The Fieldcraft bucks the trend toward detachable magazines but that connective web of stock material beneath the magazine well vastly increases the stock’s rigidity.
Each year Safari Club International chooses only one rifle to be named the Gun of the Year. SCI’s Gun of the Year is offered only through SCI Chapter Fundraising events. With more than 160 SCI Chapters worldwide, SCI Chapters have helped support wildlife conservation and the fight to preserve our hunting freedoms.
Safari Club International is proud to announce that the 2019 SCI Gun of the Year is the Barrett Fieldcraft. This rifle has been exclusively customized for SCI with a unique black stock, black Cerakoted barrel and SCI Laser markings. Only 50 rifles were produced and are marked with limited edition numbers 1 through 50. The 2019 SCI Gun of the Year is only available through SCI Chapter fundraising events.
When they could not find the perfect hunting rifle, Barrett built one. The Fieldcraft rifle is designed to be carried farther on long days in the field and perform like a Barrett at that critical moment. The stock is crafted from hand-laid carbon fiber to provide an ultra-light yet stiff platform for shooting from field positions. The stainless steel actions are scaled for their specific caliber and fully hand bedded to the stock, providing rigidity that optimizes the accuracy of a lightweight rifle.
The Barrett Fieldcraft is the perfect combination of ultra-lightweight design and heavy-duty performance. Yet another example of how Barrett is going to greater lengths for the precision shooter.
Barrett’s 98B LW blends the best of tactical and hunting guns to create a conventional hunting rifle with radically unconventional looks.
SCI’s Marc Watts conducts a conservation conversation with Zimbabwe’s leading ecologist and wildlife expert Rose Chikerema. They discuss wildlife, the country’s successful conservation practices and the role hunters play in preserving survivability of species. This interview was conducted in Washington D.C., prior to Ms. Chikerema’s presentation which she made to the International Wildlife Conservation Council, an advisory body to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, in September 2018.
