Not trying to be overly critical of your statement, but maybe you haven't read many reviews. That's a broad blanket statement you made. I'm no apologist for BCA. The crazy thing about them has been the wildly varying results that many have gotten on this site. As already mentioned the word "crapshoot" applies. Some have been dead-on and some definitely have not.
The good news is that they appear to honor their returns. The bad news is that you might have to return one. Just want to be fair. No...they wouldn't be on the top of my list for a precision AR...LOL!
I have one of their $65, 16", 300BO barrels in an odd 1:10 twist that I've mentioned before on here. It has turned out to be my primary hunting rifle for coyotes and pigs in river bottom, wooded terrain where no shot will exceed 200 yards using home loaded 110g V-Max supersonic. The accuracy of this barrel is always under MOA from a bench when sighted in. I have a threaded Glock 17 from them also that shoots as well as my factory barrel that cost $57. Go figure.
I have barrels costing hundreds of dollars, so I appreciate quality...and they delivered. I said I certainly wouldn't consider BCA for anything precision, but I do have one of their offerings on a precision gun. They make a nice, affordable, side-charger, AR15 upper with a nice nitride BCG. It resides in a 24" bull barrel 5.56 bench gun that is a tack driver.
They say you get what you pay for, and with BCA barrels that can be the case, and then in some cases you'll get way more than what you paid for. For those who want guaranteed results without having to backtrack with a possible return, then definitely go with another barrel manufacturer.
