Took the day and took one last attempt at the 50 yards with SK Rifle Match. It ended in more frustration and disappointment in the BMR. Time to call Bergara.
Im about to order one of these. The major thing I see here is. You might as well get up and move to a new bench for every shot. You take the rear bag out and fiddle with it and back and forth. Get a good rear bag. shoot 5 shoots down range without coming off the rifle. moving things around will cause many different angles of recoil against the bag or shoulder. I can shoot 3 shots in the same hole with my bench gun. Get up and let a new shooter shot 3 shots. It will be around a 1/2" group. Also check the actions screws for correct torque. Double check scope rings and bases. And make sure the end cap on the barrel is tight. The SK is what they seem to like. Ill test mine on a 200lb test rig out of the stock. I bet you will get much better results with it next time. Good Luck Brother
That’s good advice. I tried all those things you mentioned but putting in a fixture. Also used my Edgewood rear bag no luck. The crown was rough and not even. The chamber also appeared oblong. Waiting on Bergara to get back with me on what is wrong with it. I was a little frustrated with the BMR when I did this video. Had did 3 prior but never posted because I wanted to give them a fare shake. I hope they figure it out because it is a nice rifle. I have also tried about 5 different brands of ammo also. Even if I end up using it as critter getter.
@@BehindTheTrigger0 Stay after it. It may need recrowned. And its not impossible to get a gun that the barrel is just too far out of tune. You may need a tuner on the end of it. You should be able to measure a spent case to see if the chamber out of round. it will expand to the wall and back just enough to eject.
Didn’t think about measuring the casing. I will keep that in mind next time I have an issue with a rifle. Thanks for the constructive advise it is appreciated.
Readjusting your position and making sure your rear sling stud is on top of the rear bag for every shot is an interesting approach. Good luck with that.
Here’s the thing this is not the 1st time I shot this rifle. Before posting this video I probably put about 300 rounds down the pipe. Each time trying different ammo cleaning the barrel in between each brands, off different bags and even off different front rest. Even on a 20 mph plus wind day these groups are not acceptable for the price range. I get it no street credit. I am glad it is so easy for people to criticize others when you don’t have a full grasp of what is going on. So I propose that you do a video and show your skill Behind The Trigger!!
@@Strutingeagle Not even remotely irritated. I must not have got the memo that you know all. Now you do have the right to your opinion but does not make you right or know it all. Those that speak in a manner in which you speak about others tells me that you must put others down to make yourself feel better about your own short comings… I am well aware of mine and am not looking for approval from anyone. So criticize away if it makes you feel better and try and hold others down in your wake… with that I bid you good day Sir…
Sighted my new Begara BMR Car on in two days ago,first shots. 6-18x44 Vortex Crossfire II scope, Champion. Bipod. I used run of the mill .40 gr Aguila Duper Extra plated bullets. I ran a brush and happen through the bere and dried before firing. Fired to adjust to bullseye after looking down bore and aligniing the crosshairs (poor mans bore sighting) close to the bullseye. Shot and fine tu.ed the scope. It would NOT allow the group to print at center ran out of sdjustment 4" high and 1 1/2" right. I shit four 5 shkt groups for accuracy then. I had one 1/2", two at 5/16" and one at 3/16". These were all fired at 40 yards from a picnic table using a 4"x4"grooved blockk as my rear rest. None were close to the aiming point due to the s ope malfunction. I called Vortex utoner support talked to a really nice lady named Kate and had my return slip in my email in under 10 minutes. GREAT customer service. So, I fired a total of 80 rounds before removing and boring the scope. VERY ACCURATE RIFLE with ZERO problems and a great trigger. Begara will stand behind their rifles.an't waut to get the scope back and shoot some more. Good luck.
It was assigned to a gunsmith little over a week ago can’t wait to get it back. I have read and heard some people have had good luck with them and some not so much. I’ll keep you posted.
Holy crap. That's bad regardless. I have several custom barrels, and they take almost 5k rounds before they break in. Along with polishing compound. But.... they should not start like this. I would expect 1 moa for that price before break in.
