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.

I experienced the Carmel on a show day at Easthill... The one I fired 100 round of was 800 rounds new. Apparently only 1 failure and it was a shooter issue. I had none and that thing was being cooked.

Since then I committed to buying that sucker NR.y $0.02. Cheers.

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
