Couldn’t agree more. #2 in a MR is perfect IMO.

We drive deer and I shake like Michael J. Fox so I require some mass up front. A #2 contour carries easily and balances well. Only reason I haven’t bought a Fieldcraft is because I figure it’s not muzzle heavy enough for me to shoot it well.

Build specs?

We will see how the pocket book stands after Christmas and see what we can order next.


Did you order from Bartlien or did you find some in stock somewhere?

It's a walking hunting rifle. WTH would you recommend a detachable mag system he clearly doesn't want or need?

OP, stay on course.

Lots of good info on this thread, but if one had a nice 8 twist in a mountain rifle contour that would finish @ 20” would it be worth going Creed or would it be better suited for a .223AI?

I shoot every chambering cited and a bunch,that ain't. Hint. Congratulations?!?

I'm a 6BR Slut at 20" and don't have any slower than 8". Hint.

Though I only have (3) 224 Kreedmires and (13) 223AI's.

Just sayin'.

Hint...............

What are your thoughts on an 8 twist 22 Nosler to get a bit more powder?
