Description
The Bergara BMR .22 LR 5-round magazine is the OEM factory mag that comes paired with these little rimfire rifles, and for good reason. It's a no-nonsense single-stack design that handles hunting, target work, and competition shooting without breaking a sweat. The polymer body keeps things light, while the high-tensile steel spring and self-lubricating follower ensure cartridges feed smoothly every single time you cycle the bolt.
Lightweight Design That Stays Reliable
Bergara engineered this magazine specifically for the BMR magwell, so you get a snug, wobble-free fit. The precision-molded feed lips grip cartridges securely, and there's no chatter or rattle when you seat it. At 5 rounds, it's perfect if you're running the rifle for small game or if you prefer a lower-profile mag that doesn't stick out of the stock when you're moving through brush.
Real-World Performance
These mags have proven themselves in Appleseed courses, rimfire matches, and countless hunting trips. They load easy, feed consistently with quality ammo and bulk rounds alike, and handle the abuse of regular range use without complaint. The polymer construction won't crack from drops or rough handling like some materials might. Pair a couple of these with the 10-round mag that comes with the BMR, and you've got a solid magazine setup for whatever you're doing.
Not Compatible with Other Models
This is designed only for the BMR in .22 LR. It won't fit the BMR in .22 WMR or .17 HMR, and it's not compatible with the B14R or any other platform. That's not a drawback—it's Bergara being specific about fit and function.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine work with my BMR in .22 WMR or .17 HMR?
No. This 5-round magazine is specifically designed for the BMR chambered in .22 LR only. The .22 WMR and .17 HMR versions of the BMR use a different magazine design. Make sure you order the correct mag for your rifle's caliber.
How does the 5-round capacity compare to the 10-round magazine?
The 5-rounder is more compact and sits lower in the stock, making it ideal for hunting where you want a sleeker profile. The 10-round mag gives you more capacity for extended range sessions or competition. Most BMR owners get both—the rifles actually ship with one of each.
What kind of ammunition works best with this magazine?
The BMR magazine handles standard .22 LR ammunition reliably, from bulk rounds to match-grade loads. For the best accuracy and feeding consistency, quality ammunition always performs better than the cheapest bulk packs. The magazine itself isn't picky—it's your ammo quality that makes the biggest difference in performance.
Is this magazine durable enough for regular range use?
Yes. The polymer construction is impact-resistant and the high-tensile steel spring keeps its strength over time. Users report these mags holding up to hundreds of rounds without degradation. Like all magazines, regular cleaning and proper storage will keep them running like new for years.
