Long-time lurker, first time posting.
Been getting the itch for a 6 or 6.5mm AR15 caliber and was recently offered the rifle in the below link as a potential trade. Searches on here and elsewhere seem to paint Ballistic Advantage in a fairly positive light, but not on the level of Criterion or Lilja. I have experience with the product of the former and love the accuracy I'm able to get from my 6.5x47 Lapua Criterion Rem-Age barrel.
That said, does BA have a reputation of being truly sub-MOA? I'd be handloading from the start with a 120-130gr bullet for long range, but would run the Wolf steel case for close range 2 gun/3 gun hoser stages. Would probably put an AAC 51T FH or MB on there for my SDN-6 as well.
With that all in mind, does the BA barrel leave anything off the table? Toolcraft BCG a solid piece of gear, or send off alarm bells? I'd be swapping the trigger for a Geissele, and maybe put an adjustable gas block on before I Rocksett or pin/weld the AAC MB/FH on, but does the rifle below have the potential of being a real shooter?
Thanks for any assistance as the 6.5G is new to me beyond the info I've picked up here and elsewhere by way of curiosity more than anything.
