About this product
The Bergara HMR Pro .300 PRC Threaded Rifle is a precision bolt-action rifle built on Bergara's Premier action, designed for long-range shooting with suppressor compatibility. Chambered in the .300 PRC cartridge, it features a 5-round AICS-style detachable magazine and a TriggerTech frictionless release trigger system. This rifle weighs 10.2 pounds and measures 44 inches in overall length, making it a substantial but purpose-built tool for serious marksmen.
What is the Bergara HMR Pro .300 PRC used for?
This rifle is specifically engineered for long-range precision shooting and hunting applications beyond 800 yards. The .300 PRC cartridge delivers excellent ballistic performance with minimal wind drift, while the threaded 5/8×24 muzzle accommodates suppressors for hearing protection and reduced recoil. The adjustable stock and mini-chassis system ensure consistent cheek weld and length of pull for repeatable accuracy across different shooting positions and environmental conditions.
How does the Bergara HMR Pro compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Bergara HMR Pro outperforms the Stevens 334 in .308 Win in long-range precision and customization capabilities. While both use bolt-action systems, the Bergara's Premier action features a floating bolt head and coned bolt nose for smoother operation and better cartridge alignment. The HMR Pro's integrated mini-chassis provides superior bedding consistency compared to the Stevens' traditional stock system, resulting in approximately 0.3 MOA improvement in group consistency at 300 yards.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 10.2 pounds with an empty magazine and measures 44 inches in overall length with a 24-inch barrel. The threaded muzzle adds approximately 0.8 inches when measured from the chamber face, while the adjustable stock accommodates length of pull from 13.5 to 14.75 inches. The rifle's balance point sits approximately 6 inches forward of the trigger guard, providing stable off-hand shooting characteristics.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not suitable for beginners or shooters seeking a lightweight hunting rifle for dense brush environments. The 10.2-pound weight makes it cumbersome for extended carrying, while the .300 PRC ammunition costs approximately $3.50 per round versus $0.80 for .308 Winchester. Shooters preferring traditional wood stocks or those operating under NFA restrictions for threaded barrels should consider alternatives like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win for simpler compliance requirements.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 5-round AICS-style detachable magazine and factory test target showing group performance. The package includes four length-of-pull spacers for stock adjustment and two hex wrenches for cheek piece and trigger adjustments. All mounting surfaces are pre-drilled and tapped for Remington 700-style bases, though optics and rings must be purchased separately.
Is the Bergara HMR Pro worth it at $1,749.99?
At $1,749.99, this rifle represents excellent value for serious long-range shooters requiring sub-MOA accuracy. The TriggerTech trigger alone retails for $200 when purchased separately, while the Cerakote finish adds approximately $300 in aftermarket value. Compared to custom-built precision rifles starting at $3,000, the HMR Pro delivers comparable performance at nearly half the cost for shooters willing to accept factory-level customization limitations.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard Remington 700 scope bases?
- Yes, the receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Remington 700 pattern scope bases. Bergara uses the exact same hole spacing and thread pattern, allowing direct mounting of popular bases from manufacturers like Talley, Nightforce, and Seekins Precision without modification.
- Does the threaded muzzle accept suppressors?
- The 5/8×24 thread pattern accommodates most .30 caliber suppressors including models from SilencerCo, Dead Air, and Rugged. Expect approximately 8-12 dB reduction with proper suppressor attachment, though users must complete ATF Form 4 and pay the $200 tax stamp before taking possession of the suppressor.
- How long does shipping take for firearms?
- Firearms ship within 3 business days after FFL verification to your chosen licensed dealer. Transit time averages 5-7 business days via UPS or FedEx, though rural locations may require additional 2-3 days. All shipments require adult signature and FFL acceptance confirmation.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my needs?
- Firearms may be returned within 30 days only if unfired and in original packaging, subject to 15% restocking fee. Once the firearm has been fired or the serial number registered to your name, returns are not accepted due to federal regulations. All returns must go through an FFL holder for proper transfer documentation.
