Oh man, the grass is greener, sky more blue, life has meaning now!
For all the boomers that bought a half dozen to look at and never use, now might be the time to find some idiot that will pay 3.5k for yours.....prices could fall if they get put back into production. I saw more Manbunners and tight ass Capri pants boys like yourself with them, all in 6.5 Creed man! If I had any hair left it’d probably be in a bun. I picked up a brand new 6.5 Craftbeer Fieldcraft with 22” threaded barrel for $1450 out the door. Promptly spray painted it, then used it to tag a speed goat and whitetail. Now I just kind of look at it and whisper sweet nothings to it, wishing I could spend time hunting again…
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

People around here get orgasmic over these fieldcrafts. They were a well put together package - especially the short actions. They were never playground approved, however.

CRS, you must have one hell of a wingspan!
The comments from the new owner do sound encouraging for the possibility of it coming back. It was quite awhile ago when I handled a Fieldcraft, and my gray hair could be confusing me.  Shows 13 3/4 LOP, maybe I felt it was too long. I prefer 13 5/8/. No matter the reason, I did not buy one. Glad they are making a comeback.

I may have missed it- will they be manufactured in North America or will production be moved to Australia?

CRS, I found one a few years back and felt the LOP was too short as well. I was really wanting one, or so I thought. I shouldered Kimber Montana and it felt better to me. When I find one in a chambering I want I may buy one. Heck, maybe I’ll give a Feildcraft another chance when they come back.

Notice the same guys orgasmic over the fieldcraft are typically the same guys advocating 3 pound ffp 34 mm tube scopes. I guess you need a light rifle to tote it.

Who care's if it is. Much prefer the Montana.......Sold my Two Field Crafts for all the "usual reasons". Crazy long Length of pull, "Clubby fuggin stock", heavy ass bolt lift, gap between bolt and action to allow all kinda bullSh8t to fall into "blind mag"..........ETc, ETc, ETc,
