I had the opportunity to get out and shoot the new Fieldcraft chambered in 6.5 Creed. The rifle was exceptionally accurate. The things I noticed were how comfortable and crisp the trigger was, perfect feeding/ejecting, and the stock ergonomics. Fit & finish was excellent. I shot this 3 shot group with Federal Trophy Copper 120gr at 500yds I shot this group with Hornady 143gr ELDX also at 500 Fence post pic without the fence post

Special order on the barrel length and threading? I could go for one exactly like it.

The stock is more hand filling to me than the Montana. The cheekpeice is ample and comfortable too. The grip is much more closed than the Montana also.
The 18" threaded barrel is a factory offering and not special order. Anyone can get that configuration.

jac3k, I'm guessing the rings are those listed on Barrett's website: https://store.barrett.net/c-485-rifle-accessories.aspx?section=-61-Very Talley'esque...made by Barrett or Talley? Do they come with or the rifle or purchased separately? Thanks

The rings are made by Talley and are sold separately. I believe The Outpost does have one in 308 win.

Anyone know who has a 6.5 creed in stock? Bill Hicks and Sports South (distributors) just got them in stock. Tell your dealer to order one in.

Hadn't seen that on their site. Thanks. This is getting good.

Great shooting Jac! Perfect TN killing machine. An over barrel suppressor would make it even handier to slide out a window.

I just checked the Barrett website and the Fieldcraft in .243 comes with a 1 in 7 twist SWEET!
They get it and are offering what shooters want!

Outstanding shooting! Tell Me about the stock, how thick is the wrist? And does it have a grippy textured finish or is it slick?......thanks Hb
