So I have heard of bear creek only in that I have seen ads, or seen their stuff on line with places that sell 20 different brands. I know not a single person with bear creek anything, and just want to know whats the knock against them.
basically how can this be good for $260.
I want to believe.
I just ordered one for $230 shipped. If you look across the board for AR stuff, everything is pretty dirt cheap right now. The weight and cost of the material isn't much, and everyone is making uppers and other parts. If they're doing a lot of stuff in house and selling it for a low margin, an assembled upper for around $300 is about right. It's when you get into upgraded coatings, finishes, and the extra quality/dimensional checks do prices start going up, as well as the manufacturer name too.
I have a bushmaster 16 inch for $430
Little more then you wanted to spend
Ha! They're out of stock now. My bud just called to order one and no go.
so here is my completed rifle and 75 yards of shooting. No bench rest, no bipod, just sitting with my elbow on the counter. Seems good enough for me for deer hunting. image1.jpgimage2.jpg
