[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2238201, member: 106514"] This x100 if you want an ultralight tack driver. My 25-06 is a ragged hole tack driver with 115gr BSTs and runs them to 3300ft/s with 24" barrel. The stock is indestructible. The .25-06 has a 1:9 Twist. The short action models come with a 21" barrel. Long actions come with 24" pipes. The 6.5x55 is included with the long actions. I believe they have both a 243 and a 6 Creedmoor in fast twists, but with 21" barrels. Also a 22-250 fast twist. The Fieldcraft is the remnant of Melvin Forbes' design and are made, I believe, on his tooling purchased and moved from his Maine headquarters after his partners excluded him from his own business and ran it into the ground. These are the real deal, and now made in Tennessee. Good luck finding one now... the secret is out. Barrett has a combat-type weapon also called the Fieldcraft. That's confusing, but a glance will show the difference quickly. Also, Melvin went back to work at his place, and was still making rifles to order as of a year or so ago. [/QUOTE]
