Bear Creek Arsenal New BC-201 [First Look]

NEW from Bear Creek Arsenal comes their take on the classic 10/22. 

Semi-automatic, heavy barrel, in a Hogue stock the BC-201 is a 10/22 clone from BCA. As such, it does the things that you would expect from a good 10/22 clone. It takes Ruger 10/22 magazines, it is compatible with most 10/22 aftermarket parts, and it eats just about any kind of .22 LR ammo you can find.

BCA does have some nice upgrades in the BC-201 right out of the box that might put it a step ahead of the competition. The charging handle is modeled after the BCA AR-15 side charging handles to give you more to grip and make charging the bolt easier.

The really nice upgrade is the fact that BCA uses the Ruger BX trigger along with a stainless steel bull barrel. The thicker barrel combined with the enhanced trigger makes for a more accurate rifle.

1913 railing is integrated into the receiver for the mounting of red dots and optics.
