. This 24-inch stainless steel barrel features a 5.5 contour, delivering a balance of rigidity and manageable weight for field work. Whether you're upgrading an existing Bergara platform or building a custom 7mm PRC rifle, this factory barrel offers the quality and dimensional consistency that serious shooters expect from Bergara's heritage of precision manufacturing.

The 7mm PRC has earned recognition as a modern magnum cartridge capable of delivering effective energy at extended ranges while remaining controllable in recoil. A 24-inch barrel in this caliber gives you solid velocity for hunting applications and competition without sacrificing portability in the field. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in harsh conditions—valuable if you hunt in wet or coastal environments—and the 5.5 contour profile is engineered for consistent thermal stability across rapid-fire strings and sustained shooting sessions.

This is a barrel assembly, not a complete rifle, so it's the right choice if you're swapping barrels on a compatible Bergara action or custom building around one. Fit, finish, and headspacing meet Bergara's standards, so you're getting a production-grade component that works with minimal guesswork. If you're looking to either resurrect an older rifle or experiment with a new caliber on a proven platform, a factory barrel like this one cuts setup time and removes a major variable from the accuracy equation.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles is this barrel compatible with?

This Bergara barrel is designed for Bergara rifle actions and platforms that use standard barrel threading and headspacing for the 7mm PRC. Verify your action specifications before ordering, as barrel fitting requires proper headspace measurement and installation technique.

Is this a complete barrel assembly or just the tube?

This is a barrel assembly from Bergara, which includes the barrel itself. Confirm with the product specifications whether breech plug, muzzle threading, or other components are installed.

What's the 5.5 contour used for?

The 5.5 contour balances weight and rigidity. It's heavier than a sporter profile, providing better accuracy and thermal stability during extended shooting or hunting use, while remaining practical to carry in the field.

Why stainless steel?

Stainless steel resists corrosion and weathering better than chrome-moly, making it a good choice for hunters in wet or corrosive environments, and for shooters who value low-maintenance barrel longevity.
