[QUOTE="dennisinaz, post: 1677233, member: 40966"] Those of you who have or have shot a Fieldcraft, how accurate are they? What exactly is acceptable to Barrett? Reason I ask is that I have been pulling my hair out with a 6.5 Creedmoor that shoots 3 shots into .7- .75 MOA for the first group or two after cleaning and each successive group seems to get bigger. I just swapped scopes- no help. I have tried Hornady Precision hunter 143 ELD-X, Hornady match 120 ELD-M, Sierra 130 TGK and the new Berger ammo with the 140 Hybrid. The 120 match shoots the worst but maybe it wouldn't if I tried it first after cleaning. I let it cool way down. By the 5th group I'm up to 2" ++ 3 shot groups. I did shoot a few 5 shot groups but didn't see the point when 3 shot groups were so awful. Looking for any examples. If all of them shoot like this then OK, it didn't work out but I'm hoping this is a lemon. [/QUOTE]
