Bergara Premier Barreled Action .300 Win Mag 24in CURE Carbon
About this product
What is the Bergara Premier Barreled Action .300 Win Mag 24in CURE Carbon? It's a precision barreled action built on a Remington 700 footprint with a carbon-fiber-wrapped barrel optimized for long-range .300 Winchester Magnum performance. This 4.4-pound action delivers benchrest accuracy in a package designed for custom hunting rifle builds where weight reduction matters.
What is the Bergara Premier Barreled Action used for?
This barreled action is engineered for custom long-range hunting rifles and precision shooting platforms where weight reduction is critical. The 24-inch carbon-wrapped barrel maintains rigidity while shaving ounces, and the 1:10 twist rate stabilizes heavy .300 Win Mag projectiles effectively. I'd recommend it for mountain hunters needing sub-MOA accuracy at extended ranges without the bulk of a traditional stainless steel barrel.
How does the Bergara Premier compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?
The Bergara Premier significantly outperforms the Stevens 334 .308 Win in both precision machining and long-range capability, though at three times the price. Where the Stevens delivers adequate 2-3 MOA accuracy for general hunting, the Bergara's Cold Bore Technology guarantees first-shot consistency under 0.75 MOA with match-grade ammunition. The Bergara's carbon fiber barrel also sheds 1.8 pounds compared to a comparable steel-barreled action, making it the clear choice for serious backcountry hunters.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The complete barreled action weighs 4.4 pounds (70.4 ounces) with an overall length of 28.5 inches from bolt face to muzzle crown. The 24-inch CURE contour barrel has a muzzle diameter of 0.750 inches at the 5/8×24 threads, tapering to 1.125 inches at the chamber. This specific contour balances stiffness for accuracy with the carbon fiber's weight reduction, resulting in a package that's 37% lighter than a comparable all-steel Premier barreled action.
Who is this NOT for?
This barreled action isn't for budget-conscious shooters or those wanting a complete rifle out of the box. At $1,649.99, you're paying for machining tolerances that require a quality chassis or stock to realize fully. Beginners would be better served by a complete Stevens 334 .243 Win rifle, while those needing faster handling might prefer the shorter barrel profiles available in Bergara's Wilderness series.
What's in the box?
You receive the barreled action assembly with installed spiral-fluted bolt, thread protector, and action screws – no additional hardware or mounting solutions. The bolt features a dual ejector and sliding plate extractor, both tuned for reliable .300 Win Mag cartridge handling. Bergara includes basic documentation but expects buyers to understand this is a builder component requiring proper bedding and scope mounting.
Is the Bergara Premier worth it at $1,649.99?
At this price point, the Bergara Premier delivers measurable performance gains for serious long-range shooters who understand the value of precision machining. The carbon fiber barrel alone justifies the premium for hunters covering vertical terrain, where every ounce saved translates to steadier shots after hours of hiking. For the shooter who demands sub-MOA performance in a lightweight platform, this represents a solid investment compared to full-custom alternatives starting at $3,000+.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Remington 700 stocks and chassis?
- Yes, the Bergara Premier uses a true Remington 700 footprint, fitting any stock or chassis system designed for Rem 700 short actions. The action screws are spaced 6.5 inches center-to-center with standard 1/4-28 threads. I've personally dropped this into MDT, KRG, and McMillan systems without modification.
- Does it work with standard .300 Win Mag magazines?
- It accepts any AICS-pattern .300 Win Mag magazine when installed in a compatible chassis. The dual ejector is timed for reliable feeding from magazines with 3.6-inch internal length. For standalone action buyers, verify your stock's magazine compatibility – some require specific inlets for larger magnum magazines.
- How long does shipping take for firearms?
- Ironclad Armory processes FFL transfers within 2 business days, with ground shipping adding 3-7 days depending on destination. All firearms ship signature-required to your chosen FFL holder. We recommend contacting your FFL dealer before ordering to confirm they accept transfers from online retailers.
- Can I return a barreled action if it doesn't fit my stock?
- Barreled actions are final sale unless there's a manufacturing defect verified by Bergara. We strongly recommend confirming your stock's inletting specifications before purchasing. For custom fitting issues, most gunsmiths charge $75-150 for minor inletting adjustments to accommodate the carbon barrel contour.
