You can always go the route I’ve taken. I bought a Forbes 20b for $1200 in .308 and sent it to Southern Precision for a barrel swap. The Fieldcraft stock was not the same as the one Melvin makes and it felt different to me. Not in a good way. This is the best compromise for what I want vs a Nula or Fieldcraft.
I would have prefered a SS action and barrel but going with the Bartlien they don’t make the featherweight in stainless. All said and done I’m at 2k with a triggertech primary. As for the finish I will most likely Cerakote it myself.
As far as the Fieldcraft it’s really is a shame. It seems like the idea of a production NULA is just cursed. If I hadn’t went my current route My backup was a Pierce Ti action and AG Composite Privater stock. Advertised weight is 2.72lbs for that combo. With the same Bartlien featherweight #2 barrel it’s 4.72 Using a ADL inlet and trigger your right at 5lbs.
