Gun and gear reviews Backland Hunter Comp First Impressions

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.

Yes but the backland hunter comp is actually the cheapest of the 3 at 2200, mk 15 is 2400 and the carmel is 2500 MAP

Cheapest - but that comes with no FRN, which is some level of peace of mind for some folks.

Yeah, FRT is no guarantee though either unfortunately.

Not having an FRN means extra questions, and more chances of an uneducated cop deciding I get to test out our court system if I get pulled over on the way to the range or hunting. I can control the odds of this by my firearm haivng an FRN.

An FRT entry being changed by dictate and OIC is a problem none of us can control.

I know which ones I'd buy
