BERGARA CREST 300PRC 22″ GRAY OMNI

If you are looking for a factory long-range rifle that shoots like a custom build, the bergara crest 300prc 22″ gray omni is your next rifle. Bergara built this bolt action around the 300 PRC cartridge, and the 22-inch barrel with a Gray Omni finish keeps it both handy and accurate. You get Bergara’s cold hammer-forged barrel, a smooth two-lug action, and a chassis that feels solid without being too heavy.

Key Features

• Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel – Why it matters: Bergara’s barrels are known for sub-MOA accuracy right out of the box. The 22-inch length balances velocity with maneuverability for hunting or steel.
• Gray Omni Finish – Why it matters: This is a durable, low-glare coating that resists rust and scuffs. It looks good in the field or at the range without screaming for attention.
• Adjustable Trigger – Why it matters: You can set the pull weight from 2.5 to 3.5 pounds without a gunsmith. That lets you dial in a crisp break for precision work.
• AICS Magazine Compatibility – Why it matters: No proprietary mags. You can use standard AICS pattern magazines, which are easy to find and affordable.
• Carbon Fiber Stock – Why it matters: Keeps the rifle light at 7.2 pounds while still being rigid. You can carry it all day on a hunt without feeling it.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the shooter who wants to reach out to 1000 yards or more with factory ammo. It fits hunters who need a lightweight rifle that still shoots flat, and for target shooters who want a ready-to-go rig without building one from scratch. New shooters will appreciate the easy bolt lift and adjustable trigger, while experienced hands will like the accuracy potential.

Pros and Cons

• Pros: Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, light weight for a 300 PRC, smooth action, AICS magazine compatibility, adjustable trigger.
• Cons: The 300 PRC ammo is still a bit pricier and less common than 308 or 6.5 Creedmoor. You will want to stock up when you find a deal.
