Bergara HMR Pro Rifle: a Serious Long Range Weapon

The Bergara HMR Pro is a serious long range rifle. Developed in partnership with GA Precision, one of the most highly respected gunsmiths in the industry, the Bergara HMR Pro was designed to excel in all disciplines of long range shooting. The HMR Pro is part of the new line of Bergara rifles that have become popular for their combination of accuracy and affordability, which makes them a great choice for serious long range shooters.

When it comes to long range shooting, the number one goal is accuracy. To achieve accuracy, the rifle needs to have a good barrel and a quality trigger. The HMR Pro has a match-grade Bergara barrel which is made with high quality 4140 Chrome Moly Steel and has a 416R Stainless Steel baffle to ensure consistent performance shot-to-shot. The barrel is button-rifled and has a 1:10 twist rate, which is suitable for long range shooting with heavier grain bullets. The barrel is also finished with a nitride finish to give it additional corrosion resistance.

The two-stage Timney trigger is also a highlight of the HMR Pro. The trigger is adjustable, and offers a crisp and clean break with no creep or overtravel. This makes the HMR Pro one of the most accurate rifles on the market for long range shooting.

In addition to the barrel and trigger, the Bergara HMR Pro also includes a number of advanced features that make it a great long range weapon. The stock is adjustable allowing you to tailor the rifle to your shooting style and the recoil pad helps reduce felt recoil. The magazine release is also adjustable, allowing you to manage the rifle quickly and accurately. Finally, the rifle includes a Picatinny rail mounted on the receiver so that you can mount optics or other accessories easily and quickly.

The Bergara HMR Pro is an impressive long range weapon, and it lives up to its reputation. In terms of accuracy, I have found it to be a consistent shooter with little deviation shot-to-shot. The adjustable stock and adjustable trigger are great features that allow you to tailor the rifle to your needs and shooting style. The recoil pad and Picatinny rail are also welcome additions. All of these features combined make the Bergara HMR Pro a serious long range weapon that can deliver exceptional accuracy and reliability shot-to-shot.

Overall, I think that the Bergara HMR Pro is a great long range rifle.
