Description
The Bergara Stoke Compact 308 Win is a compact bolt-action rifle chambered in .308 Winchester and built from the ground up for smaller-framed shooters. This configuration (Bergara model B14S901, UPC 043125017393) pairs a 20-inch threaded barrel with a sporter-style synthetic stock, a 12.25-inch length of pull and a hinged floorplate, and it weighs about 6.2 pounds.
Bergara Stoke Compact 308 Win Overview
Plenty of youth rifles simply chop an inch off the stock. Bergara went much further with the Stoke, shortening the fore-end, refining the grip and adding a raised comb with a negative angle that pulls the stock away from your cheek under recoil. The Bergara Stoke Compact 308 Win balances naturally for teens, women and anyone with a shorter reach, and it carries Bergara’s sub-MOA accuracy guarantee with quality factory ammunition.
Compact Stock With 12.25-Inch Length of Pull
A 12.25-inch length of pull is one of the shortest in the centerfire bolt-action market. Quarter-inch spacers are included, so the rifle can grow with a young hunter for years instead of being outgrown in a season or two. The raised comb lines your eye up with the scope without craning your neck, and the gray speckled finish gives a secure grip in rain and cold.
Threaded Barrel and Smooth B-14 Action
The Graphite Black Cerakote barrel is 4140 chrome-moly steel in a No. 4.5 taper, threaded 5/8×24 for a muzzle brake or suppressor, with a 1:10 twist. The B-14 action runs a two-lug bolt with a sliding extractor and a coned bolt nose for smooth feeding, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for standard short-action scope bases.
The Proven .308 Winchester
The .308 Winchester is accurate, efficient and stocked almost everywhere, and it cleanly takes deer, black bear and hogs at normal hunting ranges. Recoil is moderate, especially from reduced-recoil loads that many makers offer, which helps new shooters build confidence. The 1:10 twist stabilizes the full range of common 150 to 180 grain hunting bullets.
Tips for New Shooters
Start at the bench with a solid rest and a light, accurate load, then move to sitting and kneeling positions once the basics feel natural. Hearing and eye protection make a big difference in how much a new shooter enjoys practice. A quality 3-9x or 2-7x scope with good eye relief and a comfortable sling round out a great first hunting setup.
