Gotcha. Well I've hunted around quite a bit on line and the only stuff I've found could hardly be considered legit. I wish I could be more of a resource. If you find one and they've got another, let me know and I'll do the same.
You're probably aware but Wilson combat purchased NULA, and the barret was more or less a NULA copy.
So if you really want one, call Wilson combat and order a new one.
Edit- holy crap I'm reading $4200
I'd just rebarrel a Montana for that money.

Appreciate the info CA, I have it on good-ish authority that when you scope the barrels of the 2 guns you might be less inclined to think they are copies of one another. For me, having handled and shot a couple Fieldcrafts, it's what I want. I could be wrong- it's happened once a buncha times.
Might be over your budget, but I keep toying with listing mine. It's 6.5CM though. 21" non-threaded.
Got it from Whittakers as an unfired floor demo. I believe it was the last one they had. Still have the box and paperwork. Has never been fired or had rings/bases on. Also have 1" Talley Lightweights that can go with it from a 243 FC I used to have. $2,400 shipped to your FFL.
PM me if interested or if you want pics.

If Wilson bought Nula that's all cool, they're were always better than the barret. Barret got their cheaper pedigree from the Forbes line of rifles. Melvin partnered with a group, created Forbes, they went tits up(have a few, no 243s). Barret went to Forbes group and bought/took over design. Much better finished product. Barrett still has rights to that line of rifles, as in sub 1500$ lightweights, however due to gov contracts had to change tooling back over to Mil weapons. This is the story Barrett told me last fall. I wanted a 6.5x55. Mevin is old as hell now, been making some the most accurate lightweight rifles under Ultralight Arms, then after a failed joint venture, New Ultralight Arms(Nula). I'm glad to hope he made a good chunk of money to see him comfortably throug the rest his days selling out to Wilson. Hopefully they can keep the quality up, and meet demand. Nobody will probably do it like Melvin did though.You're probably aware but Wilson combat purchased NULA, and the barret was more or less a NULA copy.

Are you still looking for the .243 fieldcraft? I have one that I don't really want to part with, but I might due to financial reasons. It is the 18" threaded version. Has a Leopold scope mounted on Talley low profile mounts. (not sure of the power off hand) It only has about 5 rounds through it. I believe there may be one or two scratches on it from the past couple of deer seasons. It's by far my favorite rifle and it disgusts me that I'm even thinking about parting with it.
Honestly, I'm not much of a hunter. I typically go for the company and to get away from the city. Out of the 4 rifles I own, yes it is my favorite. When I do have range time, I mainly concentrate on handguns due to the crime rate in the city. Not that this really deserves a response, but I'll definitely have seller's remorse if I let this go.Only 5 rounds through it and it’s your favorite rifle?
Yup, I joined because this thread popped up in my search results when I was searching for something else on Google to do with this rifle. But critique away my friend.
I thought I was quite respectful in my response as 2 people seemed to question my validity almost instantly. If anything it makes me want to leave. I'm well aware that I'll get responses of don't let the door hit you... I have a rifle someone else was looking for. That's it. We have had a conversation and pics and such were exchanged. With that, have a good evening and a happy new year.
If you ever decide to sell it, please give me a call first. Like leave my name and number in the box. It was a pleasure doing business with you. Thanks again.
There out there.Found a 6.5 and 30/06 in the last month both 24 inch.
Just suck it up if its not the exact length,i may cut down one of mine.I have a alot of questions for some of you guys that are more experienced before i decide.

Im going to need to decide what optic and game im going to use each for but mainly balistics type info.
Also i dont currently shoot surpressed but it may be smart to have it done if i cut down anyway
.Im just hooked up at work and actually haven’t thought about it much.I did buy a nxs2-10x42 moar scope i planned for the 6.5.Not sure what im going to do on the 06.
