The Bergara BMR Steel brings Bergara's precision-focused approach to the rimfire platform, offering shooters a well-built bolt-action rifle for target shooting, small-game hunting and everyday range use. Available in .22 LR and .22 WMR, the BMR Steel combines a quality steel barrel with a lightweight synthetic stock and Bergara's BMR action to create a rimfire rifle that is comfortable to carry while still providing the solid feel and consistency serious rimfire shooters appreciate.
Rather than treating a rimfire as an afterthought, Bergara designed the BMR around many of the characteristics shooters expect from a quality centrefire bolt-action rifle. The result is a compact, versatile platform with an adjustable trigger, detachable magazine system and a threaded barrel. Whether you're spending an afternoon working on groups at the range or carrying it through the field, the BMR Steel delivers a straightforward combination of accuracy-oriented design, practical handling and rimfire versatility.
Functional Highlights
- Purpose-Built Rimfire Platform: Bergara developed the BMR as a dedicated bolt-action rimfire rather than simply scaling down a centrefire design, giving it handling and features suited specifically to rimfire shooting.
- Steel Barrel: The BMR Steel uses a quality steel barrel designed around the consistency and accuracy expected from the Bergara name.
- Adjustable Trigger: Allows the shooter to tailor trigger pull to personal preference for a more controlled and repeatable shooting experience.
- Detachable Magazine System: Provides convenient loading and unloading for range sessions, hunting and general field use.
- Threaded Barrel: Factory threading provides compatibility with appropriate muzzle accessories where permitted and suitable.
- Two Rimfire Chamberings: Choose .22 LR for economical target shooting and versatile rimfire use, or .22 WMR for shooters looking for additional rimfire performance.
Centrefire Thinking in a Rimfire Rifle
What makes the BMR Steel interesting is its approach. Bergara brought the feel and precision-oriented thinking of its larger bolt-action rifles into a compact rimfire platform. That makes the BMR equally appealing to experienced shooters looking for a quality rimfire trainer and hunters wanting a capable rifle for the field. With both .22 LR and .22 WMR available, you can choose the chambering that best matches how you intend to use the rifle without giving up the core BMR design.
