Ive just put my spare VX3 3.5-10 Windplex on the take-down Bergara. Not a huge fan of the factory rail, it is fugly and the scope sits too high.
Anyone put actual bases on a BA13 ? Be keen to hear what the screw spacing is (without me taking the scope off again) and what you've found works well.
I thought exactly the same thing a few days ago. Mine looked so bad I’m getting open sights installed 😂
I wondered if you got too much lower the scope might be obstructing easy use of the hammer?
They have a hammer extension so not really an issue.Quote:

I ended up making a custom can with smaller diameter so I could use the front blade, coz it disappears if you use a 43mm diameter can.
Mines got the extension but even in medium Warne rings on the standard base a 3-9x40 was about as close to the hammer as I would want to comfortably use the hammerQuote:

Did you find anything decent @ebf?
What about adding a cheek rest to lift your head slightly to align better with a scope ?
I would switch to the thumbhole stock as that raises up your line of sight. I had the opposite issue with mine as i bought a 1.5-4x28 and it sits low on that rail. That's using the low 1" rings. Works for both the lil scope and the holosun
I've got a single piece scope mount if anyone wants it. Replaces the rail. Suits 1" scope tubes up to about 44mm objective, maybe 50mm.
I find my eye lined up nicely on my Bergara. 2-7x33 Leupold with (I think) Burris Z rings on the rail.
I just swapped it to a VX3 2.5-8x36, so I better check it again...
I am a converted fan of these lil scopes now eh. The clicks are horrendous but the clarity is there. The fixed objective lens at 150y on my 1.5-4 is great, i don't notice any crosshair alignment issues in the field which i certainly did using a Konus.
Just don't mount a heavier scope too far fwd. The temptation is there (to get max eye relief) but you can damage this rail with nothing but recoil.
