22LR Bergara BMR or Ruger Precision

[Gunnersdad49]

I've got experience with the RPR (not rimfire) and Bergara HMR (also not rimfire) in the same caliber and the RPR needed a lot less fussing to get it to shoot really well. I just got into the NRL 22 stuff and went with the CZ 457 over the Bergara and Ruger options out there. They are better looking guns that just seem to have a near 100% of them with good accuracy out of the box. I saw you are looking at stuff in stock, but I think Sportsmans will ship store to store for you for free.

That’s the first I’ve heard of that. I have about 400 rounds through my RPRR and my wife’s RAR Target has about 1500 on it (with the same bolt) and we haven’t experienced this. CCI SV and SK Standard Plus, and we ain’t exactly good at keeping them clean. Any idea what was causing the issue?

From what I gather at the 22nrl matches that I have been at, it seemed that the actions were getting dirty and struggling to eject the shell. My buddy was constantly picking them out with the time running with his pocket knife. Not sure exactly why it was happening. Maybe it was some of the first models out that were having the issues. I know of 5 guys personally that had issues and sold their Ruger Precisions because of this issue.

I have heard good things about the RAR Target though. Which is odd to me that the Ruger Precision would have issues but not the Target.

Yeah i have 1000’s through mine without issue, my CA Ranger has an issue a few times each time it goes to the range.

@CHSD. 5 guys is crazy. That’s a bad deal for sure. I hope my luck continues.

I think if I was to go Bergara i’d go with the B14 since it has a Rem 700 SA footprint, I don’t think the bmr does.

The BMR does not, it is its own guy. She caught me looking for these online and no way in heck would she let me spend $1k on a 22lr

Yeah it is. It was definitely a fad gun in our 22nrl club lol. I am glad it is working out for you! I hope it continues to run like a top for you.

I was looking into picatinny risers, I think that would solve my want for being able to swap scopes back and forth from the elk rifles to the RPR.

I picked up a Savage B22 precision. For a factory gun already in a chassis for under $600, it's been a lot of fun.

Ruger has disappointed me with their QC far too many times. Begara all the way.

I’ll never forgive Ruger for their anti-2A history. I have a Bergara BMR on order.

The BMR’s are really nice for sure. I’d say they shoot just as well.

What about the Tikka T1?

 

[BLJ]

My dad has one in a KRG Bravo chassis. It shoots right with Bergara/CZ/RPR. It doesn’t seem to have the aftermarket support of the Bergara or CZ (if that’s a factor for you). But as long as you find ammo the Tikka likes, it will hang with any of the above mentioned.

It takes a normal Tikka rail, correct?
