[SHOT 2025] Bergara's New Rifles For 2025

Over the last few years, Bergara has moved from being an unknown company in the United States to being a staple on gun store shelves. Their lineup is expansive and includes all sorts of rifles. The newest models are optimized for precision rimfire shooters.

SHOT 2025 @ TFB:

• [SHOT 2025] Lipsey's New Exclusive Wheelguns For 2025
• [SHOT 2025] Barrett Firearms Adds New MRAD Barrel Options
• [SHOT 2025] EOtech's Itty Bitty 3-9x32 Scope

There are two new BMR-X rimfire rifles in the lineup this year, one with a steel barrel and one with a carbon fiber barrel. These differ from the existing BMR series by having more target-oriented stocks and heavier barrel contours. Bergara uses a match chamber on these barrels, which prioritizes precision. A 30-moa scope mount is standard for scope mounting while maintaining more available elevation adjustment on the scope.

The BMR-X also includes a 10-round magazine for additional capacity, which is helpful when running a match stage. But precision rimfire competitors are not the only group that benefits from the features of the BMR-X. Versions in .22 WMR and .17 HMR are also coming, which is great news for varmint hunters as well. Those shooters also need precision and heavy barrel profiles that stay accurate through high round counts.

From the manufacturer:

The Bergara BMR-X Carbon is purpose-built for small game hunters seeking precision, portability, and ergonomic excellence. Featuring the lightweight yet durable carbon fiber barrel, this rifle offers the ideal balance for field carry and quick, precise shots. The adjustable length-of-pull (LOP) stock, vertical grip, included 30 MOA rail, and flat forend deliver unmatched control and customization, ensuring comfort and accuracy in every scenario.

Powered by the scaled-down Bergara Micro Rimfire action and a precision match chamber, the BMR-X Carbon delivers unparalleled performance in its class. With its lighter build and premium features, it’s the perfect choice for hunters looking for precision without compromise.
