Retumbo on the other hand is rare to find online. You ain't about that life.

I always point them in the direction of Barrett or Seekins depending on their needs.

Right now a really interesting sporter and lightweight pair would be the Seekins Havak PH2 and the Seekins Havak Element, both in 6.5 PRC. Seekins put a little thought to it with an extended detachable mag for the PRC with a 3.14" length. I'd like to play with one of the Element rifles. Neat concept with the aluminum action. It's light, I do think the stock will be a little bulkier than I prefer on a lightweight when carrying it in my hand.....I'd like to prove myself wrong though.

Quite the novel approach,given most of the Industry! Hint.(grin) The 264 PRICK don't do much for me and I'd personally be slow to creep away from AICS footprint mags and DBM inlets. I'd happily go to lesser case length,to eek more boolit and binderless AICS DBM's for me,there. The .284" Hornie 190gr Beer Can steals alotta "thunder",not that a 284-264 PRICK wouldn't do nice thangs at 3.140" COAL latitude,with same(understatement). Tough to forget all of that great brass in S/A .473" boltface though. Hint. Which reminds me,I've a new 7mm laying in wait to be assembled,if only to multiple Crying Karen chagrins. Hint.

I purchased an old stock Forbes 280AI from Outpost, they were fine to deal with. Interesting they are lower serial numbers!

alpinecrick Campfire Ranger A Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 26,196 West Slope of Colorado	Originally Posted by 01Foreman400 What’s going to be interesting is the price once they hit the shelves again after folks paying ridiculous prices for them. Yeah, everybody remembers the fire sale prices of $1200-$1300.........but not the original street price of $1700-$1800. Given the last few years and future inflation, the street price of future Fieldcraft production will probably be well north of $2000 without any untoward markup by Barrett, and then everybody will scream "It's a nice rifle but not worth that much!" Barrett is probably taking that into consideration.......... Casey Not being married to any particular political party sure makes it a lot easier to look at the world more objectively... Having said that, MAGA.
