Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles New Barrett and gun shop craziness

Mine will group the Hornady 108 eldm into about 1/4 in. The 6 mm CM is going to be my deer rifle this year for sure.

^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^

I have two of the Fieldcraft 6CMs and they both perform like that right out of the box.

Ok you were sarcastic fine , but remember this anytime you have empty brass ,you don't have enough ammo and just like there is no such thing as to much money ,there is no such thing as to much ammo. MB

Fwiw I burn through 1k of 9x19 every two months.

I can’t reload 9x19 as cheaply as I can buy it.

My 270 win F C groups every time I shoot it. Less than 1/2". 130gr. Nosler Partitions.

I’d probably buy a 6 creed in a Fieldcraft if I could find the right deal. FYI my 6.5 shoots the eld-x well under an inch all day, every day. Give us a range report!

As far as gun shop craziness, I’ve only heard about it. I’ve not stepped foot in one for a month or more. I did call my buddy and he said his store is going crazy with business! First time gun buyers are a dime a dozen right now. Crazy times. I hear tale that even once (self proclaimed) anti-gun folks are buying handguns and home defense shotguns....let’s see how that goes.

Mine does the same with hand loaded 108s.

More likely TIA, transient ischemic attack, some folks like to shoot. I continue to twitch when I think about getting the OP's rifle. Seeing your hits through the scope is a concept that haunts this 308w shooter.

Has anyone heard if Barrett is going to start making the Fieldcraft again.

Yes . Due to hit retail shelves April 1, 2022 as reported here.

Hah! How times have changed!

Thank you for the laugh...

Just thinking on costs.....I haven't run the numbers. It may still be cheaper to buy than reload if you look at the current price of primers!

Practice is a thing....

Well I ran them, based on new brass and Sierra HP bullets purchased this year, and powder and primers I have at what I paid for them awhile back. Came to just over $.50 each, but of course the brass is a one-time expense, kinda-sorta.

Last 9mm ammo I bought, in August, was some Winny Whitebox HB, in a pack of 1000, all I could find online that day. Those were $.38 each, tax and shipping included. That Winny usually seems to run a bit more than most imports.

Not gonna figure it with current crazy-azz primer prices, since I have plenty, and this nonsense will pass, before I run out.🤞🏻

LOL ! ! ! ... I have new primed brass that I bought several years ago where the primers that are now worth more than what I paid for the brass and primers...

I called Barrett last week to ask about the Fieldcraft. I was told that they have contracts in place for other guns in to next year but it was possible that they might make them again in 2022 or later. It didn’t sound real likely to me.

WTF would you name yourself after a fungal disease?

It's new to some.
