[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 198612, member: 412"] Barrett bought the rights to the Forbes Rifle Company line. Then went to full SS action/bbl, put in a Timney trigger, used their own barrels with twist rates that allow buyers to take advantage of where projectile R&D has gone. Additionally, they've increased the space within the internal box magazines for the same reason. Lastly, they've chambered/throated them so that high BC bullets can be seated at or into the lands and still cycle through the magazine. Showing some proactive thinking, they also introduced suppressor friendly barrel lengths, a shoulder to support the suppressor, and obviously threaded. IMO, the Fieldcraft is a shining example of what can be done by a rifle company, run by folks who are, and prioritize shooters/hunters first. They're doing all of the things that folks previously paid gunsmiths thousands of $$ to do, often with significant lead times. The real novel thing about the Barrett, is that the diameter of the action is sized for non-magnum cartridges with the payoff being a significant weight savings and a very slim profile that's easy to manipulate. Upsizing diameter to accommodate magnum cases sort of defeats the purpose. [/QUOTE]
