So I think I have put together what I feel is the perfect setup for my predator hunting and some deer hunting aswell. And moose when the situation arises.
So I was one of the bcl fanboys when they where announced and I got in on the first run. I felt confident in buying one as I own several nea ar15 both bought and built and to date I have had exactly zero failures or issues I know I know im the only one and I have horseshoes up my butt but its the truth.
When I got the 102 I threw a 1x8 strike eagal on it and hit the range with surplus and a bit of factory ammo and the gun shot as I expected for the ammo I was useing then I went to a cheap ffp scope But when I went to handloading I was not overly impressed with the accuracy well I should say the cold bore shot accuracy.
If the barrel was warm it would group ok but my cold bore shot was always like 1.5"-2" up and left at 100m. Because I wanted to hunt with this and dare I say long range that was a problem.
So I bought and installed a mapleridge armory 6.5 creedmoor barrel this put me in the accuracy range I was looking for. I am able to shoot moa with the cheapest on sale ammo I could buy as I was just trying to get some brass for reloading.
Its federal 140gn and its running a 46fps standard deviation and avraging 2660fps at muzzle.
So what I have done to this rifle to date is
Barrle, jp silent captured buffer, raptor charging handle, ambi safety, magpul str stock, magpul moe k2+ grip, magpul mlok bipod, utg 45°buis and i have it topped with a vortex viper pst gen2 5x25x50.
As it sits the gun weighs a ton and I wish bcl would have softened the corners on the magwel but other than that I am very happy with how this rifle looks feels and runs.
I sited the rifle on the weekend and was very happy and confident with the rifle so I went deer hunting on Tuesday and I ended up running in to a immy moose they are open for 15 days where I live and I couldnt pass up the opportunity. 160yd threw the skull and severed the spine it was a great feeling to get more than just coyotes with this gun.
