Overview
The Bergara Premier MgLite is engineered for shooters demanding exceptional precision and reduced weight in a field-ready platform. Integrating Bergara’s proprietary PREMIER action with their CURE Carbon Barrel, this rifle offers a performance-driven solution for diverse shooting applications requiring consistent accuracy and optimized maneuverability.
Key Features
Bergara PREMIER Action
At the core of the MgLite is Bergara’s PREMIER action, a robust two-lug system meticulously machined for reliability and precision. It incorporates a separate floating bolt head designed to ensure full contact with the lug abutments. The action features a non-rotating gas shield, a coned bolt nose for smooth cartridge feeding, and a spring-loaded sliding plate extractor positioned at the front of the lower locking lug. The one-piece bolt body, constructed from stainless steel, includes a threaded-in bolt handle. Critical components, including the bolt head, non-rotating gas shield, and bolt shroud, are fully Nitrided, enhancing extreme durability and providing self-lubricating properties for consistent operation in demanding conditions.
CURE Carbon Fiber Barrel
The MgLite utilizes Bergara’s CURE Carbon Barrel, a specialized carbon fiber-wrapped barrel engineered to reduce overall rifle weight while maintaining rigidity and thermal stability essential for precision shooting. This construction mitigates heat build-up and minimizes point-of-impact shift across extended firing sequences, providing consistent accuracy.
XLR Folding Chassis
The rifle is equipped with a Flat Dark Earth XLR Folding Chassis. This precision-machined chassis provides a stable and ergonomic shooting platform, while its folding design significantly reduces the rifle’s overall length for transport and storage, enhancing its utility for field deployment.
TriggerTech Frictionless Release Trigger
Precision engagement is managed by a TriggerTech Frictionless Release Technology trigger system. This assembly ensures a crisp, predictable break, critical for shot placement accuracy. The integrated two-position safety is designed to allow the rifle to be unloaded while the safety is engaged, providing an additional layer of operational security.
Construction and Finish
The PREMIER action’s steel receiver is finished with a Graphite Black Cerakote, providing superior corrosion resistance and wear protection. This durable coating, combined with the Nitrided bolt components, ensures long-term performance and reduced maintenance requirements in harsh environments.
