Same Price: Spikes chf vs. BCM standard

[TangoSauce]

I have a few friends that are very happy with their Spikes. The FN barrels seem to be high quality. Perhaps I'm the one person on the internet who has had very bad customer service from BCM, but they have not 'earned' my repeated business as other companies have. Nonetheless, BCM makes quality rifles and the fact that so many people run them in classes should be an indicator of that.

With that said, it's pretty much a toss up from my perspective. If you were after a rail instead of the MOE then BCM would be worth it to get what you want in one purchase.

I definately fall into this category. Spike's isn't the sub par rifle some allude to. Yes, Spike's also markets some cheesy products. On the other hand, reputable companies like Leupold, Hornady, Mossberg etc. come out with equally cheesy products (re: zombie) and nobody comes down on them for it.
