Specifications

What Makes the BMR Micro Rimfire Different

• Dual-magazine system out of the box: Ships with both a 5-round hunting magazine and a 10-round competition magazine—no upgrade cost, no delay. Field to match in seconds.
• Match-chamber precision: Bergara’s match chamber tolerances deliver best-in-class rimfire accuracy. Every rifle carries a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, backed by Bergara’s reputation and testing.
• Bergara Micro Rimfire action: Built on the B-14 design philosophy but scaled and lightened for rimfire. Remington 700 footprint means unlimited aftermarket compatibility—stocks, chassis, triggers, and scope mounts from decades of 700-pattern development.
• Externally adjustable trigger: The Bergara Performance Trigger adjusts from 2 to 4 lbs with an Allen key—no gunsmith, no downtime. Factory-set to a crisp 3–3.5 lbs, reviewers consistently rank it with premium aftermarket triggers costing $200+.
• Threaded barrel for suppressors: The 18-inch barrel is tapped and ready for a .22 suppressor, making this rifle ideal for quiet practice and early-morning hunting where noise matters.

Bergara’s Barrel Story

Bergara isn’t just assembling rifles—the company has spent decades manufacturing precision barrels for the world’s most demanding firearms makers. Every BMR barrel undergoes Bergara’s proven 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 deviation, and high-temperature stress relief. This process removes residual stress and guarantees consistent bore geometry, which translates directly to the sub-MOA accuracy you’ll see at 100 yards. You’re shooting a barrel made by a company whose heritage spans centuries of Spanish gunmaking—assembled in Georgia by a team that includes former USMC Precision Weapons Section armorers who built rifles for Marines in combat and competition worldwide.

Why This Rifle Matters for North Texas Shooters

The .22 LR remains the most versatile and affordable rimfire cartridge: low recoil, mild report (especially with a suppressor), and accurate enough for precision competition. The BMR Micro Rimfire bridges a gap—it’s not a plinking gun, and it’s not a budget rifle. It’s a purpose-built competition and small-game platform that costs less than many AR-15s but delivers the accuracy and ergonomics of rifles costing twice as much. For NRL22 shooters, hunters, and rimfire competitors across the DFW area, this is a rifle that won’t slow you down.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the BMR Micro Rimfire qualify for NRL22 Base Class competition?

Yes. The BMR is purpose-built to meet NRL22 Base Class specifications: it weighs 5.5–5.8 lbs (well under the 10-lb limit), features a short 18-inch barrel, and the Bergara Micro Rimfire action delivers the accuracy required for match shooting. Many competitors run the BMR in Base Class and win. The 10-round competition magazine is match-legal and included.

Can I use this rifle for small-game hunting, or is it just for competition?

The BMR is equally at home in the field or on the range. The 5-round hunting magazine (included) is ideal for small game and varmints, and the compact 5.5–5.8 lb weight means less fatigue on long days. The .22 LR is effective on rabbits, squirrels, prairie dogs, and similar game. The threaded barrel accepts a suppressor, making early-morning or evening hunts quieter and more neighbor-friendly.

Is the BMR action compatible with existing Remington 700 stocks and accessories?

Yes. The Bergara Micro Rimfire action uses a Remington 700 footprint, so it accepts all Remington 700 pattern stocks, chassis, triggers, and scope bases. This gives you access to one of the largest aftermarket ecosystems in firearms—should you ever want to customize trigger pull, stock profile, or chassis setup. However, the factory Bergara BMR stock and Performance Trigger are already exceptional; most shooters don’t need to upgrade.

What ammunition does Bergara recommend for the sub-MOA guarantee?

Bergara backs the sub-MOA guarantee with quality factory ammunition—typically high-velocity or match-grade .22 LR loads like CCI Stinger, Federal Match, or Lapua Brass. Rimfire ammo can vary, so if you’re not achieving sub-MOA groups, try a different loading. We can help you develop a load that works best with your barrel.

Can I suppress this rifle, and does it come threaded?

Yes on both counts. The 18-inch barrel is factory-threaded for suppressors (standard 1/2″-28 thread). A .22 LR suppressor is one of the quietest and most effective suppressors you can buy, and the BMR is an ideal platform. Many shooters run this rifle with a suppressor for practice and small-game hunting.

What’s the difference between the .22 LR, .22 WMR, and .17 HMR versions?

The .22 LR (this model) is the most accurate, cheapest to shoot, and best for competition and small game at typical ranges. The .22 WMR adds velocity and range (better for coyotes and longer-range varmints) but costs more per round. The .17 HMR is the flattest-shooting and fastest, ideal for precision varmint work at 100+ yards. All three versions use the same action and barrel taper; Bergara offers the BMR in all three to match your intended use.
