Bergara B-14 Stoke Compact .350 Legend 16.5 in Threaded

The Bergara B-14 Stoke Compact chambered in .350 Legend with a 16.5-inch threaded barrel is a purpose-built bolt-action rifle for the shooter who demands full-size performance in a compact, accessible package. Engineered by Bergara—a name synonymous with precision barrel-making since the 1970s—this rifle delivers the accuracy and reliability that have made Bergara a trusted supplier to custom gunsmiths and law enforcement marksmen alike. The Stoke Compact reduces length of pull without compromising the solid action you expect from a Bergara, making it an ideal choice for smaller-statured hunters, youth shooters, or anyone who appreciates a nimble rifle that handles like an extension of the body.

Key Features

• Compact Sporter Stock with Adjustable Length of Pull: The synthetic stock comes with spacers to achieve a 12.25-inch length of pull, allowing the shooter to customize fit for consistent cheek weld and recoil management. Why it matters: A proper fit means faster target acquisition and less fatigue during long days in the field.
• No. 4.5 Taper Barrel in 4140 CrMo Steel: This medium-contour barrel offers a balance of rigidity and weight, threaded 5/8×24 for suppressor or muzzle device attachment. Why it matters: The 4140 steel and taper profile provide the stiffness needed for sub-MOA accuracy while keeping the rifle light enough for carry.
• Graphite Black Cerakote Finish: Applied to all metal surfaces, this ceramic-based coating resists corrosion, wear, and harsh weather. Why it matters: Cerakote is a proven barrier against the elements, ensuring the rifle maintains its integrity through wet hunts or dusty range sessions.
• Raised Negative Comb: The stock features a raised comb that aligns the shooter’s eye naturally with a scope or iron sights. Why it matters: This design reduces the need for high rings or cheek risers, simplifying setup and improving consistency in shooting position.
• Bergara B-14 Action: A smooth, two-lug bolt with a 70-degree throw and controlled-round feed, built on Bergara’s proprietary action that has been field-proven for decades. Why it matters: The action is the heart of any bolt gun, and Bergara’s reputation for tight tolerances and reliable extraction is well earned.

Who It’s For

The Bergara B-14 Stoke Compact .350 Legend is designed for the hunter or recreational shooter who needs a rifle that fits without compromise. This includes smaller-statured adults, younger shooters transitioning from rimfire to centerfire, and anyone who prefers a shorter length of pull for better control in tight quarters—like treestands or ground blinds. The .350 Legend chambering makes it a straight-wall cartridge option for states with specific hunting regulations, and the compact build ensures easy maneuvering in dense cover. Collectors and history buffs will appreciate Bergara’s lineage as a maker of premium barrels, tracing back to the original Bergara barrels used in European match rifles.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Accurate out of the box, thanks to Bergara’s cold-hammer-forged barrel process; adjustable length of pull accommodates various body types; threaded barrel adds versatility for suppressors or brakes; Cerakote finish protects against rust and wear; lightweight at under 7 pounds for easy carry.

Cons: The synthetic stock, while durable, lacks the warmth and aesthetic appeal of traditional walnut; the compact design may feel cramped for larger shooters even with spacers; the .350 Legend cartridge, while effective at 250 yards, is limited in long-range applications compared to .308 Win or 6.5 Creedmoor.

Comparison

Compared to the Ruger American Ranch, the Bergara offers a smoother action and superior barrel quality, justifying the higher price for shooters who prioritize accuracy. The Savage Axis II is a budget-friendly option but lacks the adjustable comb and Cerakote finish of the Bergara. For the shooter who wants a rifle that will hold its value and deliver consistent performance, the B-14 Stoke Compact is a clear step up.
