Barrel specialist Bergara continues making waves in the bolt-action rifle market. For 2026, they’re throwing down one centerfire rifle likely favored by more traditional hunters, while the ultralight crowd will want to get a look at what might be Bergara’s hottest option yet. Here’s a glimpse of what we found at Bergara’s SHOT Show booth.
Cima Pro Premier Series
Saying this new Cima Pro is one of Bergara’s finest seems an understatement. This lightweight hunting rifle is just 5.7 pounds, with its CURE carbon-fiber barrel and Autoclave Cured Carbon Fiber stock. It’s built around the company’s stainless-steel Premier bolt action and skeletonized for weight savings.
A premium TriggerTech trigger remains for a crisp pull and serious accuracy, while a Stainless Steel Cerakote finish protects the metalwork. Like all Bergara Premier rifles, it uses a Remington 700 pattern scope base with 8x40 screws. Calibers include .22 Creed, .25 Creed, .308 Win, 6.5 Creed, 6.5 PRC, .300 Win Mag, 7mm Rem Mag, 7mm PRC, and .300 PRC. A sub-MOA guarantee comes standard, and MSRP is $3,099.
B-14 Squared Cima CF
The related Cima CF bolt action offers hunters the balance and feel of a more classic sporter-style rifle with significantly reduced weight. This one is just 5.8 pounds, the lightest in the B-14 family. The stock uses resin transfer molding, meaning it’s a 100-percent carbon fiber build that tips the scale at only 18 ounces.
An SMC carbon mini chassis is fitted to the action with a bedding platform. A Bergara CURE carbon barrel, threaded and tipped with an Omni muzzle brake, rounds out the package. The Cima CF bears a sub-MOA guarantee, and MSRP is $1,849.
Platinum Stalker
The Platinum Stalker is one for hunters who prefer something more substantial than the ultralight carbon types. Joining Bergara’s Premier Series of bolt actions, the Platinum wears a pepper-colored laminate wood stock with a Monte Carlo buttstock. There’s a Cerakote stainless-steel action, TriggerTech trigger, and M5 bottom metal that converts to AICS compatibility.
A No. 4.5 tapered barrel is fluted, threaded at 5/8x24, and fitted with an Omni muzzle brake. The Platinum Stalker weighs 6.7 pounds and carries a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, with MSRP at $1,749. Calibers include .25 Creed, 6.5 Creed, .308 Win, 6.5 PRC, .270 Win, 7mm Rem Mag, .30-06 Springfield, .300 Win Mag, 7mm PRC, .300 PRC, and .375 H&H Mag.
Additional Chamberings
Though this news pales in comparison to the centerfire rifle releases, it’s worth noting that Bergara is working to add a couple of zippy young chamberings to its existing product families.
Fans of the .22 Creedmoor and .25 Creedmoor will be tickled to see those rounds finding a home on Bergara’s B-14 and Premier platforms, and it’s expected that barreled actions will be shipping later this year as well.
