Bergara Brought the Heat for SHOT Show 2024
I am an admitted rifle nerd and a stop at Bergara Rifles during SHOT Show 2024 was a must. There I found four new rifles that you should know about.
Bergara Premier Series MGMicro Lite
Bergara has introduced the MgMicro Lite rifle, designed to allow hunters to travel deeper into the backcountry. Weighing in at a mere 5.8 pounds and sporting an 18-inch Cure carbon barrel, this rifle is designed to perfectly balance portability and performance. It is an excellent lightweight hunter.

Bergara Crest Carbon
From the B-14 Squared Series comes the Bergara Crest Carbon. The Crest Carbon is born from a stock crafted entirely in carbon fiber with an internal spine making it the pinnacle of strength and rigidity. This 100% carbon fiber stock is designed with industry-leading technologies to withstand anything you throw at it. The Crest stock also incorporates length-of-pull spacers and their M5 cutout which provides users with a unique versatility to seamlessly transition from AICS magazine to a traditional floorplate. This stock, now combined with their Cure carbon fiber barrel sets a new standard in durability and performance.

Bergara Stoke
The Stoke is meticulously crafted for smaller-statured shooters who understand the critical link between comfort and performance. Setting itself apart from other compact rifles that merely shave an inch off the length of pull, the Stoke features an industry-leading 12.25-inch length of pull. Ranking among the shortest in the bolt-action centerfire market, this achievement is the result of a comprehensive redesign that involves shortening the forend, refining the grip, and incorporating a negative comb angle to diminish felt recoil.
