Precision, balance, and ergonomic fit matter as much as build quality when a shooter is selecting a compact bolt-action rifle. For smaller-statured shooters who need a purpose-built platform that reduces felt recoil while preserving accuracy, this rifle architecture delivers on both comfort and performance.

Design and Ergonomics

The BERGARA B-14 STOKE is engineered specifically for shooters who require a reduced length of pull without compromising stability. It features an industry-leading 12.25″ length of pull, achieved by shortening the forend, refining the grip, and incorporating a negative comb angle to reduce muzzle lift and felt recoil. The Black Webbed Tan fixed stock with soft-touch synthetic finish provides a confident hold and weather-resistant durability in field conditions.

Barrel, Receiver and Action

The barrel specification is 4140 CrMo steel No. 4.5 contour, 20″ taper, threaded 5/824, giving you a stout, accurate platform with the option to add muzzle devices. The steel receiver carries a Graphite Black Cerakote finish to resist corrosion and wear. As a bolt-action centerfire in the Bergara B-14 family, this Stoke combines proven action geometry with compact handling and a 4+1 magazine capacity for practical field use.

Why these features matter

The 4.5 contour barrel balances weight and heat dissipation for consistent groups during follow-up shots. Threading (5/824) allows mounting of brakes or suppressors to tune recoil impulse and report. The negative comb and shortened LOP work together to get the shooter’s eye naturally aligned with optics while minimizing perceived recoil, which is especially useful for smaller-built hunters and tactical users.

Caliber, Applications and Pricing

Chambered in 22-250 Rem, the Stoke offers flat trajectory and high velocity ideal for varmint hunting and precise longer-range shots on small to medium targets. The cartridge’s speed and minimal recoil match the Stoke’s ergonomic design for quick, accurate follow-ups. The listed price is $772.99, a competitive figure for a purpose-built compact bolt-action with Bergara-quality barrel work. View product details and pricing.
