That stinks. There were two left after I bought one at 11:30cst. Perhaps someone else bought the last two offered while your were shopping. I do see they’re $1559 now, but out of stock.

The .243s are still on sale for $1149.


Thank you sir, but I wanted the one in 6.5X55 Swede. I guess I could call them tomorrow but I have no way of proving it. Never imaged the price would change.

If anyone sees a 18'5" 7-08 on a deal let me know. I don't have a problem running that short of barrel with a 7-08 given it's a fairly efficient cartridge. That would motivate me to pay the tax and get a muffler.

Last I talked to Barrett they said there weren't many 7-08s out there now because their current barrels in 7mm just weren't shooting up to their standard. They said they were in the process of working it out. I really appreciated that kind of candor from a gun company. It tells me they're testing their stuff before releasing it. I guess some of the earlier ones were good but maybe they switched barrel suppliers and the new one doesn't have the 7s dialed in. I think they're running Green Mtn now.

Now I need to get my 6 creed dies coming, a few more 105 hornady bthps, and some alpha brass. If the planets align I may have it deer hunting this year.

For scope I'm thinking SS 3-9 and I happen to have a new one of those on the shelf. It's a favorite of mine but given the cookie cutter eye piece I prefer them on low recoil rigs. It was slotted for my 8 twist 22-250 T3x but I think the Tikka will have to wait.

I've yet to run a 105 hornady bthp through a deer but I have used the Bergers. Given the price on the hornadys I'm going to start there this time.

Any holes in my plan? Who owns a fieldcraft 6 creed?

The 243 stainless classic I just picked up just got moved to a back burner.

That is certainly news if so. I thought they made their own.

As of about 2yrs. ago all their barrels were made by Green Mtn.

Coulda had a really nice used rifle for $1,150. Be Well. Rusty Ehhhhh out of stock anyway. Check in the classifieds here and at Accurate Reloading, and Shooters Forum. You will find one soon, and for that money with optics and a bipod and sling. Man of Iron Oxide on Fastener, Slide.

Damn,

I have a 6CM Fieldcraft but wanted another that is threaded.

Mine is an amazing little rifle that did a great job on predators last fall.
Perfect wolf rifle!

Whew! it looked like 6 centimeters which would be quite the naval gun, making their .50 brownings look like pipsqueaks.

Stick, the BTHP's shoot better than the Amax's in my 6CFC for sure, but it's nice to have options that shoot good right out of the box.

What's the plan for the 243?

You might want to call and ask them.

Historically, sometimes the retail store carries the sale a bit longer and if so you might get that price. Might be worth a try. REALLY tempting, but I have another project at the moment.
