Bergara BMR Rifle, Bolt Action Rifle, 18″ Carbon Fiber Barrel, Cerakote Finish, Black, 10 Rounds, Right Hand

Product Description

The Bergara BMR Micro Rimfire in .22 LR is a purpose-built, sub-MOA precision rimfire that proves you don’t need centerfire power to shoot tight groups and win matches. Built on Bergara’s compact Micro Rimfire action with the same design DNA as the legendary B-14, this rifle delivers match-grade accuracy in a lightweight platform that fits NRL22 Base Class rules and feels equally at home in the field or on the line. Ships with both a 5-round hunting magazine and a 10-round competition magazine—you’re ready for any mission out of the box.

Specifications

What Makes the BMR Micro Rimfire Different

• Two magazines, two missions: The dual-magazine setup (5-round hunting, 10-round competition) means you’re never limited by your use case. Swap in seconds—no special tools or conversions needed.
• Match chamber for rimfire precision: Bergara’s exacting chamber tolerances ensure reliable ignition and repeatable velocity, the foundation of consistent sub-MOA groups in a .22 LR platform.
• B-14 action engineering in a lightweight package: The two-lug bolt system, coned breech, and oversized threaded bolt knob provide smooth cycling and superior repeatability compared to traditional rimfire actions. Full Remington 700 pattern compatibility means unlimited aftermarket stock and chassis options.
• Adjustable trigger without a gunsmith: The Bergara Performance Trigger lets you dial in your preferred pull weight—2 to 4 lbs—using nothing more than an Allen key. Factory trigger is already crisp and match-ready at 3–3.5 lbs.
• NRL22 Base Class legal: This rifle meets weight and feature specifications for competitive rimfire matches, making it a serious contender for shooters stepping into organized rimfire competition.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara barrels don’t just happen—they’re engineered through five precise steps that turn raw steel into precision instruments. Each barrel is straightened to spec, deep-hole drilled for concentricity, then honed by a three-spindle diamond process to a mirror finish that reduces friction and inconsistency. Button rifling with carbide buttons held to less than .0002″ groove diameter deviation guarantees uniform twist, and high-temperature stress relieving ensures the steel stays stable through thousands of rounds. The result is sub-MOA accuracy at production prices—performance that would cost two to three times as much from a custom barrel maker.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the .22 LR the best choice for NRL22 competition, or should I consider .17 HMR or .22 WMR?

Each caliber has strengths. .22 LR is the most affordable to shoot and offers the gentlest recoil, making it ideal for learning match fundamentals and maximizing round count during practice. .22 WMR and .17 HMR offer flatter trajectories and less wind drift at distance, which can be an advantage in extreme wind conditions. The BMR is available in all three calibers, so your choice depends on your budget, local match rules (check with your club), and whether you prioritize practice volume or ballistic performance.

Can I use the BMR with standard .22 LR magazines, or does it only work with Bergara mags?

The BMR is designed for Bergara’s proprietary magazines (5-round and 10-round) and uses the Remington 700 footprint, which accepts many aftermarket magazines. However, for optimal reliability and accuracy, we recommend using the included magazines or other Bergara-approved options. If you want to explore other magazine choices, send us a message and we can advise on compatibility.

The trigger is adjustable from 2 to 4 lbs—what pull weight should I use?

Factory-set at 3 to 3.5 lbs, the Bergara Performance Trigger is already match-ready and crisp. Many shooters find 3 to 3.5 lbs ideal for precision rimfire work because it’s light enough for clean breaks without becoming so light that accidental discharge is a risk. If you prefer something lighter for competition, you can dial it down to 2 lbs. If you want a heavier, safer hunting pull, 4 lbs works fine. Use an Allen key to adjust—no gunsmith needed.

What does “sub-MOA accuracy guarantee” mean, and is that realistic for a .22 LR?

Sub-MOA means your rifle will print groups smaller than 1 inch at 100 yards using quality factory ammunition—right out of the box. For a .22 LR, this is a serious claim and reflects Bergara’s confidence in their match chamber, barrel accuracy, and action engineering. Rimfire is inherently more variable than centerfire due to ammunition inconsistency, but a sub-MOA guarantee means even with production .22 LR ammo, you’re getting precision-class performance.

Is the stock Remington 700 pattern compatible, and can I swap it out?

Yes. The BMR action uses a Remington 700 footprint and accepts all standard R700 pattern stocks, chassis, and accessories. This is a huge advantage: the R700 has the largest aftermarket ecosystem in bolt-action history. If you want to customize with a PRS chassis, a McMillan stock, or any other R700-compatible option, you’re not locked in to Bergara’s synthetic stock.

Does the threaded barrel come with a suppressor or muzzle device?

The barrel is threaded 1/2×28 and ready for a suppressor or muzzle device, but none is included. Many rimfire shooters pair the BMR with a quality .22 suppressor to reduce noise and recoil impulse, which can further tighten groups in competition.

What’s the difference between the standard steel barrel and the carbon barrel version?

The standard 4140 Chrome-Moly barrel is durable, reliable, and delivers sub-MOA accuracy. The carbon barrel version offers a weight savings and slightly faster cooling between shots, which some competitive shooters value. Both maintain Bergara’s accuracy standard. Your choice depends on whether you prioritize ultimate lightweight handling or the proven durability of traditional steel. Both are available—reach out if you’d like to discuss the tradeoffs.
