The Bergara Premier Platinum Stalker in .308 Winchester is a hunting rifle that pairs a traditional laminate Monte Carlo stock with a modern stainless action (Bergara part no. BPR40-308). The 20-inch fluted stainless barrel is threaded 5/8×24 and comes with an Omni muzzle brake, and the whole rifle is finished in Titanium Cerakote. A TriggerTech Primary trigger gives a crisp, zero-creep break, and the 5-round magazine covers a typical hunt. Bergara backs it with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. It suits a hunter who wants the look of a wood-stocked rifle with the stiffness and weather resistance of laminate.
