I have an excuse. As soon as I read that the bolt would lock down, my thinking became consumed with thoughts about which chambering I should buy first. Yeah. Between that and the promise of LH models, I lost my cool. Most normal hoaxsters aren't smooth enough to slip that one in there. Haha.
I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

I just about ran to Gunbroker to list mine at $2500. Thinking I'd buy two when the new ones came out, Haha!

......They are working on the long action to increase coal..... I started grinning as soon as I read the above. AKwolverine has been newly hired by Barrett as the CH&D (Crushed Hopes and Dreams) Executive. This is the one I was concerned about being a bit of a “stretch”.

Having just purchased one in 6.5 CM on Wednesday, I laughed at the expected retail price of $1299. Since I have one of every other Melvin Forbes "influenced" rifles (ULA, NULA, Forbes, Colt Light Rifle) I figured I should round out the group with a Barrett. I read on here that they were stopping/suspending production and a couple of days later I saw this one at Sportsman Warehouse and I got to thinking about it. Came back a week later and it was still there - I bought it. I have no plans to shoot it, at least for awhile as I have several other projects underway.

Just heard from Kalispell that Kimber Manufacturing has purchased the rights to the Fieldcraft product line. They'll be producing "Fieldcraftform" stocks to fit Kimber Hunters and Remington 700 ADLs, with required internal magazine box, spring and followers when necessary. The MSRP will be $325. Comes out in about a month from now.

I don’t think Kimber could get a wet dream from conception to market in one month. Even if it did occur on April 1!

I left my finger prints all over it, but kept my cash in my pocket....... they are exceptional.

I heard they are coming back with a few improvements. They are working on the long action to increase coal. We will finally see a 223, a 22 creed, a 280 AI, and even a new mag face bolt chambered for the 6.5 PRC. Safety is being updated to a proprietary system that locks the bolt. Stock is being re-designed to be somewhat slimmer. A left hand version will be available and will be introduced at the same time as the right. New MSRP is reported to be $1299; launch date slated for 04/01/22. 🖕🏻

I would too! I don’t think they could keep up with demand OR quality at that price, however.
