    Barrett Fieldcraft 6.5 wonky chamber

    the marring to brass really only happens when there is rounds in the magazine. More rounds more force to close the bolt more marring. There is a pretty regular vertical scratch(lengthwise along the case) that starts at the shoulder and goes down the body about 1/8" to 3/16 on the affected...

    Barrett Fieldcraft 6.5 wonky chamber

    Its all factory rounds, but it is all one brand. Only had to try out 140 and 147 hornady eldm to find something that shoots ~.5moa. The spring sound is on all shots no difference between 1st rounds or 10th. Its not really the sound of the shot or muzzle blast. Its from like inside the gun...

    Barrett Fieldcraft 6.5 wonky chamber

    Hi all, I put in a call to Barrett but they are out today so I need to call Monday and I will. Just wanted to maybe get some thoughts here in mean time. I have a 6.5 fieldcraft with 18in threaded barrel, I bought it second hand just before covid hit the states. It had I believe ~40 rds stated...

    Rowing Machine Recommendations

    Waterrower for me, the sound, smoothness, and look hands down. If you want games, training etc ergatta uses waterrowers as part of their system you can buy all together or add it to a water rower you already have

    Sitka Fanatic alternative

    Has the fanatic ever been sold in solid colors? I'm sure some will crucify me at even asking but I'm just not much into camo. Even the cabelas wooltimate stuff is camo only. Trying to find something in this warmth range but solids doesn't seem possible

    Kimber Open Country

    Anyone with any more experience with these? Especially the carbon barrel model? Wish it would have a shorter 18" carbon barrel option and it'd be almost exactly like the fieldcraft. Doing a barrel swap could save almost a pound but at over $3k for the gun alone your looking at a $4k "semi"...

    Next ultra light rifle options?

    checks the boxes for sure but being a bit shallow on a $2k+ purchase its "ugly as sin" to quote another member lol. Weighing if that matters enough to me or not though

    Next ultra light rifle options?

    is that even available anymore (outside covid bottlenecks)? I thought I read it was discontinued circa 2019? Secondary market would be a possibility though I guess.

    Next ultra light rifle options?

    I didn't start this planning on dropping $3k+ on a custom but honestly now that fieldcrafts are locked in a well likely to never see the light of day by Barrett again and any secondary market examples are going for custom gun money it seems to have made the decision for me. The savage...

    Next ultra light rifle options?

    Do the kimber still have a non 5/8x24 threaded barrel? I know its very slim so getting a suppressor on it last time I was looking seemed tricky or needing an adaptor. Same with the weatherby, pencil thin barrel needing an adaptor seems savage seems most cost effective right now, but heaviest...

    Next ultra light rifle options?

    Looking to get another rifle and since I can't find any Barret Fieldcrafts trying for the next best thing. Looking for 6.5cm, ~5.2lbs, threaded barrel will have a dedicated suppressor either TBAC ulta 5 or a dominus cb, 18" or 16.5" barrel willing to hear either side, still waffling on...

    Arca Swiss, BOG, and Sirui

    Just a heads up, to anyone trying to mix BOG and Sirui. I just bought the BOG deathgrip ultralite clamp that goes on the top of a tripod to hold a rifle, it says arca-swiss compatible. I also have a sirui va-5 head which is arca swiss. Well the Bog is too small across and the va-5 doesn't...
