Bear Creek Arsenal Rifles
And why you should check them out...
Bear Creek Arsenal has a pretty simple philosophy,
“Our philosophy at Bear Creek Arsenal is that every American should afford to furnish their firearm collection with the highest quality of AR rifles, as their passion for owning premium firearms should not be overlooked by the cost to own one. We at Bear Creek Arsenal, are dedicated to that philosophy; providing our customers with the utmost quality – utilizing the finest machining methods and technology – to provide the most competitively priced AR rifles in the industry while exceeding our customers’ expectations.”
"The AR platform is a staple mark of American freedom and liberties that we believe every American shooter should be able to afford to own."
There have been a ton of AR platform rifles entering the market place over the last decade and a lot of them leave the everyday guy out of the market due to price points. Not everyone needs an upper tier AR rifle costing $1500 or, in many cases, even more than that. Then you add an optic, light, and sling and you have just added hundreds dollars more and then you need magazines and ammo, and well you get the point. Not everyone can afford to do this, BUT everyone deserves to be able to afford a quality AR rifle without having to go into debt in doing so. So this is where I think Bear Creek Arsenal shines.
I received one of their Cold Hammer Forged rifles a couple months ago along with one of their .22lr uppers and I was immediately impressed with the fit and finish of the product received. Communication with the company was fantastic and their shipping to my FFL of choice was smooth and expedited quickly.
Another unique thing about Bear Creek Arsenal is the variety of uppers (available with and without BCG’s) that they produce, everything from Rimfire uppers in .17 HMR, .22 LR, and .22 Mag to everyday calibers like 223 Wylde, 5.56 Nato, 7.62x39, 300 Blackout and then dedicated hunting calibers like 6.5 Grendel, 350 Legend, and 450 Bushmaster and that only covers about half of their extensive lineup! Heck, they even make right side charging handled AR uppers which gives you even more variety to choose from! There are even PCC’s (Pistol Caliber Carbines) and and extensive array of parts and accessories for your next build!
So maybe you’re looking to put together a general purpose rifle, maybe add a hunting caliber for deer season (always check your local/state laws for allowed calibers), or possibly even thinking of getting into long range shooting, whatever it may be I guarantee you that Bear Creek Arsenal has a rifle that will fit your needs.
My personal experience has been very good with their rifles (sample size of 2). Fit, form, and function have both been 100% and I expect that to continue to be the case!
