Rifle Scopes Quality of Badger Ordnance Finish

[Skyyr]

Hey guys,

I recently purchased a BO 0MOA rail (upgrading from a Nightforce rail). Upon opening the rail, the finish appears very rough compared to a Nightforce. The underside has some polishing/shiny spots and feels rougher overall. Is this common on Badger products? I don't care about the finish itself, I'm more concerned that I got a returned rail that someone else has mounted or attempted to mount.

Thanks!

It has been my experience that BO products are built with an emphasis on function over form...and rightfully so.

Yeah their scope rings have a "worn and cheap looking" finish bu the quality is outstanding. Most of their stuff get used by military anyway and they will paint them with about 5 colors of krylon, so they are probably not concerned with a showroom finish.

badger does the work extremely well but doesn't do it in style, it is not bling for your rifle.

So they work and don't give a crap how they look... maybe they should've called themselves Honey Badger Ordnance =) Thanks for the replies! I'll mount it shortly!

Yup, BO is not too concerned about the Tacti-bling factor but they build a rock solid product. Don't worry about it.
