*;BGS-3T : The 3T variant of the ''Barghest'' utilizes the new [[Heavy Gauss Rifle]] as its primary weapon that is capable of striking at relatively long ranges with a great deal of firepower that increases as the 3T ''Barghest'' closes with its target. To back this up, the 3T has a single ER Large Laser and also has fourteen tons of armor. BV (1.0) = 1692<ref name=CO131/>, BV (2.0) = 1,900<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 170</ref>

*; BGS-4T : The production version of the BGS-4X, this ''Barghest'' uses the [[Defiance Annihilator]] [[Improved Heavy Gauss Rifle]], [[CASE II]], and [[Quad BattleMech Turret]] of that variant. The PPCs and PPC Capacitors of that version have been removed to make room for a BlazeFire Sweetshot [[ER Large Laser]] and [[Defiance Model XII]] [[ER Medium Laser]]. The Small Cockpit remains, as does the [[C3 slave]]. BV (2.0) = 1,734<ref name=TRO:Proto>''Technical Readout: Prototypes'', p. 127</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: Prototypes'', p. 69</ref>

*;BGS-7S : Developed during the [[Jihad]], the 7S was improved over its predecessors with [[Technology Rating|Advanced Technologies]].  This variant is geared to provide fire support to other lancemates rather the usual assault role of the design.  In place of its original weaponry, the 'Mech now has a pair of [[Medium VSP Laser|Medium Variable Speed Pulse Lasers]], a pair of [[Light PPCs]], and a single [[Artemis IV]] enhanced [[MML-7|7-Tubed Multi-Missile Launcher]] with two tons of ammunition.  For close up firepower, aside from the MML the 'Mech has an [[ER Flamer|Extended-Range Flamer]] mounted in the head and a rear-firing [[Medium Pulse Laser]].

*; BGS-4X : Using an [[Improved Heavy Gauss Rifle]] as its main armament, this version of the ''Barghest'' also uses [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] systems to maximize protection and combat effectiveness. The [[Endo Steel]] structure and [[Small Cockpit]] save enough room to allow the 'Mech to carry two [[Light PPC]]s with [[PPC Capacitor]]s in a Quad BattleMech Turret. This device allows the ''Barghest'' pilot to put accurate fire in a 360° arc around the 'Mech. To protect it from an exploding Gauss Rifle, the 'Mech also carries a [[CASE II]] system. Finally the [[LCAF]] installed a C3 slave unit in the head. BV(2.0)=1,667<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Steiner'', p. 7</ref>
