Bergera

[brybenn]

Been watching the bergera bxr 22lr ads and to be honest im quite interested. Price seems a little high but still be cheaper than building a 1022.
However i keep reading the bxr is the first of their rimfire models. Does anyone have any info on whats in the works from bergera?

Rifles are expected to release at the end of summer so we should hear about them soon. Bergara barrel on a rigid receiver that seems promising!

Do these guys make anything original? The centerfire is a 95% Remington 700 clone, and now we have a $1000 10/22 clone. Did Norinco buy them out or something?

If they put a really nice stock trigger and barrel on probably the most popular footprints in the world is this not a good thing. Companies have been copying rem and ruger for ever but these guys make them better, how is this a problem

Why not?

Something else worthy of note on these... the barrels are threaded into the reciever.

It's a smart move. Then aftermarket and existing parts will fit.

I cant stand the waiting for pre orders but i think ill take a serious look at these while waiting to see if they make a bolt action with wood stock

 

[scuba52]

I don’t think you will see a wood stock from them

Second on that note!

They have wood stocked centerfires so one can hope if they jump into the bolt action rimfire market theyll bring a lil more class than whats available.

Right now its a choice between cz and cooper or ansultz. That leaves quite the gap. But i havent been able to find out what other platforms are coming from bergera. My google fu is weak perhaps but they mention this semi auto is their first model with more to come

Sorry you are correct, their only product I have seen uses the composites,

No worries. At this point all i can do is hope. They do make some fine centerfire rifles

It has the same footprint as the 10/22... just pick your favorite walnut stock and run with it

Theyve mentioned several times they have other things in the works. Im hoping for a wood stocked bolt gun but havent found out what they have planned
