Bergara BMR?

[Sharp Guy]

Looks like it'll be a nice choice for NRL22 base class

Like the B-14R it'll be available in steel or CF wrapped barrels. Rem 700 style trigger too

Looks like the magazine is a lot smaller also - which corrects a hugely ugly visual problem - for my thinking anyway.... My question now is.... does it fit a 700 stock. So what it appears to be is a 40X repeater for under $600.00 MSRP. If these are decent quality they will sell them by the ton.

The ad says it comes with a 5 and 10 round magazine. Not sure which mag is pictured. Not sure if the receiver is a 700 foot print. I would think they'd advertise that if it was

Looks nice regardless. I'm very happy with my T1x and I've also been considering a B-14R or maybe even V22 some time in the future. I'll be watching closely to see what people are saying about this BMR

With all these new options it's a good time to be a rimfire fan

5 round in the top picture. Scroll down a bit and see the 10 rd.

I have a steel barrel on mine and it came with a 10 rebound mag. I dropped in a Jewell’s 700 trigger.

You have a BRM or a B14R...?

It’s a B14-R

Only the trigger is Rem700. Nothing else.

I just noticed the barrel contours are different between the CF & steel versions. The chromoly version has a #4 taper and the CF has a #5. I like the appearance of the CF barrel but I think I'd prefer the little extra weight of the steel barrel. Either one is still pretty light. If I buy one I'll help to justify it (if only in my mind) by telling my girl this one's for her to shoot

. Stock might be a little long for her though. She shoots my 10-22 with Kidd ULW barrel now that's in a Hogue OM stock. She's a small woman. So it's a little long for her. Maybe they'll offer an optional shorter butt pad? I'd like to get her shooting a bolt gun. So hopefully it'll work out

Looks to me to be the same approximate size as the CZ, TIKKA or any other of the mainstream rimfire "sized" guns available.

Any word on when these are available ?

The promotional posts on Bergara's IG feed just say coming soon

I contacted Bergara about the BMR footprint, the only Remington 700 compatibility is with the trigger. It is not the same action as the B14R, it is a slimmed down action with a proprietary footprint.

I can't speak on the BMR but the carbon fiber barrel on the B14R is not wrapped. It's a tensioned steel tube.

The barrel on the B-14R CF appears to be about the same diameter as the steel version. Since the CF version is about a 1# lighter I assumed that the the steel part of the barrel was a smaller diameter that's wrapped in a CF jacket. Maybe wrapped is the wrong word? Sleeved? Coated?

Same with the BMR. Based on the pictures and specs the CF barrel is actually a thicker contour than the steel version (#6 vs #4 taper). Is the CF coating not "wrapped" on that one? How would you better describe it?

I'm honestly interested in learning the correct nomenclature here

If a barrel is wrapped, the material that is used to wrap the sleeve is bonded to the sleeve and it becomes 1 piece. A sleeved barrel liner just slides in and just has nut of some sort that puts tension on the liner. That's nothing new. I think my Colt M4 .22 barrel is made that way.
