Nice rifle! Since I don't keep up with these rifles, what is a Lipsey Special?
Lipsey's made a special run of the Fieldcraft 6.5 CM with a 24" no.2 Douglas Contour, rather than the conventional 21" no.1 Douglas Contour... I prefer the slightly heavier, weight forward feel of the no.2 contour.
As 257 said, the no.2 is unthreaded, unlike the 21" which is threaded.
Quick correction on the available options:
24” #2 unthreaded (Lipsey’s exclusive)
22” #2 threaded and cerakoted black
21” #0/1 unthreaded
18” #2? threaded
I had a 21” featherlight that I had threaded to 1/2x28 for a silencer. It consistently put up a 3/4” 5-shot group with factory Hornady ammo. I upgraded recently to the 22” threaded #2 and, with suppressor, is easily a 1/2 MOA rifle with factory Hornady loads.
My point is this: Brad has lost his damn mind. Somebody snatch up this rifle before he comes to his senses.
