As the title says, looking for experiences dealing with BCA. Im specifically looking hard at a BC-203 semi-auto 17hmr. I need it to be a reliable feeder....unlike the Savage A-17 that I currently own. A-17s are inherently unreliable. If you have a reliable one, go buy a lottery tickets because most of them are not. There are very few choices for semi-autos in 17hmr and Im cautiously optimistic this might be reliable. I see it uses Ruger 10/22 magazines which is a good sign...I think a lot of the problem with Savage is a cheaply designed and manufactured magazine.
They appear to be fairly new to the market....just hoping someone might have some personal knowledge on them.

Have only messed with their AR15's and 10's there definitely hit or miss and if your the tryonwhinines a one and done the first time....yeaaahhhh....

However there warranty is one of the best with it comes to returns and the like... Now many people who just kept returning till they got a perfect one so there's that.

Haven't seen many complaints with there 10/22 clones...but no one really saying good about them either so...

I bought from them and after returning the upper I bought 3 times, I finally told them to send me my money back and keep it. It was a .350L. No experience with their .17 hmr but I love my A.17, works flawlessly for me, had it for 7-8 years now. I cleaned it once when it got wet years ago. Luck I guess. A have an A.22mag that works perfectly as well. Both of them have killed a big pile of raccoons.
