Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Barrett Fieldcraft LW rifle?

My 7-08 fieldcraft with a 162 ELDX hits the lands at 2.9379 and with a 120TSX it's 2.8215

Anyone get the free set of rings? How long did they take to get?

I mailed my ring card in on the 14th and they shipped on the 18th. Pretty fast considering I'm in Alaska. Bad news is they shipped FedEx/ USPS so they are most likely going to get returned because I used my Fedex street address where I don't get mail.

I received the coupon for the free set of rings as well and they arrived within a week. I guess serial #'s over 500 are still getting the coupon?

Get rings here if you need more

Thanks Alaska lanche

Rings come with them IMLE, if they are going to get them, despite the fact desired ring size and height are not known. I suspect the rifles are not made in order by serial number.

I really do wonder how the serial numbers work on these. I've heard of a couple of different ones in the 800 range already. Is it possible they produced that many rifles to date if the serial numbers are sequential? I'm thinking no, and that the sn are not sequential.

Also, they seem to be coming with vouchers for one set of rings, Talley lightweight style. Talley also has them

My serial number is just under 900 and i did get the card for the free rings

I pick up my 21" 6.5 Creed Thursday. I don't think I'll get free rings. I'll report back with my serial # and pics ASAP

My serial number is 924 and I received a coupon for rings they sent them right out only took a couple days

I just received a phone call from barrett, there is the posibility of a hardness issue with some of the bolts. They want me to ship the rifle to them so they can test it.

Uh oh, please let us know what they say. Also, how did they find your contact info, did you register your rifle with Barrett their warranty card?

I got the same call pretty disappointing I know they are trying to make it right but I have spent a pile on bulletts down range developing loads. geeshh

OH CHIT I just picked mine up today . I'll check their website. I haven't registered it yet.

glad i waited

They traced the rifle to where i bought it and they gave them my contact info, I have not sent in the warranty card or free rings card yet.

Serial number trace from a dealer gives them that info. They know what they ship us and we know who buys what. No registration, the ATF isn't involved. Just the manufacturer, dealer and customer.

SAS,

Any info on the issue with the bolts? How extensive is it?

Thanks,

Jerry

The issue was with the cocking handle on the bolt and it only applies to a very small serial number range.

I'll say this in defense of Barrett -- they're doing business the way it should be done. You think another certain manufacturer of lightweight rifles would have gone to these measures if they found something out of QC spec? I already know the answer, as do most of you on here. Barrett could have turned a blind eye like many of their competitors have done in the past, but they made a stand up decision.

Barrett holds their product to higher quality standards than most of their competitors as well. This "recall" is a sample of those standards. That alone is what will keep their rifles in hands of customers for years to come.

It's an inconvenience (and I don't like being put out either), but rest assured they'll take care of you.
