I must admit that I'm a little depressed now that the cheap Fieldcrafts and cheap Kimbers are gone. I think I'll call in the AM to see if they have anything else. Damn. Just damn.

And thanks for the Leupold 20 MOA rail hint. It's lower than the Talley and cheaper. I have 3 coming. Steve, where’s the best place to obtain? Gotta get a rail too. I bought the last 2 from Midway and the last one from Graf’s. Graf’s was cheaper. Don’t know where to tell you now. Lol. $37 from Optics Planet with free shipping. I meant I bought the last 2 Midway had and the last one Graf's had.

Watching the inventory numbers fall, should I press the button or stay strong & concentrate on 4 or 5 rifles here that I have & haven't even gotten ready, much less adding another.
Five 243 's left & I was getting weak, then bam! they disappeared. Some joker bought 4 in one lick, I thanked him under my breath & felt liberated for being strong & sticking with the stuff I've got. Thinking I'd have really bad buyers remorse if I'd pulled the trigger.
That lasted about a day, & dammit! I wish I had a 243 Fieldcraft! Now, buyers remorse for not getting one. I are a rifle looney I guess.
Enjoy them guys !!

I missed the first batch of 243's and caught the 2nd batch. Too bad the dealer bought them up before members could get them. I think I got in right under the wire on all but the 22-250 - bought that one early on. Just lucky, I guess.

Dang. What’s left at a deal that’s threaded?? Wouldn’t mind a fast twist 22 -250. Have multiple 6mm’s, but could be persuaded to buy another I’m sure

Went through the list on the FC's I have. Still waiting on the 243 - should be here tomorrow. Also waiting on a few more Leupold rails. Should be here tomorrow.
1) Adjusted trigger down to 2.25 lbs on the 22-250 and 2.5 lbs on others.
2) Drilled out the excess epoxy bedding material in the pillars.
3) Disassembled bolt and cleaned and greased.
4) Degreased mount holes and mount screws and installed mount and scopes. Shortened front screw so no contact with barrel threads.
5) Degreased action screws and holes and torqued with blue loctite.
Triggers are excellent (Timneys). Bolt lift is good after cleaning and degreasing. Can't wait to zero and check accuracy. Love these rifles!

Kicking myself for not getting one. Should have grabbed a 18in 6 Creedmoor. Any more on the way?

I'll trade a 18" 243 for a 18" 6mm Creed straight up.... Mine only has 20 rounds down the pipe.
