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, 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.
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.
