Precision rimfire competition and light-field work demand a rifle that balances accuracy, weight, and intuitive ergonomics. For shooters building a capable NRL22 rig or hunting small game without carrying excess bulk, a thoughtfully designed bolt-action platform makes all the difference.

BERGARA BMR is the Bergara Micro Rimfire built to deliver match-grade performance in a lighter package. The BMR is positioned as the base class within the NRL22 series and features a match chamber engineered for worldclass accuracy. That emphasis on precision, combined with a design that’s lighter and easier to carry in the field, makes it a versatile choice for range shooters and small-game hunters alike. Shop this product

Fit, Function, and Why BMR Stands Out

As a Bergara product, the BMR carries the brand’s reputation for barrel quality and consistent bedding. The match chamber is the cornerstone for repeatable groups; on a platform like the BMR that precision is augmented by a package engineered to reduce carry weight without sacrificing balance. For shooters who prioritize follow-up shots and ease of transport, the BMR’s lighter build is a tangible advantage on long range days and multi-hour field excursions.

NRL22 Base Class — Practical Performance

The BMR’s role as a base class entry in the NRL22 lineup makes it an approachable step into competition. It provides a factory-level match chamber and accuracy potential that lets competitors focus upgrades on optics, chassis accessories, or trigger work rather than chasing barrel or chamber performance. The model variety under Bergara’s offering means you can choose a configuration that matches your shooting style while relying on a consistent core platform.

For buyers evaluating value versus performance, the BMR is priced at $644.99 — a competitive position for a match-chambered rimfire that emphasizes portability and accuracy.

Practical Recommendations

Equip the BMR with a quality optic and a lightweight bipod or sling for hunting and precision rimfire matches. Its match chamber rewards careful ammunition selection and load consistency; plan to test several brands of rimfire ammo to find the best grouping for your setup. For competitive shooters stepping into NRL22 base class, the BMR gives a platform that’s accurate, portable, and upgrade-friendly.
