Overview
The BERGARA HMR (Hunting Match Rifle) in 300 PRC is a purpose-built bolt-action system designed for precision engagement at extended ranges.

The HMR’s design prioritizes stability, adjustability, and inherent accuracy, making it a formidable tool for precision applications.
Key Features
Bergara B-14 Action
The foundation of the HMR system is the Bergara B-14 action, known for its smooth cycling and robust construction. This two-lug system utilizes a coned bolt nose and a sliding plate extractor to ensure reliable feeding and extraction under varying conditions. The B-14 action is designed with a Remington 700 footprint, allowing for broad compatibility with aftermarket components for customization.
Bergara Performance Barrel
Each HMR rifle features a 26-inch Bergara Performance Barrel. Crafted from 4140 CrMo steel, these barrels undergo a precise honing process to achieve a consistent bore, critical for sub-MOA potential. The 26-inch length optimizes velocity potential for the 300 PRC cartridge, while the threaded muzzle (5/8-24″) accommodates muzzle brakes or suppressors. The barrel is finished with a durable Cerakote coating to resist environmental degradation.
HMR Stock System
The Bergara HMR stock is engineered for optimal shooter interface and stability. It incorporates an integrated aluminum mini-chassis, ensuring a rigid bedding surface for the action and barrel assembly, which minimizes flex and enhances shot consistency. The stock features tool-less adjustability for length of pull and comb height, allowing the shooter to achieve a precise and repeatable cheek weld and eye relief. Multiple flush-cup QD sling swivel mounts are integrated for secure sling attachment.
Trigger System
Equipped with a Bergara Performance Trigger, the HMR provides a crisp, clean break, essential for precise shot placement. This factory-tuned trigger contributes significantly to the rifle’s overall accuracy potential.
Feeding System
The HMR utilizes an AICS-compatible detachable box magazine system, facilitating rapid reloads. This design ensures reliable feeding and broad compatibility with readily available aftermarket magazine options.
