Digital Managing Editor Shawn Skipper discusses the Barrett Sovereign Rutherford, the latest addition to our #SundayGunday series.

Get a closer look at the new lightweight Fieldcraft rifle that Barrett announced at the 145th NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits.

As you may have heard, nowadays Barrett does a bit more than just its famous .50-caliber semi-automatic rifle. Just what do we mean by more? Shotguns.

Barrett, a manufacturer long known primarily for its .50-cal tactical rifles, branched into a whole new market in 2016 with the addition of the Sovereign line of double-barrel shotguns, and the Tennessee-based company has done it again this year with the introduction of the Fieldcraft, a lightweight, bolt-action hunting rifle.

Barrett has announced its new match grade .416 Barrett ammo, which according to the company, has a much higher ballistic coefficient than its previous .416 bullet.

The Fieldcraft is a sweet little rifle for a mountain hunt for sheep, goats or elk, where sometimes even your boot laces are too heavy.

You may know Barrett best for its long-range rifles in .50 BMG and .338 Lapua Mag., but the company has announced a line of substantially smaller bolt guns for hunters at the 145th NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits.

Barrett entered the bolt-action hunting rifle business last year, and its initial offering, the Fieldcraft, is an ultra-light rifle developed using Remington’s Model 700 as a starting point.
