From my perspective, the fieldcraft was what the “production” nula should look like. Full stainless and roughly half the price. Obviously that isn’t what we will see; at least initially.
I struggle with the notion of a $4200 production gun without Melvin’s touch. But I wish the new owner the best with his endeavor; and will await reviews as they become available.
Agreed
Yep. Barrett is they only one who ever got it right on the "factory" level
$4200 seems spendy for what we hope might equal a fieldcraft
I agree with all of the above. I'm hopeful it will be a success for Mr. Wilson and his employees, but the things mentioned have to be considered.
With a NULA you could order exactly what you wished for in the rifle, a custom rifle...though Mr. Forbes might let you know his thoughts on it.
Of what I currently understand with Wilson, you're limited to choosing from the chamberings and barrel lengths that they list. Nothing wrong with that, but that's no longer a custom, it's a production rifle. I'm hopeful they'll turn out great rifles...the pattern is there...but I'm not sure how much demand there will be for a production rifle at custom prices.
