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 B14 LA Rifle Review

Bergara B14 LA (long action) is a bolt action rifle, which is based on the famous Remington 700 action. B14 is available in both, short and long action lengths. Bolt is designed with two locking lugs, while the action is of push feed style. Rifle's trigger is basically the same as that of Remington and it has weight and pull adjustments. Barrel length differs depending on the calibre and it can be 51, 56 or 61 cm (20, 22 or 24 in) long.

Which rifles have interchangeable mounts?

First, we are going to list all the rifles, which have all the mounts interchangeable with Bergara B14 LA. A necessary condition for mounts to be interchangeable between rifles is that the mounting surfaces of these rifles match in every dimension. Rifles that have the same mounting surface as Bergara B14 LA are:

  • Remington 700 LA, 721, 725, 40x LA

  • Haenel Jager 10

  • Sauer 100, Sauer 101

  • Mauser M18

  • Bergara Premier series rifles (LA)

The second group of mounts which are 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. Rifles that have interchangeable two-piece mounts with Bergara B14 LA are:

  • Bergara B14 SA, Premier series rifles (SA)

  • Remington 700 SA, 722, 40x SA

  • Mauser M94, M1996 (Serial number < 12000)

Our recommendation for mounts

Fixed mounts:

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 LA, 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 mounts:

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 LA would be the Rusan pivot mount.

Picatinny rails:

Just like with detachable repeatable mounts, there is plenty of choice for Bergara B14 LA 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. More about that in our article Aluminum vs. Steel Picatinny Rails, which you can find 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.
