Backland Hunter Comp First Impressions

[u/moe-idk]

Ever since the original backland hunter came out I’ve been eying one, but the reviews kept me away. Seeing the comp come out and a few good reviews I decided to give it a try.

Ordered a set of irons for it which still haven’t arrived, but I wanted to try it out so threw a red dot on and took it to EESA.

Ran about 50 rounds of .223 with the only issue being not feeding 2 rounds. Also realized that if you raise the cheek riser it’ll block the charging handle lol.

New to guns so I don’t have anything to compare to, but fit and finish is good. Planning on taking it out again next weekend and might update.

Hopefully it doesn’t end like the crypto 🤞🏻I learned my lesson with crusader arms but wish you the best!

What lesson was that?

Very low QC standards, you can tell the rifles are rushed and I’ve only heard nightmares about their warranty.. My rifle performs pretty well but I feel it’s wearing in certain areas way too fast.

Oh yeah 100% they definitely live up to the canadian firearm manufacturer reputation

Pump em’ out before they get banned!

I had a crypto that had failiure to feed every 2-3 rounds, RDSC told me that the original uppers had so many tolerance issues with the BCG and they swapped my crypto for the Backland Hunter Tan/wood free of charge, it seems to work fine for now but i got to admit that i lost faith in them because of it, but right now it seems okay

I don't think it will win a reliability contest but it does go bang more often than not lol

Note that mine doesn't really like pointy rounds like M855

At least RDSC hooked you up! My cryptos BCG pushes on my mags so bad they won’t seat when full
