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.

Which rifles have interchangeable mounts?

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

There are no fixed mounts named specifically for Bergara BA13, but the mounting surface of Bergara Scout is exactly the same, so mounts named for Bergara Scout will also fit on Bergara BA13. The only fixed mounts for this rifle 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 a steel one because of mechanical reasons. Rusan Picatinny rail would be a good choice for this rifle because it is made of steel.

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

For your help, our company offers a fair return in terms of practical rewards.