The crown seems to have a burr around it and appears to be uneven and think there might be a head space issue also. The 1st lot of CCI SV I shot did well but bolt was hard to close. When I switched lots and ammo brands things started to head south quickly. I am going to contact Bergara to see what they say.
HI BTT. I hear your frustration! I bought a Vudoo and was having big issues with flyers. Turns out it had a bad firing pin and once they replaced that, it started to come together group wise. Sounds like you've tried other ammo as well including this SK Rifle Match (which is one of my favorite rounds) and still got similar results right? My old Tikka T1x loved ELEY ammo, but not other ammo...It was very finicky. My Vudoo likes Lapua and SK, but not other brands (It was built around the Lapua Center-X round). If you haven't already, you might make sure to: 1) Check all action screws and scope mount screws to make sure they're all at spec torque; 2) Deep clean the barrel, then run 20 rounds to just foul the barrel before your final test; 3) Hang a 5 lb weight off the fore end of the stock (under it) using even duct tape as long as it doesn't touch the barrel, so you can add some weight to the rifle while you're bench shooting. I recommend these steps because Bergara will most likely ask you about #1 and #2 when you call them and you'll have that out of the way. Hope you can get whatever is wrong right with this rifle figured out my friend...We pay all this money, these things should work right for us!
Those are good points to check out. I tried all those things you listed minus hanging weight off the stock. And yes when I called Bergara they asked me about 1 and 2. I sent it back to them and they re crowned the barrel. I have had it back about a week now and shoots a lot better. I have posted a follow up video on the results.
I took a chance with a BMR. All of my hunting buddies sold theirs long time ago. I've had many of rifles that were inconsistent, spotty and not worthy of field duty. Before I even take any of my rifles out I have the action bedded and pillars added. This might be your problem.
They ended up re crowning the barrel. Here is a link to update I did on it. Seems that a bad crown is an issue that QC misses. th-cam.com/video/RImenY6IuTQ/w-d-xo.html
Actually I really like the feel of the rifle and it is well built but for what ever reason it wouldn’t shoot. Bergara has it now and waiting to see what they say.
@@BehindTheTrigger0 Yeah, I am curious to hear what is wrong. I have had mine out to 100 yards with a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 and it was sub m.o.a with Federal Auto Match ammo.
It's not the rifle, .22lr's are finicky when it comes to the ammo. Test out multiple ammo. My Bergara loves Norma and Wolf Match Target. It absolutely will not group with Eley Match. Good luck !
It ended up being the crown. Bergara resolved the issue for me with the question in a timely manner. It definitely likes Sk line but has trouble with Eley. It is nice little rifle that is fun to take out and plink with or use for getting critters.
I just got my BMR carbon back from Bergara today actually. It shot like shit with 10 different ammos. They recrowned it and it shot SK match from 50yds 5 shot @0.449" Ill get a scope back on it and go shoot this weekend. Take a look at your crown
Yeah they have had it for a week now. No word from them yet. The crown was uneven and had sharp edges all the way around… How long did they have it for?
Been thinking about the Boyd’s thumb hole or the PDC Customs chassis. PDC just finished writing the program to machine them. So those should be available soon
Ya definitely call Bergara. This is not normal. I get better groups with my 10-22 in a Magpull stock with SK Standard + @ 50y! Maybe action screw tension?
I'm biased, if I saw that with one of mine (which I have) 1) Check/change/retighten the mounts & rings then PUT A KNOWN good scope on it. I don't care if this scope just shot great on another gun, change it. I had (have) two scopes I use for this, a fixed Leupold 24x & a 6.5-20x. Saved me grief a number of times. 2) You won't like this one, I don't care what a magnifying glass shows, recrown the damn bbl, and have a gunsmith do it with a good tool, like a pacific tool & gauge, with the proper pilots or an adjustable "spud" type pilot as an old timer used to call it. Don't use a %^*$@#!! screw head in a drill or the marble valve compound method. It's so trivial that some gunsmiths will do it while you wait. Our guy, you just slipped him $25 and it was done slicker than sh*t. We purchased many rifles that shot like crap and solved many a problem on friends rifles & target pistols doing this. I know you've tried different ammo, cleaning the bbl and you've had the action in & out of the stock, so the bedding or lack of it didn't seem like it was funky. Between myself & friends I could almost always come up with another stock to try, It's not your inconsistent bench technique because you can shoot well with other rifles with normal, smallish fliers. Every once and awhile you get a shite barrel that's terrible, but it's pretty rare.
