Bergara Carbon Barrels

[KSTiger]

Looks like Bergara will be releasing carbon barrels this year. I won’t when they will put them on factory rifles and in which models.

CURE Carbon Barrels - Bergara USA

The experts at Bergara have found the cure to the carbon barrel problem. There’s no longer a need to compromise performance for weight. Bergara has solved the issues of getting steel and carbon working together, both mechanically and thermodynamically, by introducing CURE® Carbon Barrels.

All that magnesium and carbon fiber and they can still barely get their guns under 7 pounds. If they put the guns they advertise as mountain rifles on a major diet I'd probably actually buy one.

Anyone know if the mglite is available in left hand?

$3300 MSRP seems pretty steep imo. Competing with custom builds at that point.

That does seem steep. You could do a savage ultra lite in an xlr chassis for much less. But, this is all
Put together for you. I’m assuming street price will be less than what they have listed?

There is this option also.

I watched the video on the MG lite. Looked great, but pricing put it in custom range. I haven’t seen any Bergara premium rifles so maybe they are worth the price. I feel like I could get a rifle from Mesa Precision or GAP for around the same price though.

Most custom rifles with the Element 4.0 MG are going to be in that 4500 to 5k range. I am sure you could piece one together for a little cheaper than that but these are still a great off-the-shelf option for guys! Don't have to wait for gunsmiths either.

Im not trashing your chassis at all. I'm a happy owner of a Element 3.0. I wasn't aware of the big price difference between the regular and the magnesium. Worth every penny if it works for you.

Street price will be quite a bit lower I am guessing. Euro Optic has them listed at $3K. You would have a tough time building a custom for anywhere near that price with the same type components.

Oh no I just wanted to make sure everyone was aware of the price difference between the two because it is a pretty big jump on the price!

Their premier mountain 2.0 weighs 6.2-6.4lbs

How much less do you want it to weigh?

Tikka or blueprinted 700 - $650ish
CF stock - $650ish.
Carbon blank or prefit - $550-750.
Gunsmith labor - $275 (+$180 for thread, protector, brake)
Total - $2,125-2,500.

Not really..

Where do I get a carbon blank for that price?

**same type components

If you are going to be fair, compare apples to apples.

Carbon six or preferred for about $800, maybe $700 on sale.

Same thing I’m thinking.

Also, don’t forget a trigger if you go with the 700.

Also, who only charges $275 to chamber the barrel and put it all together? Are they gonna bed it too? That’ll be extra.

I’m thinking a full build will run you closer to $3k if not $3500 when it’s all said and done.

Also, that build will still be in that 7lb ballpark unless you decide to jump to a custom action.

The bergara action is a 700 action, and I wouldn't compare it to one of the high end $1k plus actions.
