If others out there are hoping Barrett produces this rifle in .223 Remington? I'm really enjoying my .308 Win and would really like to own one in .223 Rem too. Fingers crossed and for you lefties as well.

Yeah, twisted fast and the mag box left with a lot of room.

what does your Barrett Fieldcraft in .308 weigh? how does it shoot?
I am thinking of buying one in .243 but have not seen any reviews on the short actions...

Please make one in 6x45 for those of us that can’t hunt deer with a 223.

Like maybe in a micro action? Son of a........... I like! Hope it has ~ 2.5" of magazine length? Also, please screw some together with #2 contours. Same goes for the .473" short action Fieldcrafts.

Smart move by Barrett. But, as a left handed shooter, I'm thinking this adds years to the wait for a LH Fieldcraft, if they show up at all.

That micro actioned rifle looks to have a deep mag well.....Should hold 5 down in a 6.5 Grendel.
And weight less than 5 lbs...

JB reviewed a .243 in the November issue of "Rifle". Very nice indeed.
I want one, but the Kimber Hunter is more in line with my "budget"(!). My son just bought one of those in 6.5 and it's much nicer than I expected. I doubt that the twist in a .243 would be 1-8 thogh, given Kimber's past record.
What fresh Hell is this?
