The MgLite features an ultra-lightweight XLR Element magnesium chassis and our revolutionary CUREA(R) Carbon barrel. This combination creates a rifle that is both incredibly light and exceptionally accurate. CUREA(R) Carbon Barrel Technology: We've solved the common problem of inconsistent carbon barrels. Our proprietary, patent-pending CUREA(R) barrels are engineered to perfectly mate carbon and steel, managing heat for consistent performance shot after shot. A unique carbon weave with embedded stainless strands moves heat, ensuring an ultralight, stiff, and rugged barrel that delivers superior accuracy. XLR Element 4.0 Magnesium Chassis: Weighing in at just 28 ounces, this ultralight chassis is the first of its kind to weigh under 2 lbs. Designed specifically for the backcountry, it features a carbon fiber folding buttstock and grip, a built-in bubble level, and a machined-in RRS 1.5" dovetail (Arca-Swiss) for versatile mounting options. Smooth & Reliable Bolt System: The two-lug system with a floating bolt head ensures perfect contact for reliable performance. A cone-shaped bolt nose provides smooth feeding, while a spring-loaded extractor guarantees dependable cartridge extraction. The one-piece, stainless steel bolt body and Nitrided components offer extreme durability and a self-lubricating, smooth action. TriggerTech Trigger: In partnership with TriggerTech, we've integrated their patented Frictionless Release Technology. This advanced trigger eliminates creep and heavy pull weights, providing a crisp, clean break. You'll experience increased precision and safety with every shot, even in the most challenging conditions. The Bergara Premier Series MgLite sets a new standard for a packable, high-performance hunting rifle.
