The Bergara Platinum Stalker in 6.5 Creedmoor is a purpose-built hunting rifle that bridges the gap between classic aesthetics and modern performance. If you're drawn to the warmth and feel of a wood-stocked rifle but need the structural integrity that keeps your shots true in harsh field conditions, this is your gun. The laminate Monte Carlo stock in pepper gray delivers timeless hunting-rifle style while offering the weather resistance and rigidity you can't get from traditional wood alone.
Bergara's reputation for accuracy and reliability runs through every component here. The action is stainless steel with Bergara's signature fluting, finished in titanium Cerakote for corrosion resistance in wet climates and demanding terrain. The No. 4.5 profile barrel is threaded 5/8"-24 and topped with an Omni muzzlebrake to tame recoil and help you stay on target for follow-up shots. Underneath, M5 bottom metal keeps everything tight and compatible with standard modern magazines.
The TriggerTech trigger gives you a clean, predictable break out of the box—no guessing, no tuning. Combined with Bergara's barrel work and the stock's natural vibration dampening from the laminate layers, this rifle is comfortable out to mid-range hunting distances without requiring a custom gunsmith. Whether you're glassing a ridgeline in November or hiking into backcountry early season, the Platinum Stalker balances traditional rifle character with the durability and accuracy modern hunting demands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I suppress this rifle or use a different muzzle device?
Yes. The barrel is threaded 5/8"-24, which is the standard diameter for most modern suppressors and muzzle accessories. The Omni muzzlebrake is included and removable.
What's the difference between a laminate stock and a wood stock?
Laminate stocks are made from layers of wood bonded with epoxy and typically finished to be weather-resistant. They're stiffer and more durable than solid wood, resist warping from temperature and humidity changes, and maintain their point of impact better during extended hunting seasons. They're ideal for harsh environments and demanding use.
Is this rifle ready to shoot out of the box?
The Platinum Stalker comes with the TriggerTech trigger installed and the Omni muzzlebrake attached. You'll still need to mount an optic, add rings and base, and confirm zero at your intended hunting distance before field use.
What type of magazines does the M5 bottom metal use?
M5 bottom metal accepts standard modern detachable box magazines compatible with M5-pattern rifles. The specific magazine models for 6.5 Creedmoor should be confirmed with the retailer or manufacturer.
