Contessa Picatinny Rail for Bergara Scout

About Picatinny Rail

The Picatinny rail system features slots spaced at precise 5.23 mm intervals, enabling consistent and versatile use along its entire length. This system is designed for ease of mounting and is universally compatible; accessories designed for a Picatinny rail will fit seamlessly, irrespective of the manufacturer or the date of production. Known for its affordability, durability, and reliability, the Picatinny rail is a popular choice among professionals and military personnel, making it a dominant player in the scope mounts market in recent years.
The Picatinny design marks a significant advancement over the older Weaver standard. Unlike the Weaver system, which offers only a few predetermined slots, the Picatinny rail boasts continuous slots across its surface. This feature provides the flexibility to mount devices at any preferred location. Additionally, the slots on a Weaver rail are narrower, at 3.8 mm, allowing mounts designed for Weaver rails to fit on a Picatinny rail. However, mounts specifically made for Picatinny rails do not fit on Weaver rails due to the size difference of recoil stoppers. This compatibility and versatility make the Picatinny rail a superior mounting solution in various applications.

About the Bergara

Bergara originates from the town of Bergara, Spain, and is recognized globally as one of the finest barrel manufacturers. This reputation is largely thanks to the influence of Ed Shilen, a legendary U.S. barrel designer who helped set up Bergara's factory to produce high-quality barrels at low production costs. Bergara manufactures a variety of firearm designs and outdoor equipment, quickly gaining market presence due to their excellent quality and affordability. 

About the Scout

The Bergara Scout is a single-shot, break-action rifle that was previously produced but is no longer in production. It features an exceptionally light and short barrel, only 51 cm (20 inches) in length, contributing to the rifle's overall low weight of 2.8 kg (about 6.2 lbs). The barrel is fluted, further reducing the weight. Notably, the rifle has four drilled and tapped holes for mounting purposes, designed to accommodate scope attachments closely together. The rifle's stock is made entirely of polymer, including models that mimic a wood appearance. It is suitable for both left-handed and right-handed shooters due to ambidextrous design elements like the cheek rest​​.

Mounting Instructions

Remove all the stains (grease, oil etc.) from the rifle's receiver with a cleaning fluid (acetone). Once the surface is clean and dry, check whether the screws match the rail and the holes on the receiver. Before mounting the rail permanently, apply a minimal amount of thread-locking fluid 278 or 648 on screws. Be careful not to get the fluid in or near the mounting holes. Carefully clean the remaining excess fluid around the rail with a cleaning fluid. Using a torque driver, screw the screws appropriately (up to 3 Nm/26.5 in-lbs).
