Description
The Bergara BMR Carbon 22 LR is a compact, accurate bolt-action rimfire built on a micro version of the B-14 action. This configuration (Bergara model BMR002, UPC 043125110094) pairs a 18-inch carbon fiber wrapped barrel with a gray and black speckled synthetic stock, and it ships with both a 5-round and a 10-round detachable magazine.
Bergara BMR Carbon 22 LR Overview
Bergara designed the BMR for shooters who love the feel of the B-14 but want a lighter, handier rifle for small game, plinking and youth shooters. It weighs about 5 pounds, the barrel is threaded for a suppressor, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for easy optic mounting. The carbon fiber barrel trims weight from the muzzle so the rifle balances naturally in the hands.
Match Chamber Accuracy
Every BMR barrel has a match chamber, cut to tight tolerances for precise bullet alignment. Combined with the quality of a Bergara barrel, that gives this rimfire rifle the kind of accuracy usually found on much more expensive guns, so small targets at 50 yards are well within reach.
Micro B-14 Action
The BMR action has the same look and smooth feel as the full-size B-14, scaled down for rimfire cartridges. The bolt runs quietly, the safety is easy to reach, and the trigger breaks cleanly for good shot placement.
Affordable 22 LR
The 22 LR is the most popular cartridge in the world for good reason: ammunition is inexpensive, recoil is almost nonexistent and it is accurate enough for serious target work. It is ideal for plinking, squirrel hunting, rimfire matches and teaching new shooters the fundamentals.
Two Detachable Magazines
Each rifle includes a slim 5-round detachable magazine that sits flush for carry and a 10-round detachable magazine for longer range sessions. The magazines work across BMR rifles in 22 LR, 22 WMR and 17 HMR, so you can share spares between rifles of the same caliber.
A Great First Rifle
Its compact size, light weight and mild report make the BMR an excellent rifle for teaching new and young shooters. Start at short range with a large target, focus on safe handling and a smooth trigger press, and keep sessions short and fun so the lessons stick.
Threaded Barrel and Suppressors
The threaded barrel accepts a rimfire suppressor where legal, which makes the BMR even quieter and more pleasant to shoot. When a suppressor is not attached, keep the thread protector installed to guard the threads and crown.
Choosing a Scope
A 2-7x or 3-9x rimfire scope in low rings is a great match for this rifle. Zero at 50 yards, then check your holdovers at 25 and 75 yards so you know exactly where to aim at different distances.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Rimfire ammunition leaves more fouling than centerfire, so clean the bolt face, extractor and chamber regularly. Many rimfire barrels shoot best slightly fouled, so only scrub the bore when accuracy starts to fall off.
Safe Storage at Home
Store the rifle unloaded in a locked safe or cabinet with ammunition kept separately, and teach everyone in the household basic safety rules.
