Hello,

I have a question regarding the Bergara Stainless Extreme Hunter Rifle .308 18" Cerakote, that has been recently released onto the NZ market.

I'm not sure if its me but there appears to be conflicting/confusing information with regard to the action and barrel materials on various websites and in publications. In short can you confirm the bolt/action and barrel are either
a. stainless steel with cerakote
or
b. 4140 CrMo steel with cerakote?

The following is a sample of the conflicting information out there regarding the the Bergara Stainless Extreme Hunter Rifle .308 18" Cerakote...

The Hunting and Fishing 2019 spring catalogue states stainless cerakote barrel and action while their website just states stainless steel with cerakote, not defining what components this applies too...
https://www.huntingandfishing.co.nz/...rifle-308.html

...the Reloader and Guncity sites state the barrel is constructed of 4140 CrMo steel and finished with cerakote...
https://www.reloaders.co.nz/shop/Fir...+Cerekote.html
https://www.guncity.com/308-bergara-...-finish-357147

...with the Broncos Outdoors site does not providing any bolt or barrel information, other than the rifle is cerakoted...
https://broncos.co.nz/hunting/firear...eme-hunter-308

...and the Rod and Rifle 29 August 2019 article says the bolt and action are both stainless steel and cerakote...

I look forward to your reply.
