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.

Scope Mounts Interchangeable With Bergara B14 SA
Rifles That Have One-Piece Scope Mounts Interchangeable With Bergara B14 SA
First, we are going to list all the rifles, which have all the mounts interchangeable with Bergara B14 SA. Necessary condition for mounts to be interchangeable between rifles is that the mounting surfaces of
these rifles match in every dimension.
Rifles That Have Two-Piece Mounts Interchangeable With Bergara B14 SA
The second group of mounts which can be interchangeable between rifles are two-piece mounts. Rifles that have interchangeable only two-piece mounts must match in every dimension except the B
dimension (see the above image). This is because two-piece mounts can be installed closer or further apart.
There is not a lot of choice for fixed mounts for this rifle, so we would advise the customers to first install a Picatinny rail on the receiver and then install a fixed mount of choice from the vast supply of fixed mounts for Picatinny
rails.
If we would have to, however, recommend one fixed mount for direct installation on Bergara B14 SA, it would be Dinpal two-piece mount. It is designed for Remington 700, but since the Bergara B14 receiver is based on the
receiver of Remington 700, the mount will fit perfectly.
Detachable Repeatable Scope Mounts for Bergara B14 SA:
In contrast to the lack of choice of fixed mounts for the rifle, there are plenty of options for detachable repeatable mounts and one of the most appropriate for B14 SA would be the Rusan pivot mount.
Picatinny Rails for Bergara B14 SA:
Just like with detachable repeatable mounts, there is plenty of choice for the Bergara B14 SA rifle if one is looking for a Picatinny rail. One example of Picatinny rail that would fit this rifle well is the Contessa
Picatinny rail.
The Picatinny rail also matches the rifle receiver in material and that is important if we look at it from the mechanical perspective.
