Bergara Mountain 2.0 .300 PRC 24″ Barrel
About this product
The Bergara Mountain 2.0 .300 PRC 24″ Barrel is a precision mountain hunting rifle built for long-range accuracy in high-altitude environments. It combines Bergara's match-grade barrel technology with an AG Composite carbon fiber stock to reduce carry weight while maintaining sub-MOA accuracy potential. This rifle is specifically engineered for hunters who need reliable performance at extreme distances in challenging terrain.
What is the Bergara Mountain 2.0 used for?
This rifle is designed for long-range mountain hunting and precision shooting at extreme distances. The .300 PRC cartridge with 24-inch barrel provides exceptional ballistic performance beyond 1,000 yards, while the carbon fiber stock keeps the total weight down to 6.8 pounds for extended carries. Bergara's match-grade barrel and tightened tolerance action make it suitable for both hunting and tactical applications where first-round hits matter.
How does the Bergara Mountain 0 compare to the Stevens 334?
The Bergara Mountain 2.0 significantly outperforms the Stevens 334 in accuracy and long-range capability at a 206% higher price point. While both are bolt-action rifles, the Bergara features a match-grade barrel with 0.5 MOA guaranteed accuracy versus the Stevens' 1.5 MOA rating, and its carbon fiber construction reduces weight by 2.1 pounds compared to the Stevens' synthetic stock. The Bergara is better for specialized long-range hunting, while the Stevens serves adequately for general-purpose use under 400 yards.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs exactly 6.8 pounds and measures 44.5 inches in overall length with its 24-inch barrel. The carbon fiber stock contributes to this reduced weight while maintaining structural integrity, and the barrel features a 1:9 twist rate optimized for .300 PRC's heavy projectile weights. This combination allows for easy maneuverability in tight mountain terrain while maintaining the barrel length needed for maximum cartridge performance.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not suitable for beginners or budget-conscious shooters who don't need long-range capability. The .300 PRC cartridge costs approximately $3.50 per round compared to $.80 for .308 Winchester, and the rifle's precision-focused design offers no advantages for shots under 300 yards. Hunters who primarily engage game at closer ranges in dense timber would find this rifle's capabilities unnecessary and its ammunition costs prohibitive.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 3-round AICS pattern detachable magazine and basic mounting hardware for scope installation. Bergara includes their standard limited lifetime warranty documentation but does not provide optics, sling, or cleaning supplies. The packaging includes specific torque specifications for action screws (45 inch-pounds) and scope base mounting (25 inch-pounds) to maintain accuracy guarantees.
Is the Bergara Mountain 2.0 worth it at $2063.99?
At $2063.99, this rifle represents excellent value for serious long-range hunters who specifically need its capabilities. The carbon fiber stock alone would cost $800-1000 as an aftermarket upgrade, and Bergara's match-grade barrel typically adds $600-800 over factory barrels. For hunters pursuing elk, moose, or bear at distances beyond 500 yards in mountainous terrain, this rifle's weight savings and accuracy justify the investment compared to more affordable alternatives that cannot perform at these ranges.
