The Bergara Premier MG Lite is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC, built around a carbon fiber barrel and an XLR Element folding chassis. At 6.7 lbs. it's genuinely light for a precision platform in this caliber, which matters over a full day of carrying in the backcountry.

Features 

The 22-inch CURE carbon fiber barrel cuts weight and dissipates heat faster than a steel barrel, which helps keep groups tight during extended range sessions. An Omni muzzle brake is fitted from the factory, noticeably reducing felt recoil for a 6.5 PRC. The TriggerTech trigger has a clean break with minimal creep, and pull weight is user-adjustable. The XLR Element folding chassis collapses for transport and gives you a solid, repeatable cheek weld when deployed. The receiver is drilled and tapped; no iron sights are included.

Shooters who own the MG Lite in 6.5 PRC generally focus on two things: how well it shoots and how little it weighs. Groups at the range are consistently tight, and the bolt cycles cleanly. The FDE finish reads as practical rather than flashy, and it fits naturally in the field.

The price is the most common friction point. It sits higher than many competitors, and a few owners feel that aftermarket support and accessories specifically for this chassis are limited compared to more popular platforms. Those who commit to it tend to be satisfied with the accuracy and weight savings, accepting the cost as the tradeoff for the carbon fiber and chassis combination.
