this is my choice and had a mixed feeling on what to pick CZ 457 american bolt or this? thanks for dis/assemble in details.
Very cool break down!! Thank you for taking the time to walk us through it.
Thanks for watching!
Any idea how to replace the extractor?
thank you my bolt will not go to cocking position HELP
It's just difficult. I prefer to put the bolt body in a soft jaw vice, but you could also use pliers and a leather belt for more leverage.
Hey brother, good video and thanks for the shout out.
Your definitely more well versed in the bergara world than me..........of course......if bergara is watching.......send me a b14r to have on the channel 😁😁
Thanks for watching! You're definitely more polished! We should do a stream together sometime!
@@darrondb for sure. When you up for doing one
hi Darron havent been out to shoot a nrl 22 for about a year, I"m going to come out with Dustin this spring
Sounds good!! Merry Christmas,!
Nice video seen your video with Josh the other night Iam torn between the b14 and the cz457 . I got the rpr because I just didn’t know any better it shoots well . Not like these guns
Both the cz and Bergara are solid. The Bergara was me e choice simply because if the rem 700 platform. Thanks for watching!!!
Any word on left-handed models?
Nothing yet
The owner's manual shows iron sights in the exploded parts diagram. Hopefully that means a version with said sights on the rifle is in the works for the future.
I noticed that too... not aware of an open sights version but that would be cool!
My bolt cocking/decocking is EXTREMELY stiff. There is no way that it will ever be as smooth as all of the BMRs I've seen in action on TH-cam. Also, the bolt handle binds badly in the action/channel when moving it down and up out of the locked position. Every video I've seen, the bolt handle moves very smoothly and easily in the locking channel, or whatever it is called in the receiver. Some of the Cerakote has already worn off the bolt handle, is this normal? Or, do I have to send this BMR back for service/adjustment? I can't believe Bergara sent a rifle out like this.
Just found your site while looking for a Bergara 22. I really enjoy your calm and cool method of communicating. At 78, I don't speed listen any more.
Been set on a B14R but after seeing this on the BMR and Josh's info it brings up the question: Is the B14R really worth the extra 3-400 dollars for backyard shooting? I would be interested in your opinion.
Looking forward to more of your work. JimE
Thanks for watching!! In my opinion, the b14r worth the extra cost. Nothing wrong with the BMR for plinking though
@@darrondb Thank you for the quick reply.
Wrong answer though.🤣😁🤣 Darn
If you would, please expand on the added value for the price. Thanks again.
JimE
Do you where I can buy extra mags?
They're not selling magazines separately yet :(
Thanks for sharing this useful info!
Thanks for watching!!
I can’t get the bolt back in what am doing wrong
Likely it came uncocked. Hold the back half and rotate the handle to the cocked position
@@darrondb It wont budge do I need super force
Really like the looks of this gun and how it shoots. As soon as they make a lefthanded version i will buy one, as both the wife and i are southpaws. I know they make yhe b14r in lefthand but my limited veterans budget precludes that particular rifle at this time. I wish these companies would consider southpaws more than they do. There are a lot more of us these days.
Hopefully left hand comes soon! Unfortunately from the manufacturing and market side, left hand is a relatively small seller so sometimes it's hard justify the production costs. Thanks for watching!!!!
Whats the long term feedback on the bolt? Significant improvement with buffing? Or does it just flat suck?
Much much better after 500 rounds
Is this controlled feed like the b14r?
Excellent appraisal
Thanks for watching!!
bolt shroud disassemble is far easier than the video shows, just apply equal pressure on the front and rear of the shroud
I'll agree that now after some use it is much easier. When I made this video it was brand new and extremely tight. It might have just been this one though. Thanks for watching!!
do you feel there would be any need or advantage to bedding the action?
I don't think it would make much difference unless you piller bedded and stiffened the forend
Cool video. Is it dry fire safe?
Bergara recommends not dry firing, but I have done it hundreds of times knowing that if anything happens I can just get a replacement firing pin
@@darrondb what about impacting the chamber face
It's conceivable that you may eventually dimple the chamber face by dry firing, but with competition guns, the benefits of dry firing far outweigh this possibility. Of course, using snap caps would mitigate this
@@darrondb Can you order a firing pin, or do you have to return the rifle to Bergara for a warranty claim? Thanks
If you break one, call Bergara and they will send a replacement. You don't have to send the rifle in
Thanks for the nice video. I just got mine in last week and noticed the slight roughness in the action also. What did you use to polish the magazine guide and the letters on the bottom of the bolt?
I started when emery cloth and then up to 1000 grit sand paper
@@darrondb 10-4. Thanks for the info. I will definitely be polishing those engravings tonight.

Whatever makes you happy 😁

Darn right!!
Just picked up this rifle today, so this vid is extremely appreciated 👏
Hope you love it!! Reach out if you have questions!
BERGARA CAN DO BETTER WHEN USEING MY BERGARA BMR 17 HMR WILL TAKE MY VICE AND PIPE WRENCH NEXT TIME SENT MY BOLT TO BERGARA 10 7 22 NOTHING YET ALSO HAVE A 243 BERGARA RIDGE GREAT GREAT RIFLE
Thanks for the video. Any idea where I can get spare bolt parts for the BMR such as firing pin, extractors, etc.?
The only source will be direct from Bergara.
@@darrondb Thanks Darron. It seems they will only provide parts after a warranty claim is filed. Worry that process would take a long time. Was hoping some of these parts were also used on other guns.
