It don't get no simpler than that. It's always nice to stay positive and hopeful. Cheers!
I guess that is my wish list, that no one else goes under and that the common man can provide for their families.

So far looks like 6 cm, 6.5 c.m, 308, for short action. 7 mag, 300 wsm, 300 win, 26 nos, 28 nos for long action. I did see a Browning rep say 300 rum in an Instagram post, have to wait and see. I'd also like to see 6.5 prc, and 280 ai.
Just what I found on another forum, Burris haven't updated their website, I imagine after the unveiling at the Shot Show there will be a flood of info and results from shooters that have have been testing them in 2018
Huge field of view for that optic. I wonder if they'll offer their moa reticles. I do like the specs of it! 300 norma is about done, so I need to get optics sorted out soon.

.28 Nosler in that rifle has me intrigued. With a $1,299 you know the actual MAP is going to be probably less than $1000. Hopefully they'll have the 1:8 twists.
Outdoor Life reported that Barrett will offer the Fieldcraft in 280 Ackley Improved. Nothing from the company yet. I assume it will be 1:8 twist. Nice addition.

That is super appealing to me - anybody have any experience with the fieldcraft in general? Good, bad, ugly?
I have a new Fieldcraft in 6mm CM that I'm just working up. I also own one of the failed Forbes rifles in 7mm-08 - the rifle now displaced by the Fieldcraft. The Forbes has its warts, but shoots and carries well. The Fieldcraft, from what I can tell so far, overcame all of the warts and added some welcome improvements (faster twist). It's constructed very well, and weighs 5.2 lbs naked. I'll need a few more days before I can be of any more help.

Why keep making something that just doesn't sell, especially when the 6.5 CM is so well supported across the industry with factory ammunition.
Finally a smart business decision out of Remington

It does sell...Not as much as the CM, thanks to Remington's continuous screwups. If Remington would just give it a f'ing chance, instead of continuing to bring it back, then wipe it out, then bring it back for a short while, then wipe it out again...It would probably do MUCH better than it has been. It was making a fairly strong comeback this time, too. I swear their Fuddy Board of Directors must have been dropped on their heads at some point in their lives...Because nobody can be that stupid...Except maybe Democrats and liberals...But we already knew that.
