Hello! Looking for a threaded barrel 243, 6CM, or 7mm-08. Would consider trading a NIB Cooper Backcountry in 300wm.

Bump!
I read about Barrett's recent sale to an Australian company, and the head of that company loves the Fieldcraft and is planning to bring it back to life. Good news for the FC fans!

That's only for the Australian market. I'll be ordering a 7mm-08

I read the press release too--I did not surmise that the FC was for the Australian market only, what did I miss?

Can you tell us where you got that info? Thanks

Until there's something official on a return I'll believe it when I see it. It's a good sign the new owner likes his 243 I guess.

Sorry, that was intended as a joke.
From what I've read about the Fieldcraft I really like the specs and I like the 7mm-08 so I think that would be a nice combination.
I do hope the Fieldcraft returns and we all get what we want.

While we are placing orders I'll take a 7 twist 223 with a longer mag box for 88's...

Is there anything else you would settle on if you can't find a Feildcraft?
I looked at a review on a Kimber but the reviewers showed in many ways it's their Standard barrelled action in a CF stock.
I do believe the Fieldcraft was designed and engineered to be a scaled lightweight rifle to fit a niche market.
I've never handled one, but from what I understand the Fieldcraft wants to be a ULA/NULA. The problem is it can't.
If I were you and wanted to expedite the wait, I'd look for a Forbes or Colt Light Rifle in a caliber you like and send it into a guy that can still give it the Melvin treatment.
You don't really see the Fieldcraft on the secondary market much.
