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.

With all due respect, you could've waited until next month for two much better 556 black rifles to hit the market than anything Crusader Arms related, and for about 100-200 bucks cheaper than the Backland Hunter Comp.

What two 556 black rifles are you referring too? Sorry havent been following much since the raven went bye bye. But im in the market (and patient, and have my own property i can shoot on.)

Brigade Makasi and IWI Carmel

[u/Razor99 → u/A-U-Ahmed]

Are either of these reputable / reliable or strong brands?

I think both these rifles are from well recognized brands. IWI in particular makes military grade small arms.
