Bergara has built a well-deserved reputation for producing bolt-action rifles that deliver precision accuracy at prices that make serious shooters take notice. The Bergara BXR series brings that same Spanish craftsmanship and barrel-making expertise to the rimfire category — giving competitive rimfire shooters and training-focused buyers a dedicated platform built around the specific demands of accurate rimfire shooting rather than just adapting a centerfire action to smaller cartridges.
Purpose-Built Rimfire Performance
The Bergara Rimfire BXR platform is not a centerfire action scaled down to accept a rimfire cartridge. It is a purpose-built rimfire system designed from the start around the accuracy requirements and mechanical characteristics of rimfire cartridges. That distinction matters more than most shooters initially realize — a rimfire action designed specifically for rimfire use feeds more reliably, headspaces more consistently, and delivers better accuracy potential than a converted centerfire platform running the same cartridges.
Caliber Options That Cover Rimfire Applications
The Bergara 22 LR configuration is the natural starting point for the BXR lineup — the most common and most versatile rimfire cartridge available, perfect for competition, small game hunting, and high-volume training at a fraction of centerfire ammunition costs. The Bergara B14 22LR builds on the proven B-14 platform that centerfire Bergara shooters know and trust, bringing that same trigger quality and action smoothness to the rimfire world.
The Bergara 17 HMR configuration steps up for shooters who want more velocity and reach from their rimfire platform — delivering flat trajectories and outstanding terminal performance on varmints and small game at distances where 22LR starts running out of energy and accuracy.
For precision competition shooters, the Bergara competition rifle BXR configurations offer the accuracy, trigger quality, and consistency that rimfire benchrest and precision rimfire competition demands. The Bergara B-14 R is the dedicated rimfire competition platform that serious shooters have been reaching for since its introduction.
Training Value for Centerfire Shooters
One of the most practical applications for the Bergara B-14 BXR series is as a training platform for centerfire precision shooters. The Bergara 22 Creedmoor concept of training on a similar action with dramatically lower ammunition costs makes the BXR series a smart investment for precision shooters who want to keep their skills sharp between matches and hunting seasons without the ammunition expense that centerfire training demands.
Bergara Barreled Actions
The Bergara Barreled actions option gives custom rifle builders access to the same premium Bergara barrel quality in a configuration ready for stock fitting and final assembly.
