Great casual stock. Issue is no sling studs or way to attach anything without drilling your own holes.
No cheek riser so only worked for me with like red dots.
But it is pretty.

Bill you also have the Competition 10/22 right? I'd be curious how they compare.
Short answer: keep the Competition, skip the BXR002.
I had a bad experience with CCI green tag 2 years ago. Any random lot of CCI SV would outperform it in my Savage B22 SV-SR. I decided if I was going to spend that much on 22LR ammo, I'd just go with a better brand.
Ya positive. New shooter. Been helping him with fundamentals the past month.You sure he didn't send it off to Randy at CPC for a tune-up?

Do you think at some point they will offer a BDX as a bolt action? Just curious on thoughts
This looks great I wonder how it will compare to the other 700 patern .22 out there?.22 in a B-14 bolt version
Bergara said they hope to be shipping their B14-R bolt action trainer rifle in December!!. I already have one on backorderBeen waiting for Bergara to release a bolt 22lr for what seems like forever. I truly hope it’s been worth the wait and can hang with other high end trainers out there. I love my B-14’s and if it’s anything like them, the out of the box price/performance/features are a bargain
I dont see why it wouldnt, as Bergara advertises standard 10/22 trigger packs. I've got a BXR001 if anyone wants to send me a Kidd trigger to tryDoes the Kidd trigger work in the BXR 002? Kidd said it won't work.
Any more range reports? Especially with the CF barreled ones?
Local store has one and it's tempting but for a little more you can get a kidd and drop it in a hogue

I have the BXR with CF barrel. After 1000 rounds, it's not very accurate. First off, get a Ruger mag because the Bergara ones don't work very well; ftf on the last round was common. Second, replace the buffer pin with an aftermarket one, as they self destruct after a few hundred rounds.
I admit I haven't tried every brand of ammo and as I don't compete, I don't use match grade. Every rimfire rifle I own out shoots the Bergara. It shoots 3/4 - 1" at 50 and completely falls apart at 100. I don't shoot it much lately; I bought a CZ 457 PV and it's been a tack driver from the start.
The BXR CF is a cool looking rifle, it's light, shoots minute of fat squirrel at 50 yds and I really like the stock. It will be a carry around rifle.
Hopefully mine is an outlier and most will be ok. There's reports of CZ 457's that fall short but mine is great. It seems rimfires can be a crap shoot.
When these were first released I was pretty optimistic since most Bergara rifles seem to be shooters. I though about buying one of the steel barreled rifles for my wife. After hearing about all the magazine and accuracy issues I’m defiantly going to wait until they get the bugs worked out or just build one myself. It does seem like all the accuracy issues are reported with the CF models. Does anyone have some accuracy reports on the steel barrels? There may have been some on here that I just missed. Maybe Bergara has the center fire barrels figured out but just can’t master the rimfire barrel.
I have shot several boxes through my BRX02 now, I have a suppressor on it and with Wolf it will shoot 10 shots you can cover with a dime at 35 yards rapid fire. I started having misfires and failure to feed until I gave it a bath in an air gun spray lube, I think it is TSR something or another. Cleaner and lube, the crap trigger is smoothing out as well.
The Aquila boxed Eley Prime shoot well too.
Good to know. Any 50 yard 5 shot groups?
Not yet, I hope to get some longer range time this weekend, my job interferes with my play time, I have some more ammo samples coming today
I just picked up a Bergara BXR 001 for $499 and have not had it to the range yet.
Couple of questions if any knows the answers.
1. the stock has matching dimples on either side...indicating a possibility of an add on adjustable cheek riser???
2. the rear of receiver has some drilled holes with the center one tapped...I'm guessing maybe a fastening point for a rear mounting lug???
I have one that shoots bug holes, it is picky about feeding, too many failures to feed standard velocity ammo, been windy and cold so I have put it on hold, I can spray it down with an air gun light lube spray and it works for a magazine or 2, hoping it will break in and act right. Also going to try the TCR magazines, I really wish it had a bolt lock mechanism, even the TCR mags don't lock it back when empty. The trigger is horrible as well. It will shoot a heck of good group at 50 and 100 though. But then so will my Savage MarkII that I have many $$$ less in.Any other range reports on the BXR 001 or 002? They cant all be bad right?

This was like a piece of tape, I will look at the buffer pin. I use Ruger 10/22 mags already, I bought a couple of the T/C rotary mags to try, they will fall out when you release them no hesitation, they appear to be much better built but more expensive.Your buffer pin lasted longer than mine; it was toast by 500 rounds. The white sliver might be from the buffer pin; mine would shave off white flakes every time I took it in or out. I replaced it with an aftermarket pin for a 10/22 and it is much better than the factory one.
Have you tried a ruger mag? Switching solved all my feeding issues.
I'm glad yours shoots good, most of the BXR002's are mediocre at best. Mine is no exception.
I bought this BXR 001 in late January, after patiently waiting for them to become available.
"Mediocre at best", as Sgt47 described above, sums it up pretty well.
Mediocre accuracy, and mediocre functionality.
I think Bergara is headed in the right direction, but they need to pay closer attention to the
little details that make these rifles run smoothly and accurately.
I've done more than a few 10/22 builds, and then bought a Kidd Supergrade.
Told myself afterwards, "No more pissing around with 10/22 builds!"
I sold the BXR to a co-worker, this morning, ......
Does the barrel shoot any better with the kidd bolt?I am almost in the same boat, installed the Kidd recoil buffer, guide rod and spring set, 2 stage Kidd trigger, now the Kidd bolt. I still have a nice Bergara stock and carbon fiber barrel...
Does the barrel shoot any better with the kidd bolt?
btw if you ever think about selling the stock IM me
I have been shooting the BXR001 with excellent groups, but failure to feed is an issue, and I had what I think was an out of battery miss fire.Been doing some research but can't find an answer. Is the trigger pull adjustable on the BXR? Anyone shooting any good groups with these guns?
The trigger is not adjustable.I like the trigger, some takeup but good let off at 3 or less poundsBeen doing some research but can't find an answer. Is the trigger pull adjustable on the BXR? Anyone shooting any good groups with these guns?
Thank you I did exactly that, and better, the bence barrel is very tight which is what I think the ftf problem is about.I have one now. I haven't been able to put together great groups, though I haven't shot it too much yet and the trigger is alot different than on my t1x. Glad to hear you have a shooter! As you may have seen around the forum, it's possible a Ruger 10/22 magazine will solve most of your failure to feed issues. I have only ran cci SV out of mine, and it doesn't jam often.
