Sub Compact Bolt Action Rifles - Why?

[Gatehouse]

Never even heards of the CZ600 Trail until this thread. Looks like an interesting option for a bolt action AR kinda truck gun.

You think there is going to be a military coup and encourage it? This is a gun forum not a q anon forum or mental institution…

Good question…..not sure. No pistol grip would definitely be easier pulling out of a pack

 

[350mag1]

Just curious, is there some reason why we always see these with a pistol grip? Personally I'd be more interested if they were in a standard profile stock, less snag potential in the bush.

Would be easy enough to build one of these using an XLR atom stock. Very small compact and has the option of folder. Add your action, and get a prefit barrel made of your liking.

Had to lookup the BCL x 39, and of course the first place I look they have 3 in stock.

cycoblade, they had 2 in the OD in stock.

There aren't many standard stocks that fold or collapse. I've seen a few over the years but they sure aren't common.

I've spent lots of time in the bush with pistol grip rifles and they really aren't prone to snagging. A longer barrel is far more cumbersome in the bush than a pistol grip or protruding magazine.

If you don't need a collapsing stock but want a standard style you might just want to find a scout rifle you like.

You must have some technique that I don't!

That's what impresses me with the setup Tiriraq posted. Nice and solid traditional grip folder!

I like the BCL Bison 223Win with 12½ bbl.
Light weight, decent looks, smooth bolt operation, 20 round mags feed good, accuracy is good enough for me

Looks great! The Bison was actually the first BCL I’ve handled. Thought the design and ergonomics fit be perfectly. Went ahead and purchased the 12.5 Bronco in 308. I can see an addition of the Bison to my cabinet in the future.

I picked up a bronco 12.5 in 308. Handles well and have sighted in with 150g. Did get 1inch group well sighted in. I never got a chance to chrono it yet but will try next time out

Looking forward to your feedback. I haven’t had mine on a rest yet. I zeroed it in by leaning off a tree lol. But even at that with cheap federal 180gr, it was impressive. I believe BCL recommended 168-175gr bullet. Once the weather gets abit warmer, I’ll get some testing in

 

[keith mokry]

Lol sighted mine on truck hood with folding chair. Hope to get out in spring and give it a good try

That is one cool lookin piece. Nice handy, accurate, and super sweet if we could put a can on it. Yeah I want one.

Which shop was that?
Mind you I try not to buy firearms from stores anymore now that they have to register everything.
I prefer buying used from a person. Just show my PAL and away I go. Helps out a fellow gunner and I get it cheaper.
