As a new manufacturer of bolt action rifles the Barrett Fieldcraft was done very right. Especially taking into account cartridge length, bullet technology, barrel lengths, portability/weight, and overall craftsmanship. I was expecting a similar attempt from Wilson Combat, especially considering all of Melvin’s marvelous history, but that’s not the case. Not dissing on Wilson, I’m sure they’re a very good product, however a few things on their new bolt guns going into year 2024 are a bit of a head scratcher for me. Again knowing the type of work Wilson has produced in the past, it’s not what I expected in terms of their ability to produce a cutting edge product similar to the Barrett Fieldcraft.
