BERGARA B-16 STALKER is a bolt-action platform built for long-range duties in a package that emphasizes accuracy and modern materials. The rifle ships in .300 Win Mag with a 24″ barrel, a carbon fiber stock option, and a 3-round magazine capacity — specifications that target hunters and precision shooters who need hard-hitting ballistics and a stable shooting platform. Below the surface this is a Bergara Premier Series design, representing the brand’s focus on barreling and harmonics control.

Design and build quality

The B-16 Stalker’s 24″ barrel length is tuned for the .300 Winchester Magnum cartridge, giving shooters optimized muzzle velocity and flatter trajectories for long-range engagements. The carbon fiber stock reduces overall weight while maintaining rigidity, improving how the rifle tracks and returns to point of aim. As a Bolt Action category rifle, the action geometry and bolt throw are refined for smooth cycling and consistent lock-up. At a street price of $1,999.99, it positions itself as a premium, purpose-built tool for serious users.

Ballistics and intended applications

.300 Win Mag remains a go-to choice for long-range big-game hunting and precision work where retained energy at distance matters. The 24″ barrel paired with that caliber improves potential velocity over shorter tubes, which helps with wind drift and terminal performance. The 3-round capacity favors hunting legalities and a compact magazine footprint for prone or bipod work. This combination makes the rifle useful for mountain hunts, plains work, or precision practice where one-shot precision is prioritized.

Setup tips for accuracy

Use a quality, zeroed optic rated for the distances you plan to engage, set the action up with a torque-specified scope mount, and test ammo types to find the best match for the barrel’s throat. A 24″ barrel in .300 Win Mag rewards careful load selection; start with factory hunting or match-grade loads and work up from there. Consider a muzzle brake or suppressor-compatible thread to manage recoil and follow-up visibility during extended sessions.
