I'm thinking of building a new 6.5 Grendel hunting rifle using a BCA side charging upper and BCG, then mating it to a Wilson Combat 18" barrel. This will sit on top of an 80% lower I finished a few years back with a recently added 3.5 lb. Rise Armament trigger. Does anyone here have any experience with the BCA side charging upper? Any other side charging uppers I should be looking at? I'd like this rifle to be able to produce 1 MOA at 250 yards (not a problem for me with my Ruger 6.5 Creedmoor). I'm thinking side-charging because I have a hell of a time charging my 5.56x45 with a decent size scope (4-16x50mm) on it. All opinions are welcome.My first side charger (6.5 grendel) is Mega side charging upper with Young Manufacturing carrier and Alexander bolt. Alexander barrel,Noveske lower and Giessle SSA-E trigger. Pricey but a sweet shooter. Then is my economy side charger with the BCA upper/bc and Voodoo bolt in 5.45x39 with Larue trigger. Inexpensive but a blast to shoot! No problems with the BCA upper at all. You will like the side charging aspect. Good Luck!
Thanks,
Michael
