Specs at a glance
About this product
The BERGARA HMR PRO 6.5CR GRAY 24" HB TB is a factory-built precision rifle that skips the custom-gunsmith wait. It takes the proven HMR stock, adds a heavier-contour barrel, and gives you a threaded, fluted barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor. This is a ready-to-shoot rig for steel, paper, or hunting out past 800 yards — no upgrades needed out of the box.

Key Features
- #5 Contour, Fluted, Threaded Barrel — The 24-inch heavy barrel keeps groups tight even after a long string of fire. The 5/8x24 threading means you can mount a suppressor or brake without an adapter. Why it matters: You get match-grade accuracy with suppressor-ready convenience.
- Bergara Premium Trigger — Adjustable from 1.5 to 3.5 pounds, it breaks clean with zero creep. Why it matters: A crisp trigger makes it easier to shoot tight groups without pulling the shot.
- Mini-Chassis Stock — The HMR Pro uses an internal aluminum chassis bedded into a synthetic stock. Why it matters: You get the rigidity of a chassis system with the comfort of a traditional stock, plus a full-length bedding block for consistent accuracy.
- Detachable Box Magazine — Takes standard AICS-pattern magazines, giving you reliable feeding and quick reloads. Why it matters: No proprietary mags to hunt down — you can use any quality AICS magazine you already own.
- Spiral Fluted Bolt — The bolt is fluted for smoother cycling and a slight weight reduction. Why it matters: Faster bolt manipulation means quicker follow-up shots in the field or on the clock.
Who It's For
This Bergara HMR Pro is for the shooter who wants a long-range rifle that's ready to compete or hunt without spending $3,000-plus on a custom build. It fits the hunter who needs a sub-MOA rifle that can handle mountain hunts, and the range shooter who wants a consistent platform for dialing wind and elevation.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Factory sub-MOA guarantee — Bergara test-fires every HMR Pro and includes a target in the box.
- Pro: Threaded, fluted barrel saves weight and lets you run a suppressor.
- Con: At 9.8 pounds unloaded, it's not a lightweight backpacking rifle. If you're humping miles in steep country, you'll feel it by the end of the day.
- Pro: The adjustable trigger is one of the best factory triggers on the market.
- Con: The stock is not adjustable for length of pull or cheek height — you may need an aftermarket cheek riser for a perfect cheek weld.
