Lets start the debate... The Evolution or the Nordic Which is better built, handles better is built better basically which one is worth the money? Lets not flame each other but keep it objective, lets have people who have actually handled both of these answer. So...Who here has handled both of these builds, what did you think? Thanks |
Agreed Last I talked to B.P. Precision, they wouldn't have any for a few months. Besides, after seeing the Nordic, why would you want anything else? |

Not argue but compare apples the base evo unit is 199 and the base nordic unit is 220 if you start adding to them then the price goes up of course. I know the evos have not been in stock but doesn't that tell you of demand? I bet the nordic is going to be the same as it looks very cool. I am partial to the nordic but I am trying to get folks who have actually handled both (as I have only see the pics) to tell us of the fit finish and feel factor. Thanks |

OK I have both in stock ready to ship I have built both and shown both at gun shows Here is some things to consider The RB precision will cost less to build We sell the kit for 199.00 delivered pistol grip included fore end included with 7" rail all you need to buy is butt stock (This could go as cheap as 25.00 to whatever you want to spend) The contruction is excellent. These are the new generation ones. You can tell by the 5 lines in the fore end. They will accept volquartsern receivers You can mount a 11 1/2 scout rail and YHM flip up sight to shoot open sights ( 11 1/2 is not ideal length for open sight but you can do it) You can add extra rails to the forend 4" 15.00 7" 17.00 Comes with one Yankee Hill swiveling sling stud on bottom of unit, suitable for bi pod or sling mounting So lets compare the cost RB Precision 199.00 4 pos but stock 25.00 4" bottom rail 15.00 2x 7' side rail (17.00) 34.00 total with 4 rails 273.00 free shipping If you don't want rails it is even cheaper The Nordic kits is closer to the look and feel of the Ar15 Law enforcement and military prefer it because it can be configured like their ar15 for training and practice with cheap ammo. Nordic Stock 224.95 4 pos butt stock 25.00 pistol grip 5.00 YHM 9.2 LTWT Rail 99.00 total 353.95 It is cheaper if you go with free float tube no rails but not as cheap as the evolution. So which is better. That depends on what you want. This is what we find doing gun shows in Texas The causal 10/22 owner prefers the Evolution. It cheaper and gives them a tactical looking 10/22 The Ar 15 owners prefer the Nordic because it looks more like their ar 15 and if they have a 10/22 laying around it is cheaper than buying a dedicated 22lr ar15 upper. The addicted 10/22 builder wants both. Dads buying for sons. (Amazing how I justify buying guns for my children. I will say no to a new video game and then build him a $ 500.00 10/22) Lots of Dad's are interested in these conversion. 1 Dad shoots AR15 2 Son shoots 10/22 3 Son wants ar15 4 Dad buys conversion kit instead 5 Son happy |
I only have the RB Evolution, since that's the one which came first in Canada. Up here, they're the same price. Of course, my opinion is biased, but I really like it with the optional long scout rail. The height of the scope/red-dot relative to the stock feels pretty much the same as the AR15. And with a vertical grip, you don't notice the different forearm. Bottom line; I'm keeping the Evo.  Now a few pics, just to tease you towards the RB Evolution...     Cheers
