At first glance, the new Bergara Platinum Stalker looks like a classic wood-stock hunting rifle. But when you take a closer look, you see a pepper-colored laminate Monte Carlo stock that brings old-school lines with modern backbone. Laminate adds stiffness and stability without the worry that comes with traditional walnut, and it holds up when the weather turns ugly. This one will shed rain, snow, heat, cold, and general rough use like it’s nothing.
The Platinum Stalker runs on Bergara’s Premier action finished in stainless Cerakote, ensuring smooth cycling, corrosion resistance, and a level of reliability that will outlive you so you can pass it down to the grandkids.
The fluted stainless barrel uses a 4.5 profile, striking a smart balance between rigidity and carry weight. Every barrel is made in Bergara’s own facility using their honing and rifling process, and the result is consistent sub-MOA accuracy you can count on.
Equipped with a machined M5-pattern bottom metal, the Platinum Stalker’s internal system combines the reliability of a hinged floorplate with the strength and fit only machined components can offer. An included Omni muzzle brake helps tame recoil and muzzle rise, which matters more than ever once you step into the heavier calibers.
Trigger duties are handled by a TriggerTech Primary trigger, factory-tuned with a clean, zero-creep break that stays consistent in rough conditions. The rifle also has a Remington 700 footprint, so aftermarket options for stocks, bases, and triggers are wide open if you want to customize it as you go.
The Bergara Platinum Stalker doesn’t try to reinvent the hunting rifle. It respects tradition, fixes the weak points, and delivers a refined, hard-use tool that looks right in the rack and performs when the shot counts.
Caliber options start at 6.5 Creedmoor and stretch all the way to .375 H&H. That means there are versions of this rifle perfect for chasing every big game animal in North America and beyond, from eastern whitetails to Alaskan brown bear or dangerous game in Africa.
