Description
The BMR, short for Bergara Micro Rimfire, is what happens when a company known for building seriously accurate centerfire barrels turns its attention to a scaled-down rimfire action. This version is chambered in .22 WMR, which gives you a real step up in reach and thump over a standard .22 LR without adding recoil worth mentioning. At roughly 5.5 pounds and 38 inches overall, it carries easily on a long walk through the squirrel woods, and the tactical gray stock with black specks shrugs off weather and scratched-up truck beds alike.
What Makes the BMR Steel Barrel Worth a Look
The 20-inch barrel is 4140 chrome moly steel with a matte blued finish and a No. 4 taper, cut with a match chamber and a 1:16 twist that handles .22 WMR loads well. The muzzle is threaded 1/2-28 and ships with a thread protector, so adding a suppressor or muzzle device is a five-second job. Up top, the receiver wears an integrated 30 MOA Picatinny rail, which gives you plenty of elevation for stretching this magnum rimfire out past typical plinking distances. There are no iron sights, so plan on a scope from day one.
A Trigger and Action Built Around the Rem 700 Pattern
The Bergara Performance trigger comes crisp from the factory and adjusts with nothing more than an Allen key. Better still, the action accepts most Remington 700 pattern aftermarket triggers with a side bolt release, so tinkerers have room to grow. The whole rifle has the same feel as Bergara's B-14 line, just shrunk down to rimfire proportions.
Bergara BMR .22 WMR in the Field and at the Match
Bergara designed the BMR to fit the base class in NRL22 competition, and it ships with both a 5-round magazine for hunting and a 10-round magazine for running stages. That flexibility is the whole point of this rifle. One day it is a coyote and prairie dog rig, the next it is knocking steel at your local rimfire match, and it does both without complaint.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Bergara BMR .22 WMR come with magazines?
Yes, it ships with two: a slim 5-round magazine that sits flush for hunting and a 10-round magazine that works great for match stages or extended range sessions. The magazines are interchangeable across the whole BMR family, so mags from the .22 LR and .17 HMR versions fit the same footprint.
Is the BMR trigger adjustable or replaceable?
Both. The factory Bergara Performance trigger breaks clean out of the box and can be adjusted with just an Allen key. Since it uses the Remington 700 trigger pattern, you can also swap in most aftermarket Rem 700 style triggers, as long as you pick one with a side bolt release.
Can I run a suppressor on the BMR's threaded barrel?
Yes. The 20-inch steel barrel is threaded 1/2-28, which is the standard rimfire suppressor pitch, and it comes with a thread protector installed. Keep in mind .22 WMR runs supersonic in nearly all loads, so expect quieter shooting rather than movie-quiet.
Does this rifle come with sights, or do I need a scope?
There are no iron sights on the BMR, so plan on mounting an optic. The receiver has an integrated 30 MOA Picatinny rail built in, which means no separate bases to buy and extra elevation for shooting at longer distances. Most owners pair it with a quality rimfire or crossover scope.
