    Is BCA Bear Creek Arsenal? If so, Ive heard over and over that their quality control is spotty. Seems like you get a 50/50 chance of getting a good barrel. Some people swear by them others will never buy from them again. This is not from personal experience, but just what I’ve read on other groups and forums.

    BCA is bear creek arsenal. I have read that their stuff is spotty as with anything in that price range in my opinion. With some brands you get what you pay for and others you pay for the name. I focus on the middle ground mainly

    I splurged for a nice rifle recently. My go-to ride or die. It’ll be a Triarc Centrifuge with a 13.9” barrel

    What price range are you looking at for this rifle? That will change the recomendations.

    Im expecting to spend about 600 but know i will most likely go over that by adding more custom options that i want done to it. That price I know is low but thats an expectation to start.
