Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Bergara BMR Micro accurate enough for competition shooting?
The BMR Micro features a dedicated match chamber machined to tight tolerances specifically for precision rimfire accuracy. Combined with the adjustable Remington 700-style trigger and a rigid steel barrel, the BMR is engineered to minimize group sizes and deliver consistent, repeatable performance — exactly what NRL22 and rimfire match competitors demand.
Can I use a suppressor with the Bergara BMR Micro 17 HMR?
Yes. The BMR Micro's steel barrel is threaded at 1/2x28, which is the standard thread pitch for most rimfire and 17 HMR suppressors available on the market. This makes it straightforward to mount a compatible suppressor for reduced noise and muzzle blast during hunting or range sessions.
What is the difference between the 5-round and 10-round BMR magazines?
Bergara designed the slimline BMR magazine in two capacities to suit different applications. The 5-round magazine is well-suited for hunting situations where a lower profile and lighter carry weight are preferred. The 10-round magazine is ideal for rimfire competitions like NRL22, where having more rounds on hand between reloads can improve your stage performance and overall match experience.
