The CURE Carbon barrel shaves weight while maintaining the accuracy standards Bergara is known for: every rifle ships with a sub-MOA guarantee.

Specifications

What Makes the BMR Micro Different

• Dual-Magazine System: Ships ready for both hunting and competition. The 5-round magazine keeps weight down for field days; the 10-round magazine meets NRL22 rules without requiring a purchase.
• Match-Chamber Rimfire Accuracy: Bergara’s match-grade chamber and sub-MOA guarantee mean your .22 WMR will group tighter than most centerfire hunting rifles—straight from the box.
• CURE Carbon Barrel: Weight savings without compromise. The carbon construction reduces muzzle rise and fatigue on long shooting sessions while preserving the precision that defines Bergara’s barrel reputation.
• Remington 700 Ecosystem: The B-14 action accepts decades of aftermarket stocks, chassis, triggers, and scope mounts. You have unlimited options to customize your rifle as your needs evolve.
• Adjustable Trigger, No Gunsmith Required: The Bergara Performance Trigger adjusts 2–4 lbs with a simple Allen key. Set it to your preference without leaving home or paying for a trip to the shop.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara has been crafting precision barrels in the Basque region of Spain for generations, supplying some of the world’s most demanding firearms manufacturers. Every Bergara barrel follows a rigorous 5-step process: precision straightening, deep-hole drilling, three-spindle diamond honing to a mirror finish, carbide-button rifling held to less than .0002″ groove diameter deviation, and high-temperature stress relieving. This methodology eliminates the inconsistencies that plague mass-produced barrels and produces factory accuracy that rivals hand-lapped customs. The .22 WMR barrel in your BMR Micro has already passed this gauntlet—which is why Bergara stands behind every rifle with a sub-MOA guarantee.

The Micro Rimfire Action: Compact Precision Engineering

The BMR Micro action scales down the B-14’s proven two-lug design into a lighter, more compact platform without sacrificing strength or smoothness. The coned bolt nose and breech ensure reliable feeding cycle after cycle, while the enhanced bolt stop provides superior control compared to Remington 700 originals. A threaded oversized bolt knob comes standard, allowing you to easily attach soft-case handles or adapt to left-hand operation if needed. Best of all: your rifle accepts the largest aftermarket ecosystem in bolt-action history. You are not locked into Bergara parts—you can upgrade triggers, stocks, and optic mounts from competitors at will.

Why This Caliber Matters

The .22 WMR sits at the sweet spot for rimfire precision shooting. It delivers 40% more velocity than .22 LR and flatter trajectory out to 100+ yards, making it ideal for varmint work on prairie dogs, coyotes, and ground squirrels. The round is also controllable—less recoil than centerfire options, easier to master follow-up shots, and forgiving of minor form errors. If you are building a first precision rifle or adding a second gun to your battery for small game and varmint work, the .22 WMR gives you performance that punches well above its price point.

Trigger Talk: The Bergara Performance Trigger

Reviewers consistently praise the Bergara Performance Trigger as crisp and comparable to aftermarket upgrades costing $200+. The factory setting of 3–3.5 lbs works well for most shooters, but the real value is adjustability. Use your Allen key to dial it down to 2 lbs for competition, or up to 4 lbs for hunting if you prefer a safety margin. There is no click detent, no creep—just a clean break that encourages precision shooting without inducing flinch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why .22 WMR instead of .22 LR for the BMR Micro?

.22 WMR gives you 40% higher velocity and flatter trajectory, making it the better choice for varmint work and longer-range rimfire shooting (100+ yards). If you plan to shoot mostly targets at 50 yards or less, or prefer the lower cost of .22 LR, Bergara offers the BMR in .22 LR with an 18-inch barrel. The accuracy standards are identical across calibers.

Will this rifle fit NRL22 Base Class competition rules?

Yes. The BMR Micro weighs 5.5–5.8 lbs, well under the Base Class limit. It ships with a 10-round competition magazine and a match-grade chamber, making it match-ready out of the box. No modifications or aftermarket parts required to compete at the local level.

Can I use a suppressor with this rifle?

Yes. The .22 WMR barrel is threaded for standard rimfire suppressors (typically 1/2-28 or M14×1LH, depending on the suppressor manufacturer). A suppressed .22 WMR is significantly quieter than unsuppressed and is an excellent choice for property owners or hunters who want to reduce noise without sacrificing power.

What ammunition does the match chamber prefer?

The BMR Micro’s match chamber is optimized for quality .22 WMR ammunition such as CCI Maxi-Mag, Federal 40-grain, or similar factory loads. Bergara’s sub-MOA guarantee is based on quality factory ammunition; results may vary with budget or older surplus rounds. We recommend running 50 rounds of premium ammunition to find which load your barrel prefers.

Is the trigger safe for hunting?

Yes. Adjusted to its 4-lb maximum pull weight, the Bergara Performance Trigger is appropriate for hunting and provides a safety margin against accidental discharge. Even at 2 lbs, the trigger is designed with a clean, predictable break that is less likely to induce flinch-related misses than creepy or gritty triggers.

Can I swap the stock or add a chassis?

Absolutely. The BMR Micro action is built on the Remington 700 footprint, so any Remington 700-compatible stock or chassis will fit. This opens up thousands of aftermarket options from companies like Magpul, MDT, Manners, and others. You are not locked into Bergara’s synthetic stock—it is a starting point, not a ceiling.

How does the CURE Carbon barrel differ from the standard steel barrel?

Both barrels undergo Bergara’s identical 5-step manufacturing process and carry the same sub-MOA guarantee. The CURE Carbon barrel is lighter and reduces muzzle rise and shooter fatigue during long shooting sessions or matches. Steel barrels offer slightly more thermal mass if you plan high-volume shooting. For most shooters, the carbon barrel’s weight savings and competitive edge justify the choice.

What is included in the box?

Your BMR Micro ships with the rifle, a 5-round hunting magazine, a 10-round competition magazine, a threaded oversized bolt knob, and Bergara’s documentation. You will need to source an optic, rings, and ammunition separately.
