BERGARA - BXR 22 LR Carbon Fiber Black

Bergara BXR Carbon Fiber .22 LR Semi-Auto Rifle - Lightweight Precision, Rugged Versatility

When adaptability, lightweight design, and performance matter-but you don’t want to compromise-meet the Bergara BXR Carbon Fiber .22 LR. This semi-auto rimfire rifle takes precision craftsmanship and contemporary materials and wraps them into a flexible, shootable package that’s as at home in the field as on the range.

Performance Crafted from Bergara’s DNA

Legendarily known for their match-grade centerfire barrels, Bergara brings that same engineering to the rimfire world. The BXR Carbon model features a 16.5" carbon-wrapped steel barrel offering both heat dispersion and weight reduction-bringing the rifle’s total mass to just 4.7–5.1 pounds depending on configuration. Compact and easy to carry, yet sturdy and accurate, it reflects the precision lineage Bergara is known for.

The action sports a 3.5 lb trigger pull, delivering clean, responsive breaks perfect for plinking, training, or competition shooting. A 30 MOA Picatinny rail is integrated into the receiver, supporting both red dots and magnified optics without requiring alterations or mounts.

Compact yet adjustable, the stock features removable spacers that provide over an inch of length-of-pull customization-ensuring fit for a wide range of shooters.

A 10-round rotary magazine-compatible with Ruger 10/22 mags-offers smooth operation, and the threaded muzzle (1/2‑28 with protector) invites suppression or muzzle device upgrades.

Riding the Rimfire Wave: Lightweight This Matters

Weighing in at under five pounds, the BXR Carbon is refreshingly light-more so than traditional 10/22 designs and even lighter rimfire chassis rifles. That weight, paired with excellent balance, translates into nimble and intuitive target acquisition. One reviewer noted it as “superbly lightweight, accurate…and cheaper than a similar factory-custom build.” Gun Tests+10Rifle Shooter+10Northwest Firearms+10

Range feedback indicates tight groups-some shooters have reported sub‑MOA performance at 50 yards using high-quality ammo like Eley Match, though feeding can be ammo-sensitive and benefit from starting with match-grade rounds for break-in.

How It Differs from the M&P 15 Sport III

The BXR Carbon serves as a dedicated precision rimfire tool-ultralight, highly configured for rimfire delivery, and carrying features aimed at compact performance rather than modular tactical flexibility.

TCases, Hunting, and Youth Training: What Shooters Say

Outdoor reviewers highlight its homage to mass-market and boutique-quality rifles, calling it "a feature-rich rifle without a boutique price tag." Plinking, small-game hunting, and youth training programs benefit greatly from its reduced weight and simplified ergonomics.

The adjustable LOP stock earns praise in forums as especially friendly for smaller hands or youth shooters, while still offering sufficient structure for adult users.
