Description
The Bergara BXR .22 LR Semi-Auto Rifle, 16.5″ Barrel, 10rd is a precision rimfire platform built for hunters and shooters who expect more from a .22. It pairs a fluted 4140 CrMo barrel with a threaded muzzle and an integral 30 MOA Picatinny rail, giving you the reach and accuracy for small-game hunting or serious target work. The green/black speckled synthetic stock adjusts to fit any shooter, and the 10-round rotary magazine is 10/22-compatible—making this rifle as versatile as it is reliable.

Key Features
- Fluted 4140 CrMo Barrel — Reduces weight and dissipates heat faster, so you stay on target during rapid strings without point-of-impact shift. Why it matters: You get consistent accuracy shot after shot, even in a squirrel hunt or plinking session.
- Integral 30 MOA Picatinny Rail — Gives you the elevation range to stretch your .22 out to 200+ yards with a scope. Why it matters: No need for aftermarket mounts—just clamp your optic and start shooting farther, flatter.
- Threaded Muzzle (1/2×28) — Lets you attach a suppressor or muzzle brake in seconds. Why it matters: Quieter shooting means less disturbance on the ranch or at the range, and better accuracy with reduced recoil.
- Adjustable Length of Pull (Removable Spacers) — Customize the stock pull from 12.5″ to 14″ to fit youth shooters or adults with heavy coats. Why it matters: A proper fit improves your natural point of aim and reduces fatigue during long days in the field.
- 10-Round Rotary Magazine (10/22-Compatible) — Reliable feeding with no binding, and you can use your existing 10/22 mags. Why it matters: Less downtime reloading, and you don’t need to buy new magazines if you already own a 10/22.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who wants a lightweight .22 for small game like rabbits and squirrels, and for the shooter who trains with rimfire to save money on centerfire ammo. It’s also ideal for introducing new shooters—the adjustable stock and mild recoil make it a confidence builder. If you’re after a semi-auto that shoots tighter groups than a stock 10/22 out of the box, this is your gun.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Accurate fluted barrel, 30 MOA rail for long-range rimfire, threaded muzzle for suppressors, adjustable stock, 10/22 magazine compatibility.
- Cons: The stock has a bit of flex under heavy sling tension—not an issue for most hunting or range use, but something to note if you’re building a precision benchrest rig.

FAQ
Does the Bergara BXR come with a scope?
No, the BXR ships without optics. The integral 30 MOA Picatinny rail makes mounting your own scope or red dot quick and easy. Many shooters pair it with a 3-9×40 for hunting or a 1-6x for training.
Will the Bergara BXR accept aftermarket triggers?
Yes, the BXR uses a standard 10/22-style trigger group, so you can drop in triggers from Timney, Geissele, or other brands. Per Bergara specs, the factory trigger breaks at 3.5 lbs, but swapping is straightforward.
Is the Bergara BXR accurate enough for competition?
Absolutely. The fluted 4140 CrMo barrel and 30 MOA rail give you the precision for rimfire benchrest or NRL22 matches. Many shooters report sub-MOA groups with quality ammo at 50 yards.
What kind of ammo does the Bergara BXR prefer?
Like most .22s, it cycles best with high-velocity ammo (1200+ fps). For accuracy, try standard-velocity match ammo like CCI Standard Velocity or SK Rifle Match. Avoid subsonic loads for semi-auto cycling.
