Budget upper recommendation?

[grayfox]

If I were on a budget,I’d get a bear creek armory upper for around $200.I had a 24”Grendel ss BCA uuper.It did moa.For hunting it is more than accurate enough,
Don’t know why folks hate on BCA so much.Most of the haters probably never even owned or shot one.They read about it online.For the price,BCA uppers cant be beat.
The guy I gave my bca 6.5 Grendel 24” ss barrel to shoots sub moa with it.If you are a real shooter and reloader(I know I am)you can get most any barrel to shoot moa.
Of course its not going to shoot sub moa within 20 rds like a $500-$700 custom barrel.You will need to work with it and find out what it likes.200- 300 rd break in.

I have owned and built and shot them, they were not quality for me. For the record, if anyone has good luck with them, good for you, but it's mostly luck (IMO and experience), and for any amount of money my time and expectations are higher than they can reliably do. It's not about the 1 or 2 that "shoot sub-moa" (always the case in the interweb!!) it is about consistently producing quality barrels. And BCA sadly does not. As I have written elsewhere I do hope they get their act together but they are not worth my waste of time and energy in the meantime. I'm not 30 yo any more and do not want to waste time on an iffy company. They aren't so much "bad" in my book as inconsistent... and that causes me to go elsewhere with my $$.
