I did single load it enough to get it sighted in. My only complaint it it is quite heavy and wouldn't make a very good hunting rifle if you like to walk a lot. Of course that is assuming that Pennsylvania ever lets us hunt deer with a semi.
Correct, odds these days are on a par with even the more expensive brand offerings. It's not like BCA has stood still all these years and not improved their product offerings, of course they've responded to their customers and improved their product.
That's pretty decent shooting from a economy upper. I bought a 6.5 Grendel upper shortly after you posted that you bought that one. It was so inexpensive that I couldn't pass it up. I haven't shot mine extensively yet, but the few rounds I put through it look promising. I had planned to shoot it on Father's day, but forgot my mags.
I first heard of BCA about a decade ago from an AR building friend. They were selling barrels for something like $90 and he bought a couple. The first rifle he put together with one shot sub-MOA.
Never had any problem with mine. But it also begs the question: Old BCAs or new ones? Yes, the older models had some problems, the newer ones not so much. But it also begs another question and that has to do with quantity sold, being a budget AR there's always the probability they sell more than even the mid range to high range manufactures. At that point it becomes a matter of percentages. Not saying that's the case but it's something to keep in mind, this is why I never take anything at face value, there's always "more to the story".
Don't get me wrong, I'm not questioning what you've been told, simply relaying potential reasons why. I'm also not denying the possibility that BCAs have more of these issues than others, I don't know.
Unless we could come up with concrete stats everything any of use say here has at least some element of conjecture in it.
That's not what I was referring to, I was referring to the first part of your post.
And that's a bad thing? I do it with every firearm I buy regardless of who made it. As for inferior parts and inferior workforce........ You worked there did ya? I mean you have first hand knowledge? Or are you just regurgitating hearsay?
About 5 years ago with a Bear Creek 7.62X39 upper, with ( at the time 14 yr old grand-son). I use 123 gr B-Tips and they drop like lightening hits them at 100 yds. I get 2" accuracy from this set-up and it never fails for 10 years now. I paid 275.00 back then. Guess who's getting this rig when I start thinning the herd very soon.Ya know, If I'd made such an obviously clueless, blanket statement like that I'd expect to get called out over it too........... Oh and I own three, never had a problem with them........
