Description
The Bergara B-14 Stoke Compact .308 Win 20in delivers a competition-ready, accurate platform for smaller-statured shooters who refuse to compromise on precision. Built on Bergara’s proven B-14 action, this rifle pairs a 20-inch No. 4.5 tapered, threaded barrel with a sporter-style synthetic stock finished in Graphite Black Cerakote. The compact length of pull and negative comb angle improve eye alignment and reduce perceived recoil, letting you stay on target faster. At $899.99, it’s a serious value for any shooter who needs a reliable, accurate rifle that fits right out of the box.

Key Features
- Compact Length of Pull (12.5″) — WHY IT MATTERS: This shorter LOP eliminates the need to hunch or stretch, keeping your natural point of aim consistent and reducing fatigue during long matches or range sessions.
- Negative Comb Angle — WHY IT MATTERS: The downward-sloping comb aligns your eye perfectly with the scope without cranking your neck, cutting down on parallax errors and improving shot-to-shot consistency.
- 20″ No. 4.5 Tapered Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: The heavier taper provides stiffness for accuracy while keeping weight manageable; plus, the 5/8×24 threaded muzzle accepts brakes or suppressors to tame recoil even more.
- B-14 Action with Two-Lug Bolt — WHY IT MATTERS: Bergara’s smooth, controlled-round-feed action cycles fast and reliably, critical for quick follow-up shots in competition or hunting scenarios.
- Graphite Black Cerakote Finish — WHY IT MATTERS: This ceramic coating resists corrosion, scratches, and carbon buildup, so the rifle stays functional and looking sharp through thousands of rounds and harsh weather.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for smaller-statured shooters—women, juniors, or anyone with a shorter reach—who demand precision without fighting an ill-fitting stock. It’s also ideal for competition shooters who want a lightweight, accurate .308 for PRS tactical divisions or NRA High Power. Hunters who stalk in tight cover will appreciate the 20-inch barrel’s maneuverability.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Out-of-the-box accuracy—Bergara’s barrel lapping process delivers sub-MOA groups with quality ammo.
- Pro: Threaded muzzle opens up suppressor or brake options for recoil management.
- Pro: Drilled and tapped receiver simplifies optics mounting.
- Con: The synthetic stock lacks adjustable cheek riser or length-of-pull spacers—customization requires aftermarket parts.
