About the Bergara

The Bergara company originates from the Spanish town Bergara. The company is known around the world as one of the finest barrel manufacturers. This acknowledgement goes, to a large extent, to Ed Shilen, a legendary barrel designer from the U.S., who was Chief Instructor for the United States Marine Corps Precision Weapons Section, as he helped Bergara set up a factory that would produce high-quality barrels with low production costs. They produce firearms of different designs and for different fields of use, along with various accessories and outdoor equipment. They quickly found their place on the market thanks to great quality and affordable prices. Altogether, they have more than 50 distributors, which means their products are easily acquirable throughout the world, especially in Europe.

Bergara Scout Rifle Review

Bergara Scout is a single shot, break action rifle, which is no longer in production. The barrel of the rifle is extra short, only 51 cm (20 in) long, therefore it is also light, weighing only 2,8 kg (6,2 lbs). One characteristic that adds to this low weight of the rifle is the fluted barrel. All of the Scout stocks are made of polymer, even those, which look like made of wood. It is made for lefthanded and righthanded shooters because the cheek rest is on the left and the right side.

Bergara also produces a similar BA13 break action rifle, the differences between the two are different barrel lengths, different buttstock patterns and the design of the butts themselves.

It is chambered for:

.222 Rem
.270 Win
.30-06
.308 Winchester
6.5x57R

Bergara Scout has 4 drilled and tapped holes for mounting purposes. Compared to the bolt action rifles, which have ejection port and the hole positioned in 2 pairs, this rifle has all 4 holes very close to each other, with the dimensions between the front 2 holes and the rear two holes being the same, so these are also two pairs of some sort, just not as obvious as with the classic bolt action rifles.

Which rifles have interchangeable mounts?

Bergara Scout has exactly the same mounting surface as Bergara BA13, so mounts for Scout will also fit BA13 and vice versa.

Our recommendation for mounts

To install mounts on this rifle, we would recommend to first install a Picatinny rail, as the supply for the bare mounting surface for this rifle is very limited.

Fixed mounts

The only fixed mounts for this rifle without a Picatinny rail are Contessa QR mounts.

Picatinny rails

Picatinny rail is installed on top of the steel barrel, therefore the perfect Picatinny rail for this rifle would be made of steel because of the matching physical properties of the materials. Rusan Picatinny rail would be a good choice for this rifle because it is made of steel. The mount is named for Bergara BA13, but it will also fit Bergara Scout.

More information on the mechanical properties and the difference between steel and aluminium Picatinny rail can be found in our article here.

Help us build our riflescope mounts database

If you happen to own this or any other rifle, we would appreciate it if you could help us expand our database by sending us some photos of the rifle receiver (the bare mounting surface of the rifle without the mounts installed). For your help, our company offers a fair return in terms of practical rewards.

There are two terms found for similar thing: quick release scope mounts and quick detach scope mounts. Term quick release scope mounts is used mostly in Europe and quick detach scope mounts is used mainly in USA, although they mean the same thing. With these terms we describe a scope mount that can be quickly removed from the rifle in the field without using any tools and quickly attached back on the rifle when needed.

Main advantages:

possibility to use multiple scopes on the rifle,
easy transportation of the scope and the rifle separately,
if scope fails, it is possible to immediately detach it and use iron sights.

FIXED vs DETACHABLE scope mounts

Fixed scope mounts are mounted to the rifle with screws and sometimes even with glue. This means that it is impossible to attach or detach the scope mount using bare hands without using tools. It also means that they are not meant for constantly being attached on or detached off the rifle. Once you screw the mount on the rifle, it normally stays there for a longer period of use.

Detachable scope mounts offer possibility to attach or detach them without using any tools. This is extremely handy while transporting the rifle and the scope separately and it also offers multiple solutions of different optics on the same rifle. Detachable scope mounts can be attached or detached from the rifle in a matter of seconds, using bare hands.

DETACHABLE vs REPEATABLE scope mounts

It is important to know and understand expressions “detachable” and “repeatable” while talking about scope mounts. Term detachable scope mounts implies scope mounts that can be quickly attached or detached without using any tools. However, when you detach this kind of mount and attach it back on the rifle, it is recommended to zero the rifle before using it again. Procedure of detaching and again attaching the mount will probably need a sighting in before next shooting, because mount will not be secured on the rifle in the perfectly same position and conditions as it was before detaching it off the rifle.

On the contrary, repeatable scope mounts are most sophisticated mounts. These scope mounts are also detachable, however – they provide removing scope from the rifle and attaching it back again without zeroing the rifle every time. This means that they are made more precisely and that they are offering a possibility of using different optical sights / scope on the same rifle. These mounts are ideal for hunters who can use optical and iron sights interchangeably, depending on the needs in different situations. With the repeatable scope mounts, it is useful to keep them oiled as well as the upper part of the rifle, so that repeatability is more ensured. With a touch of oil, the repeatability might be better, because parts of the mount will always return to their previous locations.

Different types of repeatable scope mounts:

Pivot mounts,
Dentler mounts,
Picatinny repeatable mounts,
12 mm dovetail repeatable mounts (for break barrel rifles, such as Steyr Duett, Blaser B750, Fair Combi, Fair SLX 800, Bettinsoli rifles, etc.),
Original repeatable mounts, made by manufacturers of rifles for their rifles (Blaser mount, Sauer SUM mount, Mauser M03 mount, Steyr Monoblock mount, etc.).

TIP OFF / ROLL OFF vs SLIDE ON mounts

Nowadays, there are a whole lot of different possibilities, made for attaching riflescopes on the rifles. There are also a lot of different expressions, having the same meaning. It is good to know that tip off and roll off mounts are basically the same thing. They represent quick release scope mounts for dovetails and rails which can be rolled or tipped off the rail vertically to the side of the rail. On the contrary, there are also slide on mounts available on the market. They represent quick release scope mounts that can be slided on or off the rail or dovetail from front or rear side of the rail / dovetail. All of these expressions are mainly used for separate rings that can be attached to the rails / dovetails. As far as functioning the rifle, it does not matter which one of these mounts you choose – tip / roll off or slide on mounts. If they are installed correctly, they are all going to work. However, the main difference between them is the principle of attaching them on rails on dovetails.
