In a recent interview with Chad Schearer of Bergara Rifles, we had the chance to talk all things shooting sports, hunting, and the brand’s impressive presence at the Long Shot Tour in Dallas. Chad, a longtime ambassador for Bergara, brought his trademark energy and insight as he discussed the excitement surrounding the tour and what it means to engage directly with the shooting community. The Dallas event was just one stop on a tour that continues to connect Bergara with passionate marksmen and hunters who value precision, performance, and reliability.

Chad spoke proudly about his 28-year relationship with the Bergara brand — a rare level of loyalty in any industry. That kind of long-term partnership speaks volumes about the trust he places in Bergara's rifles and the company’s commitment to quality. Over the years, Chad has played an integral role in helping to shape the brand’s direction and product offerings, providing valuable field feedback and serving as a trusted voice for both seasoned shooters and newcomers to the sport.

Of course, we couldn’t wrap up the conversation without talking favorite calibers. Chad shared that while he has a number of rifles he enjoys shooting, his go-to caliber remains the versatile and ever-reliable6.5 Creedmoor. It’s a round that gets the job done whether he’s hunting elk out West or shooting long range with confidence.
