Buy recommendations backland hunter questions

Hi there. I've been curios about the backland hunter due to it's specific style. I've been in the market for a new firearm for a bit. I've been deciding on the backland hunter, mk15, and the carmel. I know that the backland hunter has had some issues with customers and other review posts. But like i mentioned. It's current style of how it looks really intrigues me. Please let me know if it's worth dumping over 2,000 on the mk15 or better to get the backland hunter.

would it be worth saving the money for the carmel ? Or would it be better to just wait and see what the gun market does in a year or so

Both are great options. Which one is right for you? I think it's the best I've seen in this country in 5 years... But who knows what can happen.

I don't know which option is for me honestly. The only time i have shot "modern" firearms were at shooting ranges. I've mostly collected surplus over the years. I just want a fun range toy with affordable ammunition. I've heard a lot of bad reviews on the backland but again it's the style that gets me
