[QUOTE="Bed Wetter, post: 198588, member: 428"] At this point, I should probably just give SDMF a credit card and instructions to come back with a rifle. This is my most recent fascination. The Fieldcraft seems to be a lot more than just a copycat Kimber Montana. The similarities stop at “lightweight rifle with carbon fiber stock.” The first thing that gets my attention is the enlarged muzzle for mounting a silencer. The more I learn about threading muzzles on lightweight barrels, the more I’ve learned that it’s “full retard” to put 7/16” threads on a long skinny barrel for the purposes of mounting a suppressor. Barrett came up with a simple solution: [ATTACH=CONFIG]19487._xfImport[/ATTACH] Other points of interest: - double stress relieved barrels that prevent accuracy from going to hell when the barrel heats up - long box mags to accommodate longer bullets (3.02” for the short actions) and - tight barrel twist rates - 3 scope ring holes on the front ring so you can move the ring forward or back on the receiver to better accommodate your scope and eye relief - larger scope ring base screws - a more closed/angled grip - one piece bolt held in place by intelligent seating and a pin - room made throughout action so dirt has a place to go - “perfect” feeding (according to Barrett) - multiple reports of 6.5 CM being sub-MOA with pretty much any load you feed it - stocks individually fitted and serialized to the action There’s some other stuff. I’ll update the OP when my memory is jogged. [/QUOTE]
