BCL102 Range Review, SECOND RANGE TRIP POST 123!!!

Got my rifle yesterday so headed to the range today. Shot 7 groups of 5 rounds. started at 41.0 gr Varget and went up to 43.0 in .5 increments. Groups size ranged from 1.599"(42.0) to 4.543"(41.5), with 155 Sierra Match. Only got to shoot two groups with 168's, 41.0(3.040) and 41.5(2.011). Shot at 100 yards.
The trigger on this thing is brutal, if it's milspec, I feel sorry for our soldiers. Closest I can compare it to is my M&P 40, but twice as bad. I had brought my Glock 17 to shoot while the barrel cooled and it felt like a match trigger in comparison.
I'm going again tomorrow and bringing some factory hunting loads to try.

Yeah we expected the triggers to be meh on these. I have a Trigger Tech one awaiting install in mine when she arrives.

I thought the trigger felt familiar lol. Your 100% right it dose feel like the stock mp trigger. Long gritty take up. I did end up working my mp trigger so now it's pretty nice. The one thing I have to say is at least once you pull past the horrible take up there is a hold point right before she breaks.
 
From everything I'm seeing, these are good rifles. A lot of gun will have some initial break in issues, and I'm seeing decent initial groups. Overall I must say, this gun is impressing me.
 
Is it going to bottom out shooting prone with an appropriate height bipod? Not sure how to be any clearer than that.

You're still not being clear at all.
What's an appropriate height bipod? To me your statement makes no sense, with a 5/25 an appropriate bipod is one that is long enough to hold the rifle high enough for the magazine to clear the ground, if you were using an XCR pistol magazine an appropriate bipod would be different. How about you say I have a bipod that can extend to 9 inches and I'm wondering if it will work with my dumb mall ninja 5/25 magazines.
Why would you shoot prone with a 5/25? Try a more appropriate magazine for what you are doing like a 5/10 or a 10 round pistol mag.
Appropriate is what works with your equipment and only you will know that since we don't know what bipod you have and there are way too many different bipods available for anyone to know what you mean by appropriate.
Are you asking what size bipod you should buy? Or do you want to know if what you already have will work?

To directly answer your question as you wrote it here you go.
No, with an appropriate length bipod your magazine will not bottom out on the ground. Clear as mud right.
Is appropriate a 6 inch? A 9 inch? A 12 inch? You tell me.

I have searched for those, couldn't find anything. If someone here in canada wanted a hot selling product im sure these would sell like hotcakes. XCR-M mags are pretty popular up here, I'm sure they would sell more than they could make.

I'd like to use this as an excuse to buy a 3D printer but I still don't think the wife will be very happy with me if I do. Lol


When is someone going to run some premium ammo through their rifle and actually shoot off a solid rest to show what these are really capable of? So far it's been junk ammo or excuses about it being too fun so they shot fast not really trying. So far all I've seen is meh, decent accuracy for a rack grade rifle but nothing great other than one 10 round group with some handloads that looks like it started off with a lot of promise then started stringing as it warmed up.
