I am in the research process of building 2 rifles. 1 is a 20” target / varmint rifle and the other a 16” tactical carbine. I have looked at countless upper / rifle configurations and have decided on building custom lowers for both and semi-custom uppers form a company like J&T Dist. The upper I had in mind is the 24” Match-15 Fluted Bull Barrel Upper: Upper only: http://jtdistributing.net/store/more_bu_m15fbbu.html Complete rifle: http://jtdistributing.net/store/more_k_match.html Anyone ever purchased one of these? I’m asking them to switch the barrel for a 20” non-fluted, but keeping the rest the same. The main feature drawing me to this upper / complete rifle is the Badger Ordinance Stabilizer Handgurad: http://www.badgerord.com/productgroup.php?id=handguards Any information on J&T rifle’s accuracy, these Badger’s handguards, or some suggestions of other rifles I should look at in the same price range would be appreciated. |
| Everything I've read about them says they're great to deal with. I'm still waiting to hear about my customizing requests, but I really don't foresee that being an issue either. My main concern was that I have never seen or heard of anyone else using these handguards from Badger. Badger has a great rep, but I just figured if this equipment would be in more stores and an option on more rifles. |
| Hey, Red. I have a 20" Bull build from J&T with the Badger handguard. My rifle likes Black Hills 69-77 gr. loads. I haven't really stretched it's legs yet but it seems to shoot pretty nice. At a hundred yards it's pretty easy to get 3/8" for 3 shot groups and will put 10 shots into less than an inch most times. This is with a $70 Tasco scope. I'd say the potential is definitely there! Great service as well. |

i have used J&T before, good company.. haven't used those handguards before. i did look at them when deciding on my current varmint build. i use badger Ord. rings and bases on my 700 .300winmag. only have the best things to say of their product. so that is probable true of their handguards also.
