SHOT Show 2025: NEW Rifles from Bergara & 7mm Backcountry

I’ve had a blast putting together a 6GT with Bergara’s new barreled actions and crafting a 7mm SAUM around a Bergara premier action. Bergara’s Collin Russell followed along for both and took some time to walk me through 2025’s new rifles!

About the Bergara BMR-X Carbon

Earlier this year, Bergara launched their BMR-X rimfire series.

I had the pleasure of testing the BMR-X Carbon in .22 LR with exceptional results.

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.

The Bergara BMR-X Steel is the ultimate rimfire rifle for competitive shooters and precision plinkers. Its heavy #6 profile steel barrel provides the stability and weight needed for steady, consistent shots, making it ideal for rimfire series competitions.

The BXR-inspired stock offers an adjustable length-of-pull, vertical grip, and flat forend, providing the same ergonomic feel as Bergara’s full-size precision rifles at a more accessible price. With the reliable Bergara Micro Rimfire action, included 30 MOA rail, match chamber, and externally adjustable Bergara Performance Trigger, the BMR-X Steel is designed to deliver competition-level performance for shooters who demand the best in accuracy and affordability.

You asked, we listened. The Bergara BMR (Bergara Micro Rimfire) is for those that demand the best and expect nothing short of perfection. With the option of either a 5rd magazine for hunting or a 10rd magazine for running stages at your favorite rimfire match, we designed the BMR from the ground up with field and match performance in mind.

The BMR fits the bill of the base class within the NRL22 series and offers a match chamber with world-class accuracy. It’s also lighter (especially the carbon barreled version) and easier to carry in the field for small game pursuits. We’ve expanded the calibers available beyond .22 LR to include .17 HMR and .22 WMR so you can match your round to your application.
