Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Barrett Limited Edition....

Looking at this for the simplest implementation for Barrett, they already produce the following:

Short action (lw contour):
.243 Win - 1 in 7"
.22-250 Rem - 1 in 7"
6.5 Creed - 1 in 8"
6mm Creed - 1 in 7"
7mm-08 Rem - 1 in 8"
.308 Win - 1 in 10"

Long action (~#2 contour):
.25-06 Rem - 1 in 9"
.270 Win - 1 in 10"
.30-06 Sprg - 1 in 10"
6.5x55 Swe - 1 in 8"

I'd think the quickest/easiest would be to go with a barrel they already have and chamber it in something they already cut chambers for. The overlap would be for .308 and 6.5 Creed using a long action barrel (30-06 or 6.5x55). This seems like the no-nonsense option. Very little overhead.

Not sure if they would want to chamber a long action in the lw contour at any length longer than 21" (?)....it wouldn't interest me if they did, but it would fall under the same ease as the above.

Second quickest/easiest would be to use an existing barrel and chamber it in something they don't currently offer. Use any of the barrel/contours/bore/twist rates and chamber it in whatever. Still fairly small overhead to implement.


After that options really open up but I'd guess the cost and effort would increase substantially.

+1 22"- 24" #2 Contour available threaded or not.

In all short actions especially these;
6mm Creed
6.5 SAUM

6.5 SAUM
280 AI
I'll put it on layaway today! Thanks.

Excellent point!

I have no direct knowledge of what specific chamberings have been selling, but going from posts here it seems like 308 and 6.5 Creedmoor would do well. Like another poster mentioned, perhaps this could be their "long range" option?

i think alot of people would love to have a NULA in 284 winchester but cant/wont spend the 3500.00 dollar price tag to get one....start with this one and a #2 taper barrel

How about the promised lefty?

Brown stock, red pad.

6mm Creedmoor

22" #2 cut rifled barrel

I think it should be a 280 or a 280 AI with a 24 inch barrel and a 1 in 8 twist. I would advise the regular 280 which buyers could easily convert to the AI version if they so desire.

This would cover most of the same ground that could be covered by a fast twist 270,a 284,or a 7mm Remington magnum,but would require no changes other than the barrel and would require no additional special tooling or investment. They could paint the stock a custom color,and it would be good to go.

As others have already said, the heavier #2 countour from the LA chamberings, on the short action and chambered for the 6.5 and 6 Creed (or .243win). 22" sounds about right. The materials and reamers are already in house, just a change in the stock inlet for an already familiar contour and they are there......

I'd be in for one of these.

Some of y'all are asking for an action change with anything other than a standard case head.

Some of y'all are requesting a crime against nature with the brown stock/red pad.....red pad should only be used on a wood/blued rifle. Repent sinners....

Stock color I can care less about, krylon (or duracoat if going all out) is made every day.

I'm in for this.

This one will be on my new .270 - it might even be a little bright for my tastes.

Yes please.

6.5 Creedmoor with the long action barrel contour. Very simple.

Another vote for a 280 of some variety. 23" barell!

And the 6.5 saum, but not sure how realistic this is given your criteria.

Well, those of the .270 genre do have a flair for being colorful....

LOL. There's a relatively quiet movement here toward making the .270 great again.

Could it be the gayness allegations about the 270 were the result of insecure 7x57 loons projecting?

Ha! I believe that to be quite possible.
