I was all set to purchase the new Recce 16 KMR Precision MK2 and got to thinking. The best price I've seen on this rifle is $1530.00...great price considering the quality, reputation, and potential of this rifle.
However its over $220 CHEAPER to purchase BCM lower w/ b5 stock and ALG trigger through dealers and the KMR Precision Upper w/ mod4 charging handle and free BCG through BCM. Those are the exact components used in the KMR Precision MK2 but much cheaper, not too mention the upper and lower would still be assembled by BCM. Is there something I am missing that BCM complete rifles come with in terms of craftsmanship or extras that would justify not going the cheaper route for the SAME rifle? Perhaps a greater warranty or something? Like I said I'm ready to purchase the complete rifle but if it saves me over $200 I might just buy the upper and lowers as described. I have used individual BCM products but this would be my first "complete rifle" from them, so please...forgive my ignorance. But any current or past BCM owners please feel free to chime in.
