Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Barrett Fieldcraft is never coming back

Nice bull Judman. Where's the 1990's moly bullet technology and super-poseur scope?

I really like the FC's. Stock fit is great (for me), the short action is about perfection, all stainless, excellent bedding, twisted right. I like the slightly heavier contour on the special runs and the 22" barrel length....I really couldn't spec a better "custom" than the 22" cerakoted special run 6.5's.

Haha thanks. If bacon throat actually had to “hunt” it would be a fuucking miracle.. 😂😂

While Mel certainly saw the future,Ronnie simply connected all requisite mechanical dots. The advent of a S/S receiver is huge,as were the (5) 8x40's base fasteners. Hint.

Ergo's are subjective and I personally don't know anyone who prefers the FC version,over the Montucky's handle. As metal goes,it's not even close and FC steals The Show,for connecting all dots. Hint.



Don't mind the moisture,it's just more Crying Karen Melting Snowflakes..."living" vicariously. That High-Pitched Nasal Whine,sure is soothin' though! Hint.

LAUGHING!..............

I bet if someone asked "Mel" or "Ronnie" how Larry is doing, they say "who the hell is Larry!?"

Just ask if they know bacon throat, or LarryO!!! Haha

Poor poor(literally) Crying Karen. Just how many times a day do you think about me,on the average? While perusing wares WELL beyond your "means"...you "lucky" kchunt?!? Hint. Congratulations?!?



Pardon wares that exist,while you gals "get" to Pretend and GoogleFu,with ALL of your very WELL founded Insecurities. Hint.

Do NOT "forget",that Imitation is THE most Sincere form of Flattery. HINT.

LAUGHING!..................

LarryO!!! I do miss ya when your on your “hitches”!! Dig how you know him as “Mel” now!! 😂😂

Seeing moly bullets tells you all you need to know about poseur Larry

Agree.
The build quality and bedding as well.

For the price - especially when they were on sale - there wasn’t anything (factory) comparable.

Are you really?

We need more pics.........





Of Gene Imgram business cards..........

And rifles in the crick.

LarryO!!! The kreedmire kid.... 😂😂

I wish I’d bought one in .30-06. They are made nearby.

What’s going to be interesting is the price once they hit the shelves again after folks paying ridiculous prices for them.

I’m sure it’s happened before somewhere along the line, but reintroduction and improvements usually don’t come to market at lower prices. Think gen 2 Alaskan ti, LAW professional II, etc. *IF* it ever happens, the devaluation of the dollar alone will necessitate a higher MSRP. I’d personally rate the chance of seeing them again as low; and the chance of seeing them for $1799 as even lower.

You can build a custom for a lot less than $1800..

I see several on gunbroker starting at $2499.99.

My 270 Fieldcraft is very accurate but I keep thinking of selling it because since I got my ULA all others get passed by when I head out to hunt..

True, but lets count it up to match what you get with the lightweight FC using build options:

1. Defiance anTi mediaum action: $995
2. AG Composites CAT stock: $549
3. Lightweight stainless barrel of your choice: $325
4. Smith work for barrel: $325
5. Full length bedding: $100
6. Mag box, follower, spring, bottom metal/trigger guard: ~$100

...that's about $2394 with no shipping costs or tax added in. I didn't add in little things like the np3 bolt coating, etc. Just the action, stock, and barrel without install are $1869.

Of course if you want to build off a 700 you can do it cheaper....but you're not using a 20 oz action + trueing, etc... You can build something for less than $1800 but it will be very hard to match what you get apples to apples with the FC.

I’d agree with those numbers. Heck I think you worked a little cheap on labor. But yeah, generally your numbers are right on.

Just like building a bolt gun that matches a Kimber. Pretty danged tough.
