Any experience with Bear Creek Arsenal ?

Well, just got back from the range. Didn’t quite get the results with this one that I was hoping for but honestly I was a little off my game today. That and I haven’t got set up to start loading for the 6.5 Grendel yet so I was shooting factory ammunition. Also, it was a little windy. Anyhow, all things considered and taking into account it really wasn’t a good shooting day for me I was getting groups around 1.5 MOA give or take. I think on a less windy day when I could focus (mentally and visually) a little more and with some decent hand loads I could cut the size of the groups in half.

This is my “coyote rifle”.



Here is the last five shot group I fired before I kind of gave up and started just shooting three shot groups.



And these were the last couple of groups that I fired right before I totally gave up and left.





Take my results for what they were. I was in a hurry as I have other stuff going on, my eyes weren’t focusing for me, it was a bit windy, I was using factory ammunition, and the scope that currently sits on the rifle maxes out at 9X. I do think the barrel is capable of more than I could do on this particular day. I could be wrong. Maybe that’s all I’m going to get for $60.

Also, using the AR platform for precision work really isn’t my cup of tea. I’m more comfortable behind a bolt action with a more traditional stock.
