Description
Most compact rifles are just full-size guns with an inch lopped off the stock. The Bergara B-14 Stoke Compact takes a different approach. Bergara redesigned the whole platform around a 12.25 inch length of pull, one of the shortest you'll find on a centerfire bolt gun, then shortened the forend, slimmed the grip for smaller hands, and raised the comb with a negative angle so the stock pulls away from your face under recoil instead of into it. For youth hunters, smaller-framed adults, or anyone who has spent years stretching to fit a rifle that was never built for them, the difference is noticeable the first time you shoulder it.
Real 6.5 PRC Performance in a Stoke-Sized Package
Chambering this rifle in 6.5 PRC was a smart move. You get flat trajectories and serious downrange energy for elk, mule deer, and open-country hunts, all from a rifle that measures 38.5 inches overall and weighs about 6.3 pounds. The 20 inch No. 4.5 contour barrel is 4140 chrome moly steel, finished in Graphite Black Cerakote and built with the same drilling, honing, and button rifling process that earned Bergara its reputation for sub-MOA accuracy. The muzzle comes threaded 5/8×24, so adding a brake or suppressor is simple, and a can is a great pairing here since it tames both noise and recoil for newer or smaller shooters.
The B-14 Action Behind the Stoke Compact
Under the hood you get Bergara's smooth two-lug B-14 action with a sliding plate extractor and coned bolt nose for reliable feeding and extraction, cycle after cycle. The adjustable Bergara Performance Trigger breaks clean out of the box, a two-position thumb safety keeps operation straightforward, and the hinged floorplate holds 3+1 of the big PRC cartridges with easy unloading at the end of the day. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, and the SoftTouch synthetic stock in black with tan webbing gives you a grippy, weatherproof hold. Bergara even includes quarter inch length of pull spacers, so the stock can grow along with a young hunter. It's a rifle built to fit right now and still fit five seasons from now.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the Bergara B-14 Stoke Compact designed for?
The Stoke was purpose-built for smaller-framed shooters, including youth hunters and adults who find standard rifles too long. The 12.25" length of pull is among the shortest on any centerfire bolt gun, and the shortened forend, slimmer grip, and raised negative comb all work together for a proper fit. Bergara includes 1/4" spacers so you can lengthen the stock as a young shooter grows.
Does the B-14 Stoke Compact use a detachable magazine?
This 6.5 PRC version feeds from an internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate, holding 3+1 rounds. The floorplate makes unloading quick and safe at the end of a hunt, and there's no separate magazine to lose in the field.
Can I put a suppressor on the Bergara Stoke Compact 6.5 PRC?
Yes, the 20" barrel comes threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard pattern for most 30 caliber and 6.5mm suppressors and muzzle brakes. A suppressor is a popular pairing on this rifle since it cuts recoil and noise noticeably, which matters a lot for the smaller shooters this gun is built for.
How accurate is the B-14 Stoke Compact?
The Stoke uses the same barrel-making process as the rest of Bergara's B-14 line, with in-house drilling, honing, and rifling that Bergara backs with a sub-MOA expectation using quality factory ammo. Paired with the smooth two-lug action and the adjustable Bergara Performance Trigger, it shoots well beyond what most hunters will ever ask of it.
