Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds No One wants a scoped Fieldcraft 25-06 for $2,450

Not many deals to be had on GB especially with the tax fees and super inflated shipping most want to charge.

Wrong, you've never had a Fieldcraft! I have a couple NULA rifles, Kimbers and semi custon 700's and like the FC the best! Mine will not be for sale, going in the box with me when I head for the Happy Hunting Grounds!

I think folks paying high prices for firearms has been paused temporarily. Even very desirable firearms.

Model 7 $750.00
AG Stock $600.00
Custom Barrel $650.00
Pro Bedding $150.00
Trigger Job $125.00
Freight $150.00 To and from Gunsmiths and suppliers

Total $2425.00 Total Resale after it isn't exactly what you want $1350.00, maybe. Been there done that too many times. BTW this all takes 6 or 8 months if you are lucky. It might be easier to lay off the taters and gravy!

Switch is correct. If "shoot just as well" and cost are the only considerations, then maybe....but there's a lot more happening with a Fieldcraft, especially the short action Fieldcrafts. Nothing else puts it all together like a short action Fieldcraft. To get a stainless short action with a 3" mag box at the same weight, you've got to go custom, and you're going to end up at a higher cost than even the inflated cost Fieldcrafts.

Stainless, 3" mag box, ~20 oz action weight, quality synthetic stock, quality bedding, quality barrel with a fast twist and chambered well.....custom is the only way to get there and it's hard to do at less cost than a Fieldcraft.

Yep. I've got several custom M7's. You'll never get a 3" mag box with a M7.

Tastes differ, I am not impressed with Fieldcrafts the stocks feel like a club to me.

+1
I have owned ULA, NULA, Kimber, Dakota, Winchester, Remington and customs. I'm still impressed with the SA Fieldcrafts.
Just sayin'.

What’s wrong with a LA besides more weight and less efficient?

Exactly

I don't know because I never owned one!

I feel the same. Have owned ula, kimber, McMillan custom 700s but just couldn’t love the fieldcrafts. HOWEVER, I had a 22-250 and a 6.5x55 and both shot lights out!

I didn't know there were too many 22-250s out there. I'd like one.

I have a 22-250 fieldcraft...what ammo did you use in yours?

The fact that there's a very limited supply is whats driving the FC prices more than anything. The one I had was a nice rifle but it wasn't any better to me than a Seekins or a Bergara Premier, or even a T3x dropped into an aftermarket stock. Even after owning one I don't get the infatuation with them that other people seem to have with them

Nothing really wrong with them. They have a limited mag box OAL. Still, the ones I've owned have shot very well.

Dave, you have MY 22-250. I shot 36 gr varmint grenades.

Yeah the demand has really fallen off a cliff for FC’s.

I really like my long action fieldcraft. 270 win. 60 gr. of H4831 130 NP, under 1/2" all the time. I like my Kimbers also.

Maybe, maybe not.
Price driven way up by two low count (1 or 2 transaction) bidders after seller had it listed on another forum and told everyone it was worth about what it is currently bid at. I’m a bit dubious on that one.
