Lawrenceville, GA – Bergara has officially begun shipping its hot new HMR Pro Rifle to the trade.  After the company introducing the new model at the 2018 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, customers and dealers have been anxiously awaiting their arrival.  Nate Treadaway, CEO of BPI Outdoors stated, “In my 19 years of working in the industry, I have never been questioned so frequently about the arrival date of a new product, and I absolutely love seeing that enthusiasm!”   Treadaway continues, “I believe that the rifle fills a much needed niche for high-performance at a reasonable price point and the initial excitement certainly seems to substantiate this.”

The new Premier Series HMR Pro is essentially an upgraded “pro level” version of the B-14 Series HMR. Both rifles share the same injection molded, internal aluminum chassis stock, giving them a similar look and functional appeal, but that’s really where the similarities end, as the Premier HMR Pro has the many Premier Series component upgrades that the B-14 Series HMR doesn’t offer.

These upgrades include our new stainless steel Bergara Premier Action, matched with a 416 stainless steel Bergara Barrel, both hand painted in Cerakote™ for extra protection. Our action incorporates a floating bolt head design, as well as a quick detach firing pin access, allowing the shooter to pull the entire firing pin mechanism with only a 1?4 turn. It accepts Remington 700 compatible bases using 8×40 screws. Standard AICS Magazines are also compatible. Also standard is a TriggerTech™ trigger, featuring Frictionless Release Technology™.

Bentonville, AR— Last year, Hatsan introduced the world’s first 14-shot under-lever with the release of its Proxima. But 2018 will usher in something else to the Hatsan line-up – a repeating break barrel duly named SpeedFire.

The SpeedFire is unique to Hatsan’s catalog with its multi-shot magazine and automatic loading mechanism.  With just a single motion, Hatsan’s EZ-Load Action System quickly cocks and loads the gun for up to 12 shots of rapid-fire. For those that prefer open sights, the magazine housing doubles as an adjustable rear sight, and the front sight folds up from its protected storage position – each equipped with TruGlo fibers.

The SpeedFire’s new lightweight barrel is completely shrouded, with an integrated sound moderator for downrange noise reduction. It also features an optics riser rail for both Picatinny and 11mm dovetail mount compatibility, with ample room to put your scope right where you want it. With just the push of a button, the Rapid Performance Mag (RPM) magazine’s spring-loaded receptacle pushes it up out of place, making it easy to remove and exchange with the next full magazine.  Equipped with Hatsan’s signature SAS (Shock Absorber System) and Quattro 2-stage adjustable trigger, it will be hard to beat at an MSRP of $199.99.
