The drop at comb is .425" and the heel is .235" measured from the center of the bore.
Negative drop from comb to heel. Thats interesting.
Interesting but not uncommon. It keeps your eye right up there. I do have to say the stock is not elegant.
Straight recoil with less muzzle rise? It seems that way when shooting.
I'm liking the 21" 6.5 Fieldcraft but haven't gotten to shoot it as much as I'd like yet. Great little package. If I was making one change, it would be that they use the same contour barrel on the short actions that they use on the long actions and cut the short action at 22". It would put a little more weight out front when shooting offhand, from the bench it doesn't make much difference to me. That's a personal preference and some folks might not like the extra oz's. Great package either way.
From their website:
What is the barrel contour on every model and caliber?
Barrel contour is lighter than #0 contour for short action 21” barrels. Barrel contour is similar to #2 contour for long action 24” barrels. All short/long action barrel breeches are 1.065.
What is the diameter at the muzzle?
Short action – 21” barrel is .550 Long action – 24” barrel is .615
