The Bergara Premier Series MG Lite Rifle excels in delivering outstanding long-range performance while maintaining a lightweight design. One of its standout features is the advanced CURE Carbon Fiber Barrel with Coldbore Technology. This barrel combines a Bergara Precision Barrel at its core with a blend of thermally conductive resin and anti-torsion carbon fiber, featuring integrated stainless steel threads. This unique construction ensures exceptional straightness, rigidity, and reduced weight, while also effectively dissipating heat generated from successive shots, resulting in enhanced accuracy.
The MG Lite is also equipped with the XLR Element 4.0 magnesium chassis, specifically designed for backcountry hunters. This ultra-lightweight chassis features a carbon fiber pistol grip and folding stock with adjustable cheek height. To optimize accuracy, the chassis includes an integrated bubble level and an RRS 1.5” Arca-Swiss dovetail machined into the fore-end for tripod use.
Underpinning the rifle's performance is the Premier action, utilizing a two-lug system with a floating bolt head to ensure consistent contact with the lug supports. Smooth cartridge feeding is facilitated by a cone-shaped bolt nose and a spring-loaded sliding plate extractor for reliable brass ejection. The MG Lite also boasts a TriggerTech Frictionless Release Trigger and utilizes an AICS-style magazine for convenient reloading.
Additionally, the rifle's muzzle is threaded with 5/8x24” threads and is paired with an Omni Muzzle Brake to reduce felt recoil. Overall, the Bergara Premier Series MG Lite offers a comprehensive set of features tailored for precision shooting in a lightweight and maneuverable package.
