Posted By: Jpterry Barrett Fieldcraft 6.5x55 - 11/08/23
Love my Swedes but just have too many and this one has never been hunted with so putting it out there if there's any interest. Selling it for what I have in it with the 1" Talleys.

Bought it new, scoped it and took to range once to dial in scope with factory 140 SSTs. Shot it 6 times total and grouped them inside 3/4".

Stock has zero scratches, chips, etc. Only mark I can find on metal is a very tiny mark at end of barrel.

$2350 for rifle and rings shipped. AK and HA shipping will be actual cost to ship. Scope not included.

I love Swedes too. This is a rifle worth having.
Nice stick and an even better classic caliber.

Does the safety lock the bolt handle down on a Barrett? (google did not help). Also what is the max OAL accommodated by the magazine?

Thanks

These came with the 24" barrel, correct?

The safety does not lock the bolt on Fieldcrafts.

Can measure if needed or someone else might know exact but I believe it is 3.4" mag box.

Yes; #2.

For poster above, the bolt does not lock and max is just shy of 3.4.

Bolt does not lock with safe on, Max OAL 3.37in, yes 24 inch barrel. A least that's what mine in 6.5x55 measures.

The 6.5x55 is a good fit for the long action FC's mag box. Even with the shorter mag box, it still has room compared to some of the other long action cartridges. It's twisted for any of the longer bullets. I don't know how Barrett throated the 6.5x55's, but just looking at mechanics, it could be one of the best setups on the long action FC's.

For someone who likes the classic, and wants the performance of the current bullet options, this would be a good route.
Ok fine. Let’s keep this thing in GA.

I’ll take it!

Mine is the most accurate rifle I own, 5 120 Nosler BT's into 1/2" or less. Couldn't believe so I repeated over and over.

Same gun and caliber?

Also, met with Jason today to get the gun and man, I’m impressed! Solid gun and that just feels good! Ready to get it set up!
I have a 308 threaded and shot it in for groups today for the first time since owning this one and it was shooting half inch (maybe less) five shot groups at 100 yards with Norma 150s whitetail ( cheapest ammo Ive owned) I’ve had a good number of fieldcrafts and all have shot well, but this 308 has been the most accurate rifle I’ve owned, even more than my ULA 300 win. I had. I don’t think you’ll have any issues with accuracy. I do know from what I’ve read fieldcrafts prefer heavier bullets
