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.

2 failures to feed in 50 rounds isn't great... but i hear sometimes these have a bit of a break in period.

often people will end up needed to file down spots on/around the bolt carrier to let it run smoother. which is crazy for the price tag this thing carries.

It could also be the mag, i function tested one for a customer and the 2nd round on one of the mags just would not feed everytime, but all others ran fine. At least it comes with 6 mags.

The mags absolutely blow ass.

100%. I mean its a neat idea and theyre cross mags, but yeah its definitely the weakest part of the gun for sure.
