Bergara BMR .22LR?

[pewpew2232]

Anyone have one? What type of groups do you get with what types of ammo? Any feed issues?

I can't speak to the quality of their 22's, but I can tell you that their 308 line up is stupendous

I don't have one, but a friend of mine (whose judgement I trust on the topic of rimfires) does and he speaks highly of it. It's no Anschutz, but it's a good entry into the low end of the high end of rimfires. I've been considering one to pair with my b14 hmr.

Wouldn't expect an Annie or even really expect it to keep up with my CZ 452's, just wanting something that is consistent and has a synthetic stock that doesn't feel like garbage. I've had the Bergara in hand and I do like it.

I have a B14R and it will easily print quarter sized or less 10 shot groups at 50 yards with almost every type of ammo I've tried in it. With the match ammo that it likes best, those groups shrink to nickle sized.

I haven't shot mine much but with decent ammo it is a bit better than 1 MOA.

FTFY. Until we all test it, we're blaming the Indian, not the bow.

I don't have one - but I for sure want one!

Heck, if it'll do sub MOA with my lousy eyes and shaky hands then should be half MOA with good eyes and steady hands.

Don't even get me started on long range precision trigger work. Only takes me ten rounds or so to warm up and figure it out, kinda...

Got a BMR with carbon barrel. Has a wondering zero issue. I'd complain but it shoots the lights out. CCI SV shoots pretty good with is nice. SK match and Standard shoot great, MOA at 50yds 10 shot groups are pretty common. It's hard to shoot off a bench since it's so light. I'd stick with the carbon barrel unless you really like a light rifle. Feeds and extracts no problem.

Are you sure the issue is the rifle and not the scope or mounts?

Wandering zero is usually internal to the scope or loose mounts. Wooden stock touching the bbl with humidity changes or improper torque on action screws can also cause it. MOA groups or better with ammo it likes should be the rule. Not just "not uncommon".

Wish it was that simple, it's had multiple proven scopes mounted. Bedded the action. When it gets hot the POI drops 3"-4" at 50yds. My guess is a surface in the barrel tension system is not quite true. If you want to talk about wandering zeros I'm prepping a 1903a3 and Garand for the D-Day shoot in Anniston AL. Those old guns are tricky if you want to play by the rules.

Thats odd I've seen that issue with centerfires with thin barrels, never with a .22

I ment, I'd stick with carbon steel barrel unless you really like a light rifle. I like it better than the CZs, but wouldn't say it's better. The CZ is a classic style with the wood stocks. The BMR feels more modern

I love fate sometimes. I started to get the itch for a new firearm, a precision 22 bolt to be honest, and started to research on the the ol’ interwebs. didn’t want to skimp out on the entire setup so I was preparing/saving up for it all. Wanted quality all around, scope trigger, rings, bipod, you know all of it.

I knew I didn’t want to go cheap/quality so I started looking a the Vudoo lineup. Man are they nice looking along with a very nice price tag.

Next I went to cz 457 and was getting into the MTR version so I put that on the list of potentials

Of course I looked into the Annie’s as well but couldn’t find one I liked or one any available at decent price.

Finally came across the bergara b14r. Not knowing much about them I started researching more about them and the more I was interested.

So I decided to go bergara route and low and behold one showed up in the classies. Bergara b14r steel barrel. Not only did one show up in the classies, it showed up all setup and ready to go so I didn’t have to go looking for all the extras that I needed. A nice Arken scope already mounted on nice rings and rail. Came with extra magazine and 2 boxes of eley and lapua ammo.

Having it all setup and ready to go the way I was wanting to take it saved me a lot of time and effort and not to mention, money. Only thing I am contemplating changing out is the stock trigger. It’s nice with clean crisp break but I feel like I want a little bit lighter trigger pull weight. Other than that I have no complaints about it at all.

Again I just love it when fate lands what you are wanting right in your lap at the right moment.

Just want to give a big shout out to glock22 for the amazing deal and rifle.
