When I get a cheaper barrel it takes more time and effort to get it to do close to what my quality barrel does effortlessly out of the box.I had probably 300 rounds through my stainless 24 inch Grandel BCA barrel to get it shoot MOA consistently . My Bartlein was doing sub moa once the scope was sighted in! 5 shots!
I paid $450 for my Bartlein barrel.Only $200 for a complete BCA Grendel SS 24 inch upper.But when you add all the effort and bullets I put into a BCA barrel it ended up costing more. And in the end it still was a BCA barrel.So I sold it.
Not bashing BCA. They fill a niche.I know several shooters that love to tinker with their loads and they get BCA barrels to shoot well. I like my rifle to be as accurate as it can possibly be. I still buy BCA uppers. I just sell the barrel from the start and install a quality one.
