Bergara Divide 22 Creedmoor 20" 5rd Patriot Brown Erosion Camo Rifle

This Bergara Premier Divide in 22 Creedmoor is the lighter answer for shooters who like the HMR but want a rifle that is easier to pack into the backcountry. It carries a 20 inch CURE carbon barrel with a threaded muzzle. The CURE design wraps the barrel in carbon and laces stainless strands through the weave to draw heat away during a string of shots. The complete rifle weighs 7 pounds, wears a Patriot Brown Cerakote finish and runs 5 round AICS pattern detachable magazines.

AG Composites builds the Chalk Branch stock from 100 percent carbon fiber. Its lines follow the HMR stock, it has an adjustable cheek riser, and it is covered in Erosion Rogue camo. Bergara's Premier action is a two lug design whose bolt head floats separately from the body, letting both lugs seat against their abutments. The bolt nose is cone shaped for smooth feeding, and the extractor is a spring loaded sliding plate set into the front of the lower lug. The bolt body is a single piece of stainless steel, its handle screws into a pad at the rear, and the bolt head, non rotating gas shield and shroud are all nitrided. Remington 700 pattern scope bases with 8x40 screws fit the receiver.
