The Bergara Sierra Wilderness is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC with a 20-inch barrel and Wilderness Camo finish. At 7.2 lbs it's manageable for field carry, and the 6.5 PRC cartridge gives a flat trajectory and good retained energy at distance.

Features 

 
The No. 5 profile barrel has a 1-in-8" twist rate, which handles the longer, heavier 6.5 PRC projectiles well. The integrated OMNI muzzle brake cuts felt recoil noticeably, which matters on follow-up shots and extended range sessions. 
 
The trigger is adjustable, letting you dial in pull weight to preference rather than accepting a factory-fixed setting. Two-position thumb safety covers the bolt and trigger. 
 

Use Cases 

• Large game hunting: The 6.5 PRC's downrange energy and the 20-inch barrel's velocity make this a capable elk and deer cartridge out to practical hunting distances. 
• Long-range target work: Tight tolerances and an adjustable trigger support precision shooting at extended distances. 
• Backcountry carry: 7.2 lbs is reasonable for a rifle in this caliber when carrying across terrain.

Bergara Sierra Wilderness owners in 6.5 PRC are generally satisfied, with accuracy being the most consistent point of praise.

Shooters report tight groups at longer distances, which is the primary draw of the 6.5 PRC chambering. The bolt cycles smoothly, and the trigger is crisp out of the box — adjustability means most users find a pull weight they like without aftermarket work.

The Wilderness Camo finish and lightweight build get positive mention from hunters who carry the rifle. At 7.2 lbs unscoped, it's light enough for all-day carries without being flimsy.

Price is the main point of friction. Some buyers think the cost is high relative to other bolt-actions in the class; others consider it reasonable for the fit, finish, and accuracy Bergara delivers. Ammunition availability for 6.5 PRC is mentioned as a consideration — it's not as common as 6.5 Creedmoor on store shelves. A few users note that holster and accessory options are more limited given the rifle's specific dimensions.
