The Bergara Premier Series Approach Rifle is designed to deliver near-custom performance with the efficiency of standardized production. The rifle features a stainless steel Bergara barrel with a #5.5 taper, honed through a proprietary process to achieve exceptional accuracy. This barrel is then coated with a durable Graphite Black Cerakote finish for both longevity and a sleek appearance. The rifle's heart is the Bergara Premier Action, a two-lug system with a separate floating bolt head that guarantees precise contact with the lug abutments, enhancing the consistency of each shot. The action also includes a cone-shaped bolt nose for smooth cartridge feeding and a spring-loaded sliding plate extractor for reliable extraction. The stainless steel bolt body, along with the bolt head, handle, shroud, and non-rotating gas shield, is fully nitrided, providing extreme durability and self-lubricating properties. The Approach Rifle is equipped with a TriggerTech trigger that utilizes Frictionless Release Technology. A notable feature of this setup is the ability to unload the rifle while the safety is engaged, thanks to the design that prevents the bolt handle from locking in the closed position. The rifle comes with a hinged floor plate with varying capacities depending on the caliber: 4 rounds for standard calibers, 3 for magnum calibers, and 2 for larger calibers like 300 PRC and 28 Nosler. Barrel lengths vary by caliber, with options including 20, 24, or 26" barrels. The 2019 model of the Approach also includes a 5-round AICS-style magazine.
