Bergara B-14 Series Stoke, Bolt Action Rifle, 308 Winchester, 20″ Barrel, Cerakote Finish, Black, 4 Rounds

Product Description

The Bergara B-14 Stoke Compact .308 Win is engineered for shooters who’ve never fit a rifle designed for their frame. With a 12.25-inch length of pull—the shortest in a bolt-action centerfire rifle—a negative comb angle that reduces recoil impact, and Bergara’s sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, this is the rifle that finally fits. At 20 inches with a threaded 5/8×24 muzzle, it’s compact enough for suppressor duty and nimble enough for home defense, all while delivering the precision you expect from a sub-MOA certified bolt-action.

Specifications

What Makes the B-14 Stoke Compact Different

• 12.25-inch length of pull: The shortest LOP in a production bolt-action centerfire rifle, purpose-built for smaller-statured shooters—youth hunters, women, and anyone who’s been forced to make a rifle work that wasn’t designed for their frame.
• Negative comb angle: Raises your eye naturally for scope alignment and physically reduces recoil impact on the face—a feature absent from standard adult rifles.
• Grow-with-the-shooter design: Four included 1/4-inch LOP spacers allow you to extend the rifle as the shooter matures from youth to adult dimensions, protecting your investment.
• Remington 700 compatibility: The B-14 action uses the largest aftermarket ecosystem in bolt-action history. Drop it into any Rem 700 stock, chassis, or scope mount. This future-proofs your rifle for customization and upgrades.
• Threaded 5/8×24 barrel: Ready for suppressor use without additional work—a practical feature for home defense, training, and hearing protection.
• Crisp, tunable trigger: The Bergara Performance Trigger ships at 3–3.5 lbs and adjusts from 2 to 4 lbs with an Allen key—no gunsmith required. Reviewers consistently compare it to premium aftermarket triggers at a fraction of the cost.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara barrels are forged in Spain’s historic gunmaking region and refined through a five-step precision process: straightening, deep-hole drilling, three-spindle diamond honing to a mirror finish, button rifling with carbide buttons held to less than .0002″ groove diameter deviation, and high-temperature stress relieving. This methodology—decades in the making—produces barrels with the consistency and accuracy traditionally found only in hand-lapped customs. Every B-14 Stoke ships with Bergara’s sub-MOA guarantee: your rifle will print groups under 1 inch at 100 yards with quality factory ammunition straight from the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 20-inch .308 suitable for suppressor use?

Yes. The 20-inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24 and already optimized for short suppressor profiles. The .308 Win will cycle reliably with most suppressors, though subsonic ammunition will reduce velocity and shift your zero slightly. Many shooters pair this rifle with a quality suppressor for hearing protection during training and home defense scenarios.

What’s the difference between the 20-inch standard and the 16.5-inch Special Purpose variant?

The 20-inch .308 Win is the standard compact rifle. Bergara also offers Special Purpose variants in .223 Remington, .300 Blackout, and .350 Legend with 16.5-inch barrels and AICS-pattern detachable magazines—purpose-built for tactical and suppressor applications. The .308 Win chambering with 4-round internal magazine is ideal for hunting and home defense where compact form factor and proven ballistics matter most.

Can I upgrade the trigger or add a different stock?

Absolutely. The B-14 action uses a Remington 700 footprint, which means it accepts any Rem 700 compatible trigger, stock, chassis, or scope mount. The included Bergara Performance Trigger is excellent and fully adjustable, but if you prefer a different trigger—a 2-stage competition trigger, for example—the ecosystem is open. Similarly, you can swap the stock for a chassis, a thumbhole design, or a chassis system for precision shooting without losing any functionality.

What makes the 12.25-inch length of pull different from a standard youth rifle?

Most youth rifles sacrifice accuracy and durability to fit smaller frames. The B-14 Stoke was designed from the ground up with a 12.25″ LOP—the shortest in a production bolt-action centerfire—while maintaining full-size action strength and Bergara’s precision barrel. The negative comb angle is equally important: it raises your eye naturally for scope alignment and reduces recoil impact on your face. Combined with included LOP spacers, this rifle bridges youth and adult dimensions, so it grows with the shooter and doesn’t become obsolete.

Does the sub-MOA guarantee cover any ammunition, or only specific brands?

Bergara’s sub-MOA guarantee assumes quality factory ammunition—typically match-grade or premium hunting loads from established manufacturers (Federal Premium, Hornady, Winchester, Remington, etc.). The guarantee reflects the rifle’s mechanical capability, not the ammunition’s performance. Reloads, surplus, or budget ammunition may not print sub-MOA groups due to powder, bullet, or brass quality rather than the rifle’s precision.

Is this rifle right for home defense?

Yes, with caveats. The 20-inch .308 Win is compact, accurate, and suppressor-ready, making it practical for home defense scenarios. However, .308 Win penetrates heavily through drywall and requires careful placement in confined spaces. Many home defense specialists prefer .223 Rem or .300 Blackout for reduced over-penetration and lighter recoil in tight quarters. If you’re committed to .308 for its power and range, this rifle delivers accuracy and handling that make precision placement achievable.
