Backland Hunter Update

[u/Mammoth_Telephone_61]

Was at the range with it today, not 1 single bad thing to say about it. First 20 shots were sighting it in. Put about 250-300 rounds of 223 through it. And a new friend put 60-100 rounds of 556. Not 1 FTF or FTE. There was 2 light strikes and 2-3 times with a full mag the bolt didn’t close all the way. Obviously not running the crypto mags so from what I heard about the mags making this a bad firearm I agree. Swap those out and you’re good to go. Only time will tell how it holds up. Also not me in the photo.

I used FTF as in Failure to Feed. Sorry it I wasn’t 100% correct in that. Iv only been a hobbiest for about 2 years now.

There was 2 light strikes in the first 40 rounds. Could have been an ammo issue as it was cheap, could have been the firearm. I’m just a guy giving insight to a firearm that’s very controversial. No I’m not an expert I’m just a guy who wants to enjoy range days.

I think that's the issue with the stock because of weird angle on it they'll never get a good weld without a cheek riser.

It's very much a Canadian review when we see 300ish rounds and there's 2 light strikes and someone goes "works good!".

Id only trust a 1000+ burn down review and given we saw the bcg in that thing on another video, im not hopeful given the manufacturer we're talking about.

I think some of it is the sunk cost fallacy. They gotta support it because they want a Canadian rifle or they've put too much money into it.

I'm always wary of short reviews.
