Bergara BMR-X New Rimfire Series: Affordable Accuracy

Something new from Bergara this year with the release of the Bergara BMR-X series. The rimfire series offers up a blend of versatility in a lightweight design that looks to appeal to both competitive shooters and small game hunters.

At the heart of the BMR-X is the Bergara Micro Rimfire (BMR) action, a scaled down version of the well known B-14 action, which makes a compact and platform for rimfire calibers. The rifle is available in popular rimfire calibers including .22 LR, .22 WMR, and .17 HMR.

The main difference between the two variants, aside form the calibers offered is the carbon barrel which comes with the BMR-X Carbon. The carbon fiber wrapped barrel is offered in 18-inch or 20-inch lengths depending on the caliber selected. The No. 6 taper barrel is lightweight and threaded (1/2-28″) to accommodate suppressors.

The rifle comes equipped with the Bergara Performance Trigger, which I’m sure will offer up a crisp and consistent pull. Additionally, the BMR-X Carbon includes both 5 round and 10 round magazines, allowing a bit of choice for choosing the appropriate capacity for hunting or competition.

The BMR-X Carbon is lightweight, making it easy to carry during extended hunting trips. The synthetic stock, finished in black with tactical grey specks, offers a comfortable grip and is designed to mimic the ergonomics of Bergara’s larger B-14 series, providing familiarity for those accustomed to the brand’s centerfire rifles.

The carbon fiber barrel on the BMR-X Carbon, offers up a little saving on weight. Whether used in the field for small game hunting or on the range for target shooting, the BMR Carbon looks to deliver performance that shooters have come to expect from Bergara.

The Bergara BMR Carbon’s combination of a lightweight design, precision engineering, and user friendly features makes it a great little rifle to consider. I’ll be keeping an eye out for these to see how they perform.
