How about 250-3000,257 Rob,358 Win I'd build if I wanted one of those. I wouldn't expect them to ever chamber for any of the 3.

So what is the deal? Did you just get it? Where did you get it? How much did you pay? Thoughts?

I'll let the hype and the prices settle down a bit and wait until they are available in 270.
Fwiw, I see a few of the new kimber subalpines on gunbroker too.

BARRETT FIELDCRAFT LIGHTWEIGHT, got them here in Australia, nice caliber options...
We could not find a hunting rifle that was perfect, so we built one. This rifle is designed to be carried further on long days in the field and perform like a Barrett at that critical moment. The stock is crafted from carbon fiber to provide an ultralight yet stiff platform for shooting from field positions. The actions are scaled for their specific caliber and precision barrels contoured for their application. There is nothing one-size-fits-all about this rifle.
AVAILABLE IN .243 Winchester 21” BARREL .22-250 Remington 21” BARREL 6.5 Creedmoor 21” BARREL 7mm-08 Remington 21” BARREL .308 Winchester 21” BARREL .25-06 Remington 24” BARREL .270 Winchester 24” BARREL .30-06 Springfield 24” BARREL 6.5x55 Swede 24” BARREL SPECIAL NEW $3145

Kinda surprised that there are no writer/dealer reviews of these yet. I don't pay attention to many rifle's release/production/etc...but I'll see write ups of a review where the company sent this rifle to someone and they sing it's praises before production rifles hit the market. ...this time I am looking forward to the rifle being put on the market.

There are a bunch of 308's on Gunbroker. If there was a 6.5 I would be very tempted.

Somebody needs to be specific about weight. The listed 5-6 lbs is not what someone spending 2K on an ultra lightweight wants to hear. The list the same for short and long actions as well. The lack of general information and non specific weights is a bit disappointing. I still don't know what kind of action this rifle uses. Is it based on a Forbes,or a model 700,or proprietary,or what?

If someone procures a Fieldcraft and also has a Kimber Montana, would love to see a side-by-side photo. I'm particularly interested in the forearm length of the Fieldcraft - hopefully it's 1.5-2" longer than the Montana.

I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
