Feets / Collection / My build BCL MRX .223 Wylde

Post image

This thing is so small it’s hard to get the ergos right. I had the cantilever nuts on the other side but I couldn’t get the eye relief right without sending the mount past the end of the rail 😭 I’d put the cheek weld even lower for my big fat head if I could, too. It is just a toy to me though, and I do love it. 🤓

I've thought about getting a bcl bolt action but I hear their bolts are finiky. I'd be interested in hearing your experiences.

I only have 260 rounds through it so obviously very fresh still but so far it’s been great and I’m totally happy. I had one failure to eject super early on but cleared it just like I would my .22! The bolt action was a bit sticky on my last shoot but everything feels very solid and smooth and nothing stressful at all about how it operates. I love the 20 round MRX mags and 10 round pistol mags, they feed great. I wanna use an outdoor range and I plan to go check one out on national range day!

I've had mine (.223) for over a year now and love it. It's my dedicated tractor gun and has dealt with a few yotes and ground squirrels with no problems. Personally I've tried LPVO's, red dots, and full on scopes, but ended up with a fixed 4x magnification small form factor optic and absolutely love it. The gun itself is capable of 1 MOA at 100 yards with good ammo.

My only gripe is that the chassis weighs way too much making the gun equivalent in weight to the CZ trail.

the range i go to said they used to carry it but the firing pin in the bolt would jam and need a complete disassembly and replacement so it steered me away from it. Good to hear there's good stories about it too.

These odd ball firearms are so interesting. How’s the accuracy?

u/NeruLight May 29 '26

It feels subjectively accurate to me. I hate to call indoors 20 yard 2 MOA kind of thing accurate (I’m not that great a shooter), but I have used a bipod and a stand before and it hits well. I want to try farther lol.

Interesting, wish they made the action straight pull tho.

You need to try different ammo bud, I get 1 MOA at 100 yards with Federal Gold Box 62gr. Standard ball ammo shoots poorly from this gun since it was optimized for longer barrel firearms.

u/NeruLight May 31 '26

Yeah I’ve just been shooting 55gr but I have shot 62 and 75 out of it as well. It’s definitely not the gun—it’s me hehe. I’m still developing. Each time I shoot i get a bit better though!

Nice rifle. When did you get yours? I been looking for the 9” barrel howitzer model

u/NeruLight May 30 '26

I’ve had it for a few months actually but I bought a couple more .22s after this one that have had my attention lately 😅

Consider using regular rings of a height that will work for you, might be a better solution than using your current mount.

u/NeruLight May 30 '26

Yeah I wish I had bought those with it instead when I got the scope. This is a Venom 1-6x BDC and I originally had it on my chiappa wildlands tactical.

I broke down and ordered a set of vortex 30mm extra high to get a bit more height and to not have to worry about the oversized nuts lol.

Nice rifle. Mine was a ton of fun and threw big fireballs even in daylight. Just sold her on GP yesterday becuase the novelty wore off fast.
