The BERGARA CREST in .308 Winchester, featuring a 20-inch barrel, is engineered for the discerning shooter who requires a lightweight, robust, and highly accurate bolt action rifle for demanding field conditions. This platform integrates precision manufacturing with utility-driven design, providing consistent performance across diverse environments.
Key Features
Precision Barrel System
The 20-inch, 4140 CrMo fluted steel barrel, finished in a matte black, is meticulously manufactured to Bergara’s stringent quality standards. This profile mitigates weight while retaining rigidity, optimizing accuracy potential. The barrel is threaded 5/8-24″ at the muzzle, facilitating direct integration of suppressors or other muzzle devices. Its 1:10″ twist rate is optimized for stabilizing a broad spectrum of .308 Winchester bullet weights, enhancing versatility.
Bergara B-14 Action
At its core, the CREST utilizes Bergara’s proven B-14 series action. This two-lug, push-feed system incorporates a coned bolt nose for smooth feeding and a sliding plate extractor for reliable case ejection. The action is precisely machined from stainless steel, ensuring dimensional stability and enduring performance under adverse operational conditions. Compatibility with AICS-style detachable magazines streamlines reloading procedures.
Lightweight OMNI Carbon Fiber Stock
The rifle’s significant weight reduction is primarily attributed to its advanced OMNI carbon fiber stock. Engineered for strength and minimal mass, this gray-finished stock provides a stable shooting platform while drastically reducing fatigue during extended carry. The ergonomic design ensures positive manipulation and shooter comfort, even in challenging field scenarios.
Bergara Performance Trigger
A critical component in achieving repeatable precision, the Bergara Performance Trigger delivers a crisp, consistent break. Factory-set and user-adjustable, this trigger system allows for fine-tuning to individual shooter preference, directly contributing to enhanced shot placement and overall weapon system control.
