Is BCL 102 a good hunting rifle?

[jrslv]

I would love to support a Canadian manufacturer, but I've found a few reviews on youtube that claim that BCL 102 is a piece of garbage because of cycling problems.

Is it really that bad?

How about just asking "is the BCL 102 a good rifle?"
To which the answer is no.

My short answer to your question would be no. In most cases a bolt gun is the best way to go in my opinion anyhow.

I took I nice 2 point with my BCL. Worked well for me. As for the BCL took me many rounds to get it to work right. Once I received new gas rings and extractor it seemed to be reliable. I will use it again next season as my deer rifle. Always have a back up gun anyway in the event one goes down.

Even though I got nothing but tag soup this year I was out often with my stag10 in 308. Comfortable rifle to hump all day and it's a great shooter with accurate components. Any deer within 300m would have been mine no questions asked.
Don't discount the semi autos, especially if you purpose build it.

Not a good rifle.

Lots of great companies making guns in Canada. Unfortunately BCL isn't one of them.

I have had zero issues with mine.

Yes, the BCL is a good hunting rifle because it will make you go hunting for a stag................... a Stag 10 that is.

Which other companies make AR-10 clones? I know that Alberta Tactical Arms makes them, but they cost more than $3,500! Yikes.

Stag 10 is all you need to know because it is the best one.

Much less expensive than the Alberta made one. And much more accurate as well.

Here we go again, again and again. Many people have not had any issues including myself. Personally I would not use as a hunting rifle being more in favour of a lighter, bolt action rifle.

They're at revision 7 now right ? Just think 10 or so more revisions they might just get it right.

Well, why don't you make a youtube video to share your positive experiences, because I found only negative reviews.

Took a good size buck this year so yes it works

 

[driller212]

swap out the barrel for a faxon pencil barrel, and it becomes a great hunting rifle!

 

[DiabeticKripple]

the receivers themselves are meh, but if you put good parts in them they will run.

id just go the stag-10 route and be happy.

I have both rifles, and the BCL sits in my safe. I havent had it out in well over a year since i built my stag.