Now right there is sound advise when troubleshooting a firearm which tells me you have been shooting for many years… people tend to look over the importance of the crown when tuning the barrel. Comments like these are much appreciated. Thank you.
Here is the problem as I see it, we ALL have done it! We raise our heads up from the stock, with poor accuracy results every time. We need to learn to remain connected to the rifle stock, period. Pursuit of Accuracy YT video, watch how he shoots, professional! And yes, I learned from Josh. There may not be anything wrong with your rifle; it may be you the shooter at fault.
It’s definitely the rifle. I know all about follow threw. I seen all shots in pack the the target … Not remotely new to shooting. Have taken several medals in BR. Before doing this video I was shooting my Bergara B14 HMR .308 at 100 yards and stacking the shots using the same set up… I also use video as a training aid to try and refine my shooting. The BMR has an uneven crown and sharp edges all round the muzzle… I believe there is also an issue with the chamber… I have shot the BMR several times and already ran through it…. Not to mention if things get out of focus it is good to look beyond the scope to regain focus again…
I emailed them 5/13/2022 and they responded back on 5/16/2022 saying it was assigned to a gunsmith on 5/12/2022 and said it could take up to 30 days from the 12th to get it back. No word since the 16th.
Okay so I just got the BMR back. Apparently UPS tried delivering it yesterday. Didn’t even get an email from BPI stating it was done and being shipped back to me. I’ll be posting a follow up video in next few days.
Such a shame to pay the big bucks for these bugeras, most i`ve seen shoot like crap, harsh shiddy bolt cycling, jams and failure to eject, then have to box it up an ship it back and hope they fix it. I`ve seen way to many people have problems with these guns. Sure glad i never went down the bugera rabbit hole. For their price, you shouldn`t have to be sending these guns back to be properly fixed. Seems they have an abundance of quality control issues. I`m pretty happy with all my CZ457`s. Never had any issues with them, ever, i can shoot one hole groups with Norma Tac22 ammo, and no cold bore fliers. My 457`s do really well with plain ole CCI standard velocity too. Occasional flier with the CCI-SV, but i expect that. Its not great ammo, but it works better than some of the other stuff out there.
The CZ 457 is definitely the way to go and definitely don’t have to worry about quality either. I already have 2 457s and will be adding a third in the near future.
Couldn’t get mine to shoot any ammo. Tried shooting off a rear BR bag, squeeze bags and so on. Last thing I wanted to do is send it back… I get it though times of high production things make it out.
@@youtang checked all the boxes that needed to be checked. The crown was uneven and chamber was oblong. Went over the same things with the customer service rep from Bergara…
I have the same gun and get better groupings with with cheap Winchesters. It isn’t the gun that isn’t accurate. You move too much in between shots. Keep your head down and leave that bag alone.

I've noticed this with him before, but he still shoots excellent to good groups with "normal" fliers, out 1/2" or so, in a lot of his other videos.

Clean the barrel sign of lead fouling
Cleaned it before I shot it each time with patch and brush.
Stop playing with your bag on every shot. If it's that bad try a different rear bag.
I tried 3 different bags prior to that. Results with the rifle was the same.
Get a TIKKA
That was a thought at the time.
If you can find one!
Got a fried that shoots? Let him shoot it. Your technique is definitely lacking sir.
I did have other people shoot the rifle their results were about the same. Those people have been shooting a lot longer then I have and are skilled shooters.
Looks like operator and not the gun
It was the gun. Sent it back to Bergara and they re-crowned it and lapped the bolt. Now it shoots well.
I'm saying it's the shooter..my Henry lever gun in .22 shoots better than that
It was the rifle. Bergara re crowd it. Shoots good now.
well the scope is the problem its chinese junk
