Bergara BMR-X Competition, Bolt Action Rifle, 18″ Barrel, Black, Green Stock, 10 Rounds, Steel 22WMR 10RD

Product Description

The Bergara BMR-X Steel in .22 WMR is a competition-grade rimfire rifle built on the proven B-14 action with the ergonomics of a full-size precision platform. At 5.5–6.5 lbs, it delivers match-grade accuracy in a rifle light enough to carry all day, yet rigid enough to shoot groups that rival centerfire rifles. If you’re serious about competitive rimfire or small-game hunting, this is the rifle that bridges the gap between casual plinkers and precision systems.

Specifications

What Makes the BMR-X Steel Different

• Full-size rifle ergonomics in a rimfire package. The BXR-inspired adjustable stock and vertical grip let you dial in length of pull and cheek rest like a centerfire precision rifle—no compromises on fit or control.
• 30 MOA rail included. No additional purchase needed. You’re ready to mount glass and dial for long-range rimfire work out of the box.
• Match-chambered, hand-honed barrel. Bergara’s five-step barrel process produces consistency that cuts down vertical stringing and maximizes velocity uniformity—critical in .22 WMR.
• Bergara Performance Trigger, user-adjustable. Crisp, clean breaks at 2–4 lbs (factory set ~3–3.5 lbs). No gunsmith required to customize pull weight with an Allen key.
• B-14 action on a Remington 700 footprint. The largest aftermarket ecosystem in bolt-action history. Drop this into any R700-pattern stock, chassis, or trigger assembly if you want to customize later.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara has been hand-crafting precision barrels in Spain for decades—a legacy born in a gunmaking town with centuries of heritage. Every BMR-X barrel follows Bergara’s rigorous five-step process: precision straightening to eliminate runout, deep-hole drilling for consistent bore, three-spindle diamond honing to a mirror finish, button rifling with carbide buttons held to less than .0002″ groove diameter deviation, and high-temperature stress relieving to lock in accuracy for life. The result is a rimfire barrel that shoots like a hand-lapped custom at production price—and Bergara guarantees every rifle sub-MOA out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is .22 WMR a good choice for competition rimfire?

Yes. .22 WMR (Winchester Magnum Rimfire) offers higher velocity and flatter trajectory than .22 LR, making it ideal for mid-range targets and wind-resistant shooting. Many competitive rimfire matches now feature dedicated .22 WMR categories. The trade-off is cost per round—.22 WMR is pricier than .22 LR—but velocity uniformity and on-target performance often justify it for serious competitors.

Can I use this rifle for small-game hunting?

Absolutely. .22 WMR is legal for small game in most states (check local regs) and delivers clean, ethical kills on rabbits, squirrels, and prairie dogs to moderate distances. The 18″ barrel and sub-MOA accuracy let you place precise shots, and the adjustable trigger helps you control follow-up fire in the field.

Is the BMR-X compatible with aftermarket stocks and triggers?

Yes. The B-14 action is built on the Remington 700 footprint, so it accepts all R700-pattern stocks, chassis, and trigger assemblies. You can upgrade or customize virtually any component without replacing the action. The 30 MOA rail also fits standard Picatinny-compatible scope rings and mounts.

What’s the difference between the Steel and Carbon versions?

The Steel version features a heavy No. 6 profile barrel for maximum rigidity and thermal stability during rapid-fire strings—ideal for competition. The Carbon version uses a lightweight carbon fiber barrel, dropping overall weight further while retaining Bergara’s barrel-making precision. Choose Steel for accuracy at the bench; choose Carbon if you need to carry the rifle all day.

How does the Bergara Performance Trigger compare to upgrading later?

Bergara’s factory trigger is already in the sweet spot: crisp, clean, and adjustable from 2–4 lbs via Allen key. Most reviewers find it matches or exceeds $100+ aftermarket triggers in feel and consistency. You can swap it later if you want, but many shooters never feel the need.

Does Bergara really guarantee sub-MOA accuracy?

Yes. Every Bergara rifle ships with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee: it will print groups under 1 inch at 100 yards with quality factory ammunition. This is Bergara’s confidence in their barrel manufacturing and assembly process. If your rifle doesn’t meet this standard, Bergara will address it.
