Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bed Wetter" data-source="post: 198599" data-attributes="member: 428">Quick update: I’m selling all my rifles now that I have a Barrett Fieldcraft so keep your eye on the classifieds.Long story short, I had the Barrett barrel threaded 1/2”x28 and mounted a suppressor on it and it’s an absolute dream to shoot.Full disclosure: I don’t hunt much anymore. I am a poor shooter. Lightweight rifles are my kryptonite. I shoot them with the finesse of a dog dragging his ass across a rug. Before adding a silencer, I went through a box of Hornady 140gr ELD Match barely able to keep a group under 3” with this rifle. After threading the barrel and adding a silencer, I put together one 5-shot group @ 100 and it was a 1.15”. A friend who is a much more experienced shooter shot a single 5-shot group at 200 yds and it was 1.55”.Details:- 7 lb 12oz is the total loaded weight of rifle with silencer. The scope is a Leica ER 2.5-10x42 (~15oz) on Talley rings.- The silencer is a Silencerco Omega 300 (14.5 oz) directly threaded to the barrel (as opposed to a quick detach mount). I don’t know if I’d mount a silencer on a 21” featherweight barrel with a heavier silencer.- The Barrett barrel is fully bedded to the end of the forend. I believe this helps to reduce harmonic imbalance and barrel droop that may have been more pronounced with a free floated barrel.- Recoil was cut by 30-40% with the silencer. Muzzle rise was virtually nonexistent. No joke.- My silencer has a brake (of sorts) on the end of it. This brake combined with the 14oz weight on the end of the barrel are the reason for the incredible reduction in recoil. A silencer without this brake would likely still help quite a bit, but not as much.Conclusion: If you’re willing to spend more than $1k on a hunting rifle and you buy anything other than a Barrett Fieldcraft, you’re probably a Communist who hates Jesus, America, electronic lottery applications, and titty sprinkles.A few pics:The action and barrel are glass bedded to a serialized carbon fiber stock. The bedding runs from the action to the very end of the stock.
