Why wait for a Porsche when you could just buy a Toyota?

Why wait for a Porsche when you could just buy a Toyota? Lol it’s a hunting rifle that’s lucky to see 2 boxes of shells in its lifetime. Yes just buy a tikka.

My Tikka weighs 1 lb 8 oz more than my Fieldcraft with the same model scope onboard.
However, every time I think of selling the Fieldcraft, I throw it to my shoulder and it points like a fitted shotgun.
And then I take it to the range. And “nope”. It goes back in the safe to await hunting season.

I have yet to handle a FC. How does it compare to a Montana? I’ve handled one of those and I honestly don’t shoot well unless there is some mass. Too muzzle light and I’m less than optimal.
I kick myself for not buying one of those special runs that had #2 contours on it.

There's a nice one in 6CM for sale in this neighborhood but I already have two 6CMs and that's more than I'll wear out. Pardon my ignorance…do you know if it is factory? Did Barrett make a 6 Creed in the Fieldcraft? I may drive down and check it out. Cody will be there 10AM on Tuesday......if'n you want it, contact now because he posts stuff on Facebook and items are sold over the weekend. The best LGL in Alaska. It is still there. I was fondling it 10 minutes ago like a pair of boobies. $2750 with 1” rings. On consignment so he may come down more. I absolutely do not need it but we’ll see.

I wish I’d bought one in .30-06. The guys at Outpost Armory say the new owners may bring the Fieldcraft back. If so, I’ll buy one.

They suck heavy ass in Long Action,due exceedingly trite COAL "latitude",which is polar opposite the sensational S/A version. The 264 Kreed and 7-08 will stomp one in '06. Hint.

You were probably in there when I stopped in......There were a couple Fairbanks dudes in there drooling on the merchandise.......hardly standing room at the gun counter.

I was by myself but it was about 10:30 AM or so...a few other folks were in there but I didn't know any of them.
Cody (I believe it was him anyhow) said that if it is still there in 2 weeks, he was going to turn it into a .277 FURY.
It'd be a fun one but I just don't shoot enough to really justify it and I have a Rem Ti in 7-08 Rem sitting here for mountain hunts. The 1/7 twist on that 6 Creed was intriguing though.

The Seex Creed is fhuqking SENSATIONAL and I much prefer it to the 243Win...if only because I have both.

My 6 creed. Field craft shoots extremely well. I've been running 108 eldms but I'm about to try some Barnes 112s. Do the Barnes work of on game with their tiny hp? The 108s worked very well on deer for me.
