Fieldcraft is about to be back on the menu boys

What action did you go with? Who did the full length bedding?

I went with a Mack Bros Evo II action. Again, you'll have to pick whatever non-Barrett action you want. The Evo II is the same finish as the barrel so I liked the look (along with it being really solid action). There are lighter ones out there, if keeping weight down is a priority, which is kind of the spirit behind the Fieldcraft.

For bedding, I had planned to have it done but sold it before I ever got around to it. I still read conflicting opinions on full length bedding, but I generally think it's fine. Especially when you have a pencil-thin barrel, it kind of holds it all together very nicely.

Yes and only $4,650 … Also does that weight include the detachable magazine?

What are the values on the original non threaded barrels? I have a 308 but would love a threaded barrel version.

Probably in the $2200 and up, just depends on the caliber. I’d say a 308 would be 2800 ish

Thanks, I almost traded my Barrett and Leupold scope for a Christenson Arms. May have to negotiate a bit more.

Don't do it!!

Do you think $2500 would be a reasonable asking price? Not sure what Leupold scope is on it.It's been in my safe for a couple years, just took it out to clean and decided to shoot. Love the thing but want something with a suppressor for my daughter.

Any reason not to just have the fieldcraft cut and threaded for a can?

I’d definitely hold onto it vs your other option.

As a guy that sold a couple Fieldcrafts, if I could go back to that time when I sold them, I would beat my own ass so badly that i couldn’t type the ads to sell them.

Just for what it’s worth.

I'm worried I'd have the same feeling if I sold my 7mm-08 Kimber Montana . Yes, I know not a Fieldcraft, but not easy to come by either.

I don’t think there’s much difference between the two if you’re comfortable doing some troubleshooting on a Montana. Certainly not a thousand+ bucks. They are excellent rifles.

Mine seems to shoot fine...never had to do any of the "fixes".

I have a Fieldcraft and a Montana. I don't see ever selling either. The time or two it crossed my mind I soon realized that was just crazy thinking!

I’ve never had to do anything remarkable either, I usually just bed the lug and make sure no screws are binding up and they’ve all shot pretty damn well.

The old Kimber 7mm08. Hmm, think I've heard of them at some time.....
