We've had one 6.5 and two 308's. They sold like lightening. The 6.5 was picked up by a member here. He was the first to email me when they were announced.

MAP is $1730.

Barrett isn't sending them to direct customers yet.


I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Does the safety lock the bolt on these new Fieldcraft rifles, or is it more along the lines of a 700 safety?

The safety has a nice positive snick to it. It does not lock the bolt.

Here is a little Fieldcraft Creedmoor action. Some of the Barrett team is texting me photos from Limpopo where they are hunting with Makonya Safaris. How did I miss this trip???

Another ELDX victim. There is a whole brick of ammo loaded with ABLRs too so there should be plenty more action for comparison.

That likely will be my next lightweight rifle....granted its about 1.5 pounds heavier than my current lightweight rifle...but in 6.5 it could be a check of a mid range out to 500 yards rifle that won't beat me up too bad.

Thanks for the pics.
