The Bergara Platinum Stalker in 25 Creedmoor is a modern hunting rifle built for shooters who want classic wood-and-laminate aesthetics without sacrificing the rigidity and weather resistance that serious field work demands. This is a rifle that looks and feels like a traditional stalker but performs like precision equipment—a smart choice for hunters who spend time in variable conditions and need a rifle that won't let them down.
At the heart of the Platinum Stalker is a stainless steel action finished in titanium Cerakote, paired with a fluted stainless barrel that reduces weight while improving heat dissipation. The barrel comes factory threaded (5/8"-24) and topped with an Omni Muzzlebrake, giving you the platform to dial in your ballistics or add a suppressor if you choose. The No. 4.5 taper sits in a pepper-colored laminate Monte Carlo stock—a classic profile that combines the warmth of traditional rifle design with the durability laminate brings to field use. No rust worries, no wood movement; just a rifle ready for backcountry hunts, long sits, or cross-country travel.
The trigger is a TriggerTech unit, known for clean, consistent breaks. The rifle rides M5 bottom metal, keeping it compatible with modern accessories and ammunition handling. In 25 Creedmoor, you're shooting a cartridge that punches above its recoil—efficient, flat, and capable of taking game from reasonable hunting distances without the flinch factor of larger magnums.
This is Bergara's approach to the modern stalker: honest engineering, no hype, built to work in real conditions. Whether you're hunting open country, timber, or mountains, the Platinum Stalker delivers precision in a package that won't feel out of place at a hunt lodge or on a back-country trail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the muzzle brake removable or can I add a suppressor?
The barrel is factory threaded 5/8"-24, and the Omni Muzzlebrake is installed. You can swap muzzle devices as needed for your setup—whether that's a different brake, flash hider, or a suppressor.
What makes a laminate stock better than traditional wood?
Laminate resists warping and weather damage far better than solid wood. In wet, humid, or variable conditions, a laminate stock maintains its zero and consistency. The Platinum Stalker's laminate Monte Carlo still delivers the classic look and feel hunters expect—it's engineered for performance in tough environments.
What is 25 Creedmoor good for?
25 Creedmoor is a modern, efficient cartridge that offers flat trajectory and good energy retention at extended ranges with lighter recoil than larger magnums. It's well-suited to hunting medium game and is a favorite among shooters who want precision ballistics without excessive recoil.
What kind of accessories can I use with M5 bottom metal?
M5 is a modern standard that works with a wide range of contemporary magazines and precision rifle accessories, making the Platinum Stalker easy to adapt to your needs and preference.
