In early 2024 Bergara released a Premier series rifle mounted in a XLR Atom chassis called the MG Micro Lite. It Is offered in a choice of 308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 6.5 PRC. The barrel is an 18" Bergara made carbon Cure and it's threaded into one of their Premier actions. Bergara MG Micro Lite

I was sent a test rifle this fall to use and evaluate for a forthcoming review. I'm new to the world of folding chassis rifles and am curious how it will fit into my style of hunting; backpacking in steep, heavily timbered mountains. The folding aspect is a feature I'm really interested in and will report back with my thoughts.

To get comfortable with the rifle I decided to take it to the prairie and work out any kinks in my handling of the rifle. It performed quite well and I think it could be a great rifle for my upcoming mountain hunts.

At this point in the evaluation I have used it a little at the range prior to the antelope season and have been in the mountains a few days. I'll report back with any issues and updates as the season progresses and will have a full written review after the Montana season has ended. If there are any questions please ask them here.

What caliber is your test model?

Thanks for asking what I should have had in the original post!

The rifle I’m testing is chambered in a 6.5 PRC. I’ve been shooting Hornady factory 143 ELD-X out of it. Velocity has been an average of 2715 fps. I’m happy with that.
