Buy recommendations Backland Hunter Elite - Thoughts??

Post image

Yeah yeah I know it’s likely just another cope garbage rod…but let a man dream lol. Anyone think it could be decent?

Sounds like the elite features a heavier buffer and spring, as well as some changes to the bolt carrier. Could the improvements make this thing at least somewhat reliable out of the box?

If they address the problems of the original backland hunter then maybe. And it actually sounds like they might be doing that. Tbh if I have the disposable cash in a couple months I’ll probably pick one up and test it out.

I’m a big fan of the Alcor, and tbh the Alcor with its aftermarket furniture is actually quite good. If it’s at all like the Alcor then I’m gonna be a fan

I’m debating picking one up soon! Did you modify it at all? I wish it could take other magazine types other than its proprietary ones, I’m wondering if it’s mag well could be altered to take a different mag type

I highly doubt it, but I did buy 6 of the longggg.. 5 round mags. (would guess with a bit of work, maybe 15-20)

I also got 4 more of the sort of longish 5 round mags. (same here... 8-10 rounds)

Other then that, I don't see any need to change anything... shoots straight, No ammo feed problems... BUT, the barrel is to short to shoot 180 grain... likes 150ish. Really like 7.65 NATO.
