[QUOTE="SilverbulletMAG, post: 1596844, member: 108181"] Last weekend I got the rifle sighted in and started the break-in. Only have 60 rounds down the tube at this point with cheap PPU ammo. I'll save my final verdict for once I start load development for this rifle but as a whole, the fit and finish is exactly what you'd expect from a Barrett and the rifle shoulders nicely. Worth noting I'm a lefty and it still fits me well. Obviously it would be better if they had this is a lefty model but it's an ambi-friendly stock. It' kicks as you would expect from a light rifle but isn't as bad as some made it out to be. Way less than my 338 Win Mag. I do wish they had a threaded barrel on all of the Fieldcraft rifles however. Definitely something they need to address in version 2.0....assuming/hoping it comes at least. Very happy with the rifle though and hope to start doing some seating depth testing this weekend with 175 VLDs, 178 ELDX and 180 Accubonds. Depending on how that goes, I also plan to test some various 200 grain pill and maybe 212 ELDX. [/QUOTE]
