Picked up a Bergara BMR 22LR the other day, mounted a Leupold 2x7 RF scope and off to the range to sight it in.
At 25 yards, the first 3 shots were touching each other but left of POA by 2” and down 2”. Cranked the sight over and up, it was dead on.
Great trigger … out of the box at 2.5# and crisp.
Shooting Federal Target loads and Aguila Standard Velocity loads with no difference in accuracy.
Was going to take a Ruger 10/22 HB Target (“spiral” barrel W/laminated stock) out but grabbed the Ruger 10/22 Sporter with a 1.5x4 Leupold AR Scope. Had not shot this Sporter in 13 or so years. First 3 shots were in the X touching each other. Didn’t matter what ammo.
Love shooting the Bergara. Has a full size rifle feel … much to do with the size of the bolt. Like I mentioned, the trigger is light and crisp. Once dialed in, awesome rifle. At some point I plan to put a suppressor on it.
The Ruger is hard to beat. Super accurate despite a heavy (5.5#) trigger. After shooting the Bergara, I thought the safety was on. No bolt to crank so it’s just put the crosshairs on the target and press the trigger so it’s easy to stay on target.
Really forgot how much fun 22’s are to shoot.
