Hunting Rimfires

BERGARA

The Spanish company announced a new B-14R rimfire series which works within the dimensions of a Rem. 700 platform allowing shooters to have a similar size and feel to their centrefire rifle. Designed as a true rimfire trainer for NRL and PRS long range .22 competition, the B-14R fits Rem. 700 compatible stocks, scope bases and triggers, allowing any shooter to customize their rifle with compatible accessories already on the market. The HMR synthetic stock has buttstock adjustable for comb height and length of pull. Single-column magazine holds 10 rounds and has the same dimensions as a standard short action AICS magazine. Available with an 18-inch barrel either steel or carbon-fibre wrapped, has muzzle threaded 1/2x28. Overall length is 38” with spacers and weight 9.25 lbs.

A new Bergara BXR semi-auto rifle is ideal for farmers and pest control shooters. It features a 30 MOA integral Picatinny rail, and 10 round rotary magazine. The BXR is compatible with certain Ruger 10/22 components such as the magazine and is available with either a chrome moly fluted barrel or carbon-fibre wrapped barrel. Category C license required.
