The Bergara Highlander 6.5 Creedmoor 24in Fluted Omni Brake is a production-ready precision rifle that punches well above its price point. Built on the Premier action with a nitrided one-piece bolt and separate floating bolt head, this rig delivers sub-MOA consistency straight from the box. The 24-inch fluted barrel wears a sniper gray Cerakote finish and Bergara’s Omni muzzle brake, while the Grayboe-pattern digital camo stock and TriggerTech trigger round out a package that’s ready for steel, paper, or competition.

Key Features
- Bergara Premier Action – Why it matters: The one-piece stainless steel bolt with nitrided surface reduces friction and resists corrosion, while the separate floating bolt head ensures consistent primer strike and reliable extraction over thousands of rounds.
- 24-Inch Fluted Barrel with Omni Brake – Why it matters: Fluting sheds weight and aids cooling; the Omni muzzle brake cuts recoil by an estimated 40%, letting you spot impacts through the scope without losing sight picture.
- TriggerTech Trigger – Why it matters: Adjustable from 1.5 to 4 lbs with zero creep, this trigger breaks like a glass rod, giving you the precision needed for consistent 1,000-yard hits.
- Grayboe-Pattern Digital Camouflage Stock – Why it matters: The ergonomic stock features an adjustable cheek riser and length of pull, plus a molded-in bedding block that maintains action-to-stock alignment under temperature swings.
- Sniper Gray Cerakote Finish – Why it matters: Cerakote protects against moisture, solvents, and field abuse, keeping the rifle’s finish intact even after heavy use in wet or dusty conditions.
Who It’s For
The Highlander is built for the shooter who wants a factory rifle that performs like a custom build. It’s aimed at long-range competitors, hunters who engage past 400 yards, and precision enthusiasts who demand sub-MOA accuracy without the wait time of a full custom action. If you’re upgrading from a budget bolt gun or building your first dedicated long-range rig, this Bergara delivers performance that matches rifles costing twice as much.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box – consistent .5 to .8 MOA with match ammunition.
- Pro: Omni brake is effective and doesn’t require tools to install or remove.
- Pro: TriggerTech trigger is among the best factory triggers available.
- Con: The Grayboe stock, while functional, lacks the full adjustability of a chassis system (e.g., no adjustable comb height on standard models).

FAQ
Does the Bergara Highlander come with a scope base or rings?
No. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700 footprint scope bases (e.g., 0 MOA or 20 MOA rails). You’ll need to purchase bases and rings separately.
What is the barrel twist rate on the Bergara Highlander 6.5 Creedmoor?
Per Bergara specs, the 24-inch fluted barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, which stabilizes 120-147 grain bullets commonly used in 6.5 Creedmoor.
Is the Omni muzzle brake removable?
Yes. The Omni brake is threaded onto the barrel (5/8×24 thread pattern) and can be removed or replaced with a suppressor or thread protector. It uses a crush washer for timing.
Can I use this rifle for hunting?
Absolutely. At 8.4 lbs and with the Grayboe camo stock, the Highlander is light enough for backcountry hunting yet accurate enough for shots out to 600+ yards. The Omni brake also reduces felt recoil for faster follow-ups.
What magazines are compatible with the Bergara Highlander?
The Highlander uses AICS-pattern magazines (e.g., Accurate-Mag, Magpul PMAG 5 AC). It ships with a 5-round AICS magazine.
