Finally bit the bullet and ordered a new Fieldcraft in 308.
Question, I’m unsure about the bolt degree lift... so if I was adding a 1” Leupold VX3i 3.5-10x40 “ish” scope, will Talley lows work for proper cheek weld? I’d rather use extra low if possible, but lows would work.
Thanks

Thanks, I’ve only fondled a 6.5 CM version in Cabela’s once about 3 months ago, but it was naked.

I don't know if it's close to the same but I have 30 mm Talley lows on a Forbes with a swfa 3-9 x40 with bolt handle clearance.

Thanks Here’s my 6.5 CM FC with Talley Lows and a 3.5-10... bolt has plenty of clearance. I wish Talley made an X-Low for the FC. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/xTNB6x2f/barrett-6-5cm-06-09-19.jpg)

I might grab a 6.5 CM if I like the FC enough. I have several Kimber Montana’s, Weatherby ULW’s, Rem 700 Ti’s and a Browning Ti, but wanted to give Barrett a whirl since I’ve heard great things.

Mine is the Lipsey’s special with no.2 / 24” bbl. I wouldn’t want the no.1 / 21” bbl.
The FC is a specialty rifle. The bolt is undersized so all manner of crap and weather end up in the mag well. By no means a deal killer, but not something I’d want on every rifle. This is my second FC, and if Lipsey’s sees fit to offer a 308 with the no.2 bbl. I’ll be an owner.

The "horror",of Fence Hoppers fretting the schit they "might" "do". Congratulations?!?
I've beat on 'em,threw 'em around,kicked 'em around,shot the Gawwdamned Jeezus FHUQK out of them and even seen some weather...less anything nearing an "issue".
Pardon my breaking more Talley LW's than The Do NOTHING Gang has shot bullets.
It's never been difficult to cypher,who shoots and who don't.
Bless their hearts for fhuqking TRYING.
Hint.
